We can't wait for Clarkson and co. to be back.

Clarkson and co's new show, The Grand Tour, is nearly upon us. Finally, after what feels like YEARS of waiting, our favourite trio will be back on screen.

It's been a story of ups and downs. For some reason, Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc came out of nowhere at one point - but it's okay. It's all going to be alright because the boys are back in town.

The new show with the former Top Gear presenters was possibly going to be called Gear Knobs at one point, but there was also another name that was chucked around.

While on The Jonathan Ross Show, Jeremy Clarkson admitted that Three C***s Driving Along was also thrown into the mix.

Bloody hell, imagine getting that approved?

Another suggestion was House of Cars which I assume would have thrown up some infringement issues.

Describing the new show, Clarkson said: "You can't do the same show because of 'intellectual property'.

"So lawyers come and say, 'You can't do that, you can't have the audience standing up, you can't do Star In A Car, you can't have The Stig, James May can't be slow and pedantic, I can't be bombastic, Hammond can't be short and from Birmingham' so we had to jumble everything up and so we had to start again."

The Grand Tour hits Amazon Prime next week.
