SEATTLE, May 11 (UPI) -- Former Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have announced the name of their latest auto-themed television program -- The Grand Tour.
Set to debut this fall, the Amazon Prime show will "feature short films shot in different locations around the globe and the studio audience portion of the showcase will also take place at a different location around the world every week," the streaming service said in a press release.
"The pre-recorded studio sections of the program will be filmed in front of a live audience, all housed within a giant tent. Therefore, in this spirit of travel, adventure and intrigue, the presenters have decided to call the show The Grand Tour."
"Thing is, we'll be traveling 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," Clarkson said Wednesday.
"I wanted to call it Nigel or Roger. We needed a name, and they're names," May quipped.
"I already love camping," Hammond remarked. "But this is something else. We are like our pioneering and prospecting forebears, sallying forth into a new frontier of broadcasting."
Clarkson was fired from the British version of Top Gear a year ago after a dustup with a producer, and May and Hammond refused to do the show without Clarkson.
A revamped version of Top Gear with a new cast of hosts is to premiere on the BBC on May 22.
