The Grand Tour
Love him or hate him, Clarkson will soon back on our screens - or the screens of people with Amazon Prime to be more accurate. At £4.5 million per hour long show, Top Gear, reincarnated as The Grand Tour, will broadcast its first episode via Amazon Prime on 18 November. Its trusted trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May will of course be at the helm. And if its official trailer on YouTube gives any indication of its popularity, it’s still got the same old magic – within three weeks of going online it had nearly 6 million views, with just 906 dislikes amongst them. Looks like it’s going to top the almost too embarrassing to mention Chris Evans iteration of Top Gear. At the moment though, the viewing figures might not get near to matching the money spent on each episode. It costs £79 a year to access Amazon Prime so viewing figures clearly won’t immediately match the six million viewers that watched Top Gear on the BBC. Unsurprisingly, some thought is already going into how this could change....
