Trivia
Clarkson announced this would be the final episode of The Grand Tour, as the rigors of filming the series have become too much for them as they are all getting too old.

Goofs
Clarkson mentions the Botswana special from Top Gear 2007 as being their first ever special; it wasn't, it was the forth special, preceded by Winter Olympics, USA and Polar.

Quotes
Self - Presenter: I'm simply not interested in electric cars. They are just ... white goods. They're washing machines, they're ... microwave ovens. You can't redeem those, you can't enjoy them. They are just shit.

The finishing touch...

There's no real surprises in terms of format, and the jokes hit with a slightly worn out, but somehow very comforting familiarity. Zimbabwe is beautiful, but this episode is less about this specific journey, and more about the one they've been on together for over 20 years.

At first it's just a few moments where you see the guys' thoughts trail away to memories, but as the trip progresses the atmosphere of it all ending slowly takes over the wheel. You find yourself gradually joining in that feeling, almost as if you were there all along... and if you're of a certain age, you pretty much were.

If you're of that certain age, the final moments will resonate in a way you may find surprising... for your certain age. ;)

Thank you all for the memories - yes, you did bring us happiness. All the best. <3.
