![[image loading]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmDOIBgXIAAvzbV.jpg:large) We're back!!!! Clarkson, Hammond and May finally came up with a new name for their show and confirmed the release date, well sort of, they went full blizzard and said "Autumn 2016" 18th November 2016 - Season 1 Episode 1! Not only will the guys travel to different locations, but for the first time ever the studio audience recordings will travel every week, all housed within a giant tent. Amazon customers will have the chance to be in the audience when tickets are released through prize draws this summer. Seems like it will be a moving show, up and down the UK? Across Europe, who knows but more information will be coming out sooner rather than later. I'll add more and more information when possible but for now, we wait  Clarkson TwitterJames May TwitterRichard Hammond Twitter

Definitely not limited to the UK Id imagine
|
I'd hope they come to some location in the states I could get to but Minnesota isn't exactly known for anything that would interest these guys. Maybe Chicago.
|
Hmm. Interesting. I thought they said they were going to do away with the studio bits. Either we misunderstood and they meant they were doing away with a set location, or they changed their minds.

definitely going for as many tickets as I can get

I was hoping it was gonna be called Gear Knobs. Still, great to see it moving forward, with a name and (sort of) launch date. I also hope they keep the studio bits, that was part of the variety that kept every Top Gear show fresh.

Also i have found out the first Grand Tour's first episode will be filmed from Johannesburg - South Africa! This will come to us sometime in July!! Well at least recorded in July, but they are doing the same set up as the Top Gear, where it is just gonna be a big tent with them showing pre recorded clips and talking. So i assume that will be the episode and air roughly the same time?
|
You mean the running time will be the same?

Yeah the "contract" with Amazon is 3 seasons, 12 episodes per season and 60 minute episodes.
|
That is longer than the BBC format for time no?

In terms of episodes per seasons/series it is. However the BBC episodes were all 60 minutes long. Used to run 20:00 - 21:00 and if you have access to Dave you can remind yourself too. Nothing beats Top Gear

really looking forward to it !

Old Top Gear didn't count their episodes through seasons tho, they counted them pr year. They got 14 episodes (at 60 min) a year, which they split into 2 seasons (sometimes the episodes could skew into the next year). So if Amazon TGT only gets 12 episodes pr season, and one season is once a year, it's 2 less than before.

I know there is a way to do this not with an external site, but this should suffice.
