The Grand Tour: A Massive Hunt Thoughts & What's Next For Jeremy, Richard And James?

After just over a year of waiting, The Grand Tour is finally back with their second special just in time for the Christmas holidays, A Massive Hunt.

The new special gives us host Jeremy Clarkson Richard Hammond and James May journey through Madagascar in search of buried treasure. The Grand Tour Presents: A Massive Hunt (the follow up to The Grand Tour Presents: Seaman) is one of the trios longest single episode specials to date. The episode comes in at a running time of 1 hour and 30 minutes. The cinematic running time also fits nicely alongside what seems to be one of their more movie-like episodes.

With a semi-scripted and semi-real storyline, James and Richard drag Clarkson along on a trip across Madagascar to find a multi-million dollar hidden pirate treasure. As is customary with the big epic specials, the three presents each modify their cars in several characteristic ways to help them battle the horrific roads of Madagascar. We see Hammond replace his four wheels with army tank tracks and James and Jeremy raising their own cars with some huge new tyers.

Since this is an episode of The Grand Tour you can be sure that you will be in for a laugh with these fully grown children. Some of the program's best laughs come from James May who constantly finds himself covered in turd filled water. Out of context that does sound a little strange, I'll admit that. The presents also stick the same old traditions to buy each other silly presents and leaving each other behind in times of need. Just like best mates do.

This new episode is a definite improvement on the guys last outing which saw them travel across the Mekong River in Vietnam and Cambodia in three different boats. The next special was rumoured to be taking place in Russia but because of the effects of COVID-19, it will now be filmed in Scotland.

Talking to The Express, James May had the following to say about the Scotland special.

"We’ve already filmed one for next year which is our recent Scotland adventure, so I would hope we could do another one next year but it’s slightly out of our control." - James May

There is no release date just yet but it's likely to be around Easter time.
