Watch The Trailer For The Final Episode Of The Grand Tour

The time’s almost here. The final episode of The Grand Tour featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May will arrive on 13 September, and it looks like it’s going to be a tearjerker.

Entitled One For The Road, the final special will see the trio travel across the southern African nation of Zimbabwe in three classic cars from the 1970s: a Lancia Beta Montecarlo, a Ford Capri and a Triumph Stag.

That’s about all we know for now – the trailer features almost no dialogue, just the emotional soundtrack of The Hollies’ ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.’ All we do get is a brief clip of Clarkson saying: “So, for the last time, here we go…”

From what we can see, though, it’s going to be more of what we’ve come to expect from The Grand Tour’s feature length specials: lots of laughs, lots of arguments, and lots of gorgeous scenery. And that clip of the three cars speeding across a salt flat, minus doors, is a less-than-subtle homage, we can’t help notice, to Top Gear’s Botswana special – the show that set the tone for the big, international adventures the trio’s been doing for some time.

The episode will bring to a close nearly 22 years of the trio working together, after May joined Clarkson and Hammond for the second series of the rebooted Top Gear in 2003. They left Top Gear in 2015 when Clarkson’s BBC contract wasn't renewed after he was involved in an incident with a producer.

The Grand Tour debuted on Prime Video in 2016, and after three series of a studio-based format, moved over to feature-length specials from 2019.

We’ve put together everything else we do know about the episode, as well as the future of The Grand Tour, here. In the meantime: are you emotionally prepared for this? We’re not sure we are.
