If there was any doubt over Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond’s The Grand Tour, let it be laid to rest.

A new clip from the trio’s upcoming Amazon Prime show continues the look and feel like the best Top Gear episodes.

The 30-second clip sees Clarkson channeling his inner Tom Hanks, shouting ‘Wilson’ at a lost volleyball, a reference to the film Cast Away.

Hammond can be heard in the background, calling to a boat as it floats past: “Can we have our ball back, please?”

In July, the first clip from The Grand Tour was released, showcasing the chemistry between the three presenters.

Meanwhile, a former Director-General of the BBC has said the broadcaster should not have sacked Clarkson following his infamous “fracas” with a producer on the set of Top Gear.

Chris Evans - who replaced the trio as one of Top Gear’s hosts - dropped out of the BBC show earlier this year, something May was reportedly ‘chuffed’ about - something later denied by Clarkson.

James Martin, of Saturday Morning Kitchen fame, is reportedly in talks to take over as host.
