Amazon has announced ‘The Grand Tour‘ returns with the first of the Season 4 specials on Friday, 13th December 2019… And because they are children, and it is a boat-based challenge, they have, of course, called it ‘The Grand Tour presents: Seamen’.
The feature-length episode will feature Clarkson, Hammond & May ditching the cars and heading on a 500-mile river trip across Vietnam and Cambodia. It will feature the usual things we’ve come to expect, such as the trio explaining why they have picked that particular watercraft, and bosting about why it is better than the other two. This will be proved (or not) in racing challenges, tasks, and interspersed with breakdowns, mishaps, and the usual joking around.
“We know fans love to see the guys take on these incredible adventures across exotic locations and The Grand Tour presents: Seamen does just that – this feature-length special promises to be a thrilling off-road escapade, full of challenges and jeopardy, climaxing in one of the most dangerous and exciting challenges Jeremy, Richard and James may have ever endured,” commented Georgia Brown, Director of European Originals, Amazon.
This is the first of a series of specials coming over the next 12 months after the group decided to ditch the traditional studio format entirely after 17yrs, and move to something more in line with the old ‘Top Gear’ specials. Amazon is also working with Clarkson, Hammond & May on various solo projects which includes six-part unscripted series ‘Our Man In… Japan‘ with May, and a six-part series with Hamster which sees him stranded together on a desert island with ‘MythBusters’ Tory Belleci. Clarkson is currently serving as the new host of ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ for ITV.
‘The Grand Tour presents: Seamen‘ premieres Friday, 13th December 2019 on Amazon Prime UK and worldwide.
