Jeremy Clarkson and his cohorts have done pretty well for themselves since ‘Steakgate’, which saw Clarkson fired from Top Gear, and the eventual demise of the trio as hosts.

The Grand Tour, which sees Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May reunited, has been chugging along nicely, and the Amazon Prime-funded show has the kind of budget that allows them to get up to their usual mischief.

The first trailer has now dropped, ahead of a new special, dubbed Seamen, and it sees the three men leaving their cars behind and taking to the water as they travel through Vietnam and Cambodia.

More details via Deadline:

The feature-length episode is the first in a sequence of specials the team is making for Amazon Prime Video after they decided last year to ditch The Grand Tour‘s studio format, set in a tent, and concentrate on a series of adventures…

For their journey along the Mekong Delta, Clarkson recreates a Vietnam war-era Patrol Boat River, Hammond charters a Miami Vice-style speedboat, while May enjoys a 1939 wooden river cruiser.

I wonder how many people Clarkson offended along the way:

Producers are talking a good game, saying the special ends with “one of the most dangerous and exciting challenges Jeremy, Richard and James may have ever endured”.

Is it refusing to serve Clarkson a steak?

Seamen will air on December 13, and work on the second special, part of which is set in Madagascar, is said to be well underway.
