Jeremy Clarkson unveils name of his new Amazon motoring show

It seems to have been in the works forever - but now Jeremy Clarkson's new Top Gear rival show on Amazon is getting closer to reality as it now finally has a name.

Earlier today, the controversial broadcaster tweeted this message following a meeting with his co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond (playing on the idea of the conclave that gathers to elect a new Pope; white smoke is flown from the Vatican when a name is victorious). https://twitter.com/JeremyClarkson/status/730371978322952192   Tease that he is, Clarkson waited a few more minutes to build the suspense before unveiling the winner: https://twitter.com/JeremyClarkson/status/730375940124119040 According to a report in The Telegraph, the presenters' decision-making went like this. "Thing is," said Clarkson, "We'll be travelling the world hosting each episode in a different country, from a giant tent. It's a sort of 'grand tour', if you like. So we've decided to call it The Grand Tour."
