12. How Different Will This Look To Top Gear? - The Grand Tour

Most Anticipated TV Questions
Amazon

After Jeremy Clarkson's infamous departure from Top Gear and the BBC, he and cohorts James May and Richard Hammond likely had their pick of where to go next.

They chose Amazon, and after a long period without much information, it's been revealed that they'll be presenting motoring show The Grand Tour, which basically sounds like Top Gear but with a much bigger budget.

Given the relative failure of the BBC show in their absence, TGT is no doubt going to be big, and a sure hit for Amazon, but just what will the series do to differ itself from Top Gear? It's said there'll be few studio segments, with a lot of location shooting, but with these three presenting can they make it feel like something other than 'Top Gear on Amazon'? Then again, maybe that's all people want.
