The Amazon program follows the presenters as
they test out all sorts of cars around the world, and this
season sees them travel to Colombia and Mongolia.
"There's a refugee crisis and politics going on left, right and
center," Clarkson said in an interview.
"It's quite nice to sit down to just go 'thank God we can just
park that for five minutes and watch these three fat old
imbeciles falling over and catching fire' because that's what
entertainment supposed to do, take your mind off the horrors of
everyday life."
The series launched in 2016, re-uniting the three former
presenters of the BBC's "Top Gear", a program Clarkson was
dropped from after he attacked a production staff member.
"Driving (Formula One racing driver) Jim Clark's Lotus 25 was an
amazing experience," Hammond said when asked about the show's
highlights.
"That, plus in Colombia getting over the biggest, tallest, most
rickety bridge you've ever seen in your life in a massive pickup
truck. It was not a highlight doing it but getting off the
bridge at the other side was."
The third season of "The Grand Tour" debuts on Jan. 18 on Amazon
Prime Video, the online retailer's subscription service. A
fourth series has already been announced.
