Maybe that's why he tuned in to watch a younger crowd on the BBC. Of course, The Grand Tour’s production is entirely dependent on the gang’s ability to travel (the clue’s in the title of the show) and with coronavirus severely hampering (well, completely stopping) international travel, season five is going to be negatively impacted.Ĭlarkson said as much on Twitter in early March: "We have one pretty much ready to go and when this virus business is settled, we will head off to do two more." That would have been a really crappy way to go." I'm at a disadvantage because it's a much shorter journey to my vital organs. "You could literally see it tracking up my leg.
