Grand Tour’s second series
S
SO FAR, we’ve only seen a very short "sneak peek’" video of The Grand Tour’s second series. But if you’re clamouring for more insight into Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May’s second Amazon Prime Video outing, here’s some good news: a tasty batch of images have been released on the show’s Facebook page.
The behind-the-scenes images are taken from the new ‘The Grand Tour Guide to the World’ book, released recently.
In the images, we can see what looks like a cheap Jaguar challenge with a pair of old XJs, an XK and an XJ-S, Richard Hammond driving a ‘Ripsaw’ light tank and an Ariel Nomad, plus a still from that supercar feature that ended in Hammond crashing a Rimac Concept One and fracturing his leg.
As to when the series will be out, we can’t be sure. We were originally expecting it late October/early November, but thanks to the Rimac crash and Jeremy Clarkson’s serious bout of pneumonia, a delay seems likely. What we do know is that the studio will be in a fixed UK location this time around.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
