The Grand Tour airs emotional final episode
The end of the road has come for Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May as they say goodbye to The Grand Tour in emotional scenes.
In the final episode, titled One for the Road, the trio head to Zimbabwe in three cars they have always wanted to own. In a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag, the boys visit their favourite location from 20 years of travelling the world.
As they bid farewell to their lives on The Grand Tour, a montage of flashbacks and present day clips are thrown into the final minutes of the two-hour episode.
"What a way to end The Grand Tour. What a place," Clarkson says as he drives down a sandy path.
In the final moments of One for the Road, which may prove to be an emotional viewing for those who have followed the presenting trio over the years, they each drive alongside one another as they reach Kubu Island.
The last minutes of the film needed to be there!
A particular poignant moment, flashbacks are shown from the first time the men all visited the island before it jumps back to the present day, as they recreate old scenes.
Executive producer Andy Wilman said Kubu Island was "their favourite place in all the 18 years that we've been doing the specials", so they "knew the last minutes of the film needed to be there".
As they stood atop one of the boulders on the island, it was a wrap!
"That's it," Hammond says before they all shake hands and say goodbye to the production crew.
The trio then drive down out of Kubu Island and veer off into their separate ways, marking an end to The Grand Tour.
Speaking of filming the ending, Hammond noted that it wasn't just emotional for the three of them but for the entire group of people who worked behind the scenes.
"We've worked together for decades and we've been through good times and bad," he said. "We've seen each other in jungles covered in leeches, exhausted and grumpy in tents and boiling heat, elated in the most beautiful cities in the world. We're a great big dysfunctional family, so there were a lot of tears."
