Jeremy Clarkson reveals strict criteria new Grand Tour hosts must meet for show to continue

Jeremy Clarkson has incredibly high expectations for any potential new Grand Tour hosts

The last ever episode of The Grand Tour marks the end of a 22-year on-screen relationship between the iconic trio of motoring madmen.

We're all going to miss it.

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have featured together for the final time in their new special The Grand Tour: One for the Road.

Heading to Zimbabwe for their last hurrah, the three of them get behind the wheel of cars they have always wanted to own: a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag.

Here's what to expect below:

Amazon Prime Video dropped the final episode today (13 September) and the rumour-mill has already begun on whether the show will continue or not.

Addressing the idea of the series continuing without them, May told LADbible: "Well, there are rumours that it is, and I hope it does."

And Hammond seemed to agree, adding: "Absolutely, it'd be nice to watch it rather than make it."

To which May quipped: "I'd like to see these two still in it."

"And you can watch us torturing ourselves around the world?" Hammond hit back.

"No, it'd be lovely if it carries on."

However, if it were to go ahead with a new line-up, Clarkson was adamant they had to meet some strict criteria to be considered.

"I think they should get three unknowns," the 64-year-old began.

"The biggest mistake they could make, by a mile, is getting people whose names we already know - 'Oh, they like cars'. That's not good enough.

"I need to be able to show you an eighth of a car's door mirror, and you've got to tell me exactly what car that is. And if you don't know, you can't have the job.

"You've got to know your stuff. You've got to be able to drive, and you've got [to be] motoring journalists as well. So, but they've got to be unknowns."

At an Amazon Prime Video Q&A event in London on Tuesday (10 September), Hammond reflected on what they have achieved together.

"I’ll miss the start of the special. And I miss the fact that we’ve done stuff together all over the world," he said.

"Every conceivable landscape, but also the live stuff we’ve done together, and you reach a point where if we’re all three on camera, something happens, you do sort of instinctively know, 'that’s a Jeremy thing, I’m going to let him run with that'."

The Grand Tour: One for the Road is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now.
