Clear from beginning that the petrolhead prima donnas have retained their charm. The Grand Tour, the new motoring show starring the former Top Gear presenting team, was always going to prove spectacular. A blockbuster opening sequence featured fighter jets, flame-belching cars straight out of Mad Max and an air-conditioned tented studio in the Californian desert. It was clear from the very beginning of The Grand Tour that the petrolhead prima donnas had indeed retained their grumpy-bloke charm. Amazon has lofty ambitions for The Grand Tour, of which there will be 12 episodes in 2016, with another 24 to follow across the next two years.
