Seasons
Season 1
With the exception of the two-part special for the first series, each episode featured studio segments filmed within a makeshift tent lot hosted across various foreign locales - two of these sites were each used for two separate but consecutive episodes. Although the series featured celebrities, most appeared in a minor capacity while others were mentioned or involved a look-alike - these appearances mainly were for a running gag involving them heading to meet the presenters in their tent for an interview, only to "die" in a freak accident.
Season 2
After the first series, the programme's studio segments were permanently filmed within the Cotswolds. In addition, celebrities were more fully involved in the programme than the minor appearance they had in the previous series, taking part for a special segment used in this only involving head-to-head timed laps between two guests in each episode, with the exception of the final episode which was a special.

The Grand Tour was unveiled with great fanfare and I found much of it very enjoyable, but unfortunately, the longer it goes on the more puerile and downright silly it's become. We know it's never really been about the cars, but now the cars are almost forgotten, having been replaced by the lads' egos. Season 4 on boats in Cambodia is cringeworthy and I'll have to pinch myself to watch it all the way through. Maybe the chemistry has gone from the trio because it's just not fun anymore.
