An incredible and somewhat bizarre warning has been issued to those looking to watch the brand new Amazon Prime Video TV show starring James May, Jeremy Clarkson, and Richard Hammond.
Despite the trio saying they calling it a day after the end of The Grand Tour towards the end of 2024, the triumvirate are back with a bang as they return to Prime Video for a new show.
And it's kind of what they were already doing, with the show titled The Not Very Grand Tour. We wonder where they got the inspiration for that title from. Amazon confirmed the show last week, with a listing for it created on the British Board of Film Classification (bbfc) website.

Produced in 2024, it is a comedic documentary style show. No surprise there, given the trio's history on The Grand Tour and Top Gear before that, as well as Jezza's ventures in to the agricultural economy on Clarkson's Farm.
The show is also directed by Phil Churchward, who has directed and produced on The Grand Tour and Top Gear.
In a small blurb on the bbfc website, it says the documentary will be a 'motoring comedy documentary series; in this episode, the team celebrate the combustion engine, with a look back at footage from past adventures and test drives'.

Little is known about the show yet. But what we do have is insight in to episode one, and it sounds barmy.
Titled 'The Glory and the Power' and coming with a 12 rating, it says it comes with 'moderate sex references' as well as a language warning. No surprises there, really.
But the bbfc listing doesn't have go in to detail on what profanity we'll get if we tune in.

"There is infrequent implied strong language ('f**k') and milder terms which include 'c*ck', 'b*ll*cks', 'balls', 'sh*t', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'hell' and 'damn'," it notes.
On the sex references, it adds: "A man comically suggests another has achieved an erection from the excitement of driving a fast car; there is mild innuendo."
The bbfc also says there are 'additional issues' that some might take offence to when watching episode one, the first being a joke about French police officers as well as jokes around the topic of horse excrement.

There's also a building destroyed in an explosion and a man almost crashing a car. All in all, it sounds very Clarkson, Hammond, and May.
"A man jokes that French police officers 'pull your fingernails out' for committing motoring offences," the bbfc says.
"There is mild rude humour around the term 'horse poo', and we see archive footage which shows dung in city streets."

It adds: "A man briefly appears to lose control of the car he is driving, but this situation has a quickly reassuring outcome. A building is destroyed in a controlled explosion."
The Not Very Grand Tour will be released to Amazon Prime Video on Friday, 18 April.
