The Grand Tour fans are all saying the same thing as Jeremy Clarkson’s hit Prime show comes to an end

Must read

Fans of The Grand Tour were left in tears as the hit Prime show came to an end after six series on Friday.

The series followed Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May on a worldwide mission to meet different car manufacturers and has been on air since 2016, following the trio’s departure from Top Gear two years earlier.

But the show came to an end with the sole episode of the sixth series, which saw the three TV stars head out in cars they’ve always wanted to own.

It was the end of an era for the trio, who first started working together on Top Gear more than two decades ago.

And fans were beside themselves as Jeremy, Richard and James hung up their car keys for the final time.

Viewers took to X/Twitter to share their emotions as the grand finale went out on the streaming service.

One wrote: ‘The final episode of The Grand Tour, .

‘I’m not crying you are. Good luck and thank you for the good times Jeremy Clarkson, James May & Richard Hammond. It’s been one hell of a ride. ‘

A second wrote: ‘I am still crying!’

But another remained positive about the whole thing, noting that it was the ‘perfect’ way to end the whole series.

They wrote: ‘Perfect ending. And very cleverly done.’

Last week, Richard said he was getting ready to ‘wake up and cry every day’ as he prepares to bid goodbye to his partnership with Jeremy and James. 

Speaking on Monday’s This Morning ahead of the final episode, Richard admitted he was ‘struggling to get his head around’ the end.

Joining hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, he recalled his career on Top Gear and said: ‘It went berserk and we didn’t know it would go out of control. It feels really weird I can’t get my head round it.

 ‘I’ve been doing this for 22 years because of that partnership. I’ll be forever grateful to Jeremy and James.’

Richard continued: ‘It’s not sunk in yet. I reckon six months from now I’ll wake up every morning and cry.

‘When I got the job, I was 31, I burst out crying when they called. I said to my wife, ‘this is going to change everything,’ and it did.’

Long-time producer Andy Wilman told the Edinburgh TV Festival that filming the episode was ‘quite weepy’ and ‘quite heart-stringy’.

Asked why the trio had decided to bring to a close the global phenomenon, Wilman said: ‘We are getting to the point where enough is enough. On top of that, there is the sense that we want to end things on our own terms. It had to come to an end and we wanted to be the ones who called it.’

They shot the last episode in September last year. It will see the hosts return to Kubu Island, Botswana, which was the location of their first ever special. Wilman described the episode as ‘deliberately gentle’ as the three stars wanted to go back to basics.
