Looking forward to seeing it.
I too like JC and the Grand Tour /Top Gear team. Also we like James Mays humour his series on Japan and Italy are both interesting and entertaining.
JC is funny and says what a lot of people think., love his Farm series.
These guys will be around for many years to come.

I loved the show and I loved Top Gear when these three were presenting it. Jeremy Clarkson makes me laugh and I agree with so many things he says, he does not dress it up, he says what he thinks. I was also teary at the end as I found it very emotional. All those years ago when they first started in Top Gear in 1988 my husband was alive, fit and well, our sons were still living at home and we were travelling all over the world.

So many things have happened since then and not all for the good.

I now watch Jeremy's Clarksons farm.

I wish all three of them the best of luck for the future.

Yes Bridie22 - have just now been commenting on the trees (with my daughter).

What a journey!
I think JC has been on quite a journey too.

Zimbabwe was the star of the show breathtaking views magnificent scenery.

The Grand Tour, filmed mainly in Zimbabwe was worth watching in an "end of an era" kind of way.

Those of us who had boys (mainly boys) maybe 30 or 40 years ago will remember how they loved this trio.
As parents (and women) we almost certainly didn't take to Clarkson but I've just watched this last ever episode and found myself a bit teary at the end.
