I think that's because Clarkson finally burned his bridges at Amazon.
Best part for me was the fun with Nigel. The accents - the Brits are so aware of accents - were hilarious. That came across as a genuine good time.

Be careful if you have tender feelings about SSR's...

In part. Contracts for grand tour are up in 24, and not getting renewed according to May. There is another grand tour special coming though before then. He mentioned this specifically when talking about season 2 of "Oh cook" which was pretty good in itself.
In a mOve that surprised the hell out of me for as much as Amazon loves precious princess, err duchess, Meghan, Clarksons farm will have a third season that won't be finished filming until October, and apparently won't feature much Kaleb. According to Clarkson himself. Kaleb, according to British newspapers, has gotten a job with the royal gardening farming society or some such nonsense British term for Department of agriculture.
And whatever weird stuff Hammond is doing after that monstrosity of a show with Tory from Mythbusters I haven't heard about.
In reply to RevRico :
That show with the myth buster was brutal. I couldn't.
I rather enjoyed that one. The Mansell stuff was great, as was the Crosley as ambulance at the race track.
I really hate hearing that those three are done. BBC fired him, now Amazon, who else is left?
I liked this one, wasnt as good as some of the 'classic' content, but as a recent interview with Hammo said - they arent 20 years younger and not really interested in sleeping in cold cars etc
This was a good one. Clarkson's a shiny happy person tho, he deserves what he gets, he's earned it

Interesting! The interview I read was before the latest one was released and he made it sound like it would be the last. He said because they were getting older, had their own shows going on, etc.
I hope May does more "Our man in X" and more of his cooking show. He's a great TV host when not being shouted down by Clarkson.
I watched the latest one.
It really seemed like they were going through the motions at multiple points during the show. I still enjoyed it, but it didn't have the snap of the earlier ones.
"Because you're fat"
I enjoyed this, because Clarkson has picked on Americans for being fat for decades. Fat shaming Jezza is wonderful irony.
I had low expectations but this one was actually pretty funny. Not side splitting, but definitely funny. The obviously not wax Nigel was a highlight. Did they just take a blow torch to his face?
I think it was due to the sun on that side of the car as they drove.....
I think the choice of the Crosley was ludicrous in the first place, and what was that noise it was making? It couldn't have been the engine as you could hear the engine sounding more normal in other shots, you only heard it from the front.....made it sound like the engine was turning 10,000RPM ot like it had some horrendous vaccum leak or something.
£11,500 is about $14K in real money - seems like a lot for that Crosley

The Crosley was obviously a terrible choice, and there's no way a guy like James May didn't know that. But, bad choices make for good TV.
A convertible Crosley is probably worth that. They are pretty rare.
It took me awhile, but I figured out the dubbed in engine sound was actually a weed whacker.

Agreed. If you concentrate you can hear the car in several parts. But that car would make a lot of gear whine as a lot of old cars do.
