Like the poster above said, you'll never know for certain that Amazon won't change their mind, but I would be very happy to bet my house that you won't see any TGT on broadcast tv for the next three years.
What I'm unsure about though is whether Amazon will break their 'no DVD release' policy for The Grand Tour... maybe a DVD release of the first series to coincide with the launch of the second series? Who knows... |

This is what I'm excited about I loved the specials where they travel the world doing challenges, I should think every episode should be similar and also very cinematic, the budget is huge

They've categorically state there'll be no more 'challenges'. The IP for that remains with Top Gear.

I have no doubt there will still be challenges. They might not be called challenges. And they might not be exactly the same as what we’ve previously been used to. But I’m confident there will still be challenges. Intellectual properly law can only provide so much protection...

And knowing CHM they'll actively fly as close to the sun as they can get with that- there will be a section where Clarkson will say they can't do "challenges", at which point James, unable to respond as he usually would, would say "Oh penis" and Richard would drive in a straight line without getting killed.
For fans of US late night television, the whole thing reminds me of when Conan O’Brien unexpectedly left as host of ‘The Tonight Show’ and then embarked on his ‘Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour’. |

In the same way that he seemed to say that there could be no Christmas Special (for legal reasons) but that they would propbably air a special episode at or near Christmas witout calling it a "special"? |

The enjoyment of the audience, it really looks like the good old days or not so old really

I wonder if Ben Collins will be back to test cars. Obviously not Stig but as the "urine soaked former racing driver" spoof

I still find it slightly odd that the episode they just recorded in California will act of the first episode, whilst the episode they recorded in South Africa over a month ago will act as the second episode. Maybe they wanted everyone to feel more ‘at home’ in the first episode, so decided to record after they’d already done one (the second episode)?

What I find amusing is that Amazon heavily promoted a discount offer for their Prime Membership around this time last year with pictures of CMH. However anyone who took up that offer will find that it needs to renew at full price before they actually get to watch them.
18th November. Of course. |

In an interview a few years back Clarkson said they love South Africa and the enthusiastic reaction they get there so they always launch new shows -- like the live shows they do --- there. I'm guessing that's why they did it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZlUrImBf0E The episode they filmed first, in South Africa, will be what the viewers see as the second episode of the series. |

But to the viewers they aren’t launching the series in South Africa, they are launching it in California.
The episode they filmed first, in South Africa, will be what the viewers see as the second episode of the series. There are no links between the shows --as in a drama --- and there is no news section so nothing is current so In reality if they hadn't told anyone about South Africa they could make the programs and show them in any order they want and no one would be any the wiser

I wonder if they will sell it back to the BBC like they did with Ripper Street.

I think that this might only be open to Amazon Prime customers (certainly it's Amazon.co,uk customers), but you can get a chance to get a pair of tickets for The Grand Tour when it comes to Whitby on 13th & 14th Oct: Quote:

Whitby? I wasn't expecting that... too far north for me unfortunately - not that actually getting tickets was ever going to be likely.

Some info about the opening shots of the first episode: Quote:
THE £2.5million opening scene for Jeremy Clarkson’s new car show is the most expensive ever seen on the small screen. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...er-seen-on-tv/
Shot in the Californian desert, it features 150 cars, 2,000 “petrolheads”, acrobats, stilt-walkers and six jet planes. Clarkson, 56, and sidekicks Richard Hammond and James May sped across the Lucerne Valley in customised red, white and blue Ford Mustangs. The trio were followed by £20million worth of cars, including a Bugatti Veyron and Rolls-Royce. A source said: “Nothing remotely like it has been seen before.” |
