They're filming, as we speak.

Clarkson's Farm is a bonafide hit for Amazon, scoring the highest IMDB rating of any show produced for Amazon. A second season contract has already been inked.
Camera crews were spotted working at Diddly Squat Farm last week.
This is interesting, as the next Grand Tour episode airs 7/30/21, so they need to be working on something now, in order to keep to any sort of a schedule.
Wonder what they can do next, considering today's special circumstances?

I've been disappointed by the Grand Tour since they stopped talking about cars and started talking about stunts and (pre-staged) "challenges" (wink, wink).
It has become a parody of what Top Gear used to be. However, I was never a fan of the "challenges" that TG did.
Lets talk about cars on a car show. You want challenges? OK. Let's see which car does something better. Otherwise it's all stunts and comedy.
But, Clarkson's Farm, while undoubtedly had a lot of Top Gear and Grand Tour "stunt" stuff in it, was engaging, sincere and fun.
Almost all of James May's stuff is wonderful and engaging as well.
Let's hope they do better.

They turned down all the laddish stupidity and oafishness with Clarkson's farm, and saw him actually working with other people, whilst still keeping the same sense of humour.
I'd got really tired of Top Gear by the time it ended.
I saw a video of Clarkson being interviewed about motorsport in about 2o13, and he was complaining that the sport had been ruined after Niki Lauda was horrifically burned, and that it had been 'taken over by homosexuals' as he put it. What a fucking stupid thing to say. I felt like if he really wanted people to burn to death in public maybe they could hand him a petrol can.
Anyway, Clarkson's Farm is awesome, and he is forgiven.
