We do have some partially-formed ideas on the back burner which we were working on before COVID stopped everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t tell you what they are yet because we haven\u2019t quite decided but to be honest, I don\u2019t mind where we go. On a personal level, I prefer warm places to cold places. But the objective of Grand Tour is not for us to have a holiday, it\u2019s to entertain the viewers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if that meant going somewhere cold where we were all miserable, then I think the people watching the show would enjoy that. So to be honest, anywhere where we can tell a good story. I\u2019m not that fussy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Grand Tour Presents: Carnage A Trois will launch Friday 17th December on Amazon Prime Video.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;template-article__advert&quot;\">\n<section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\" editor-content=\"\" ev-meter-content=\"\"><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/feature.html?ie=UTF8&amp;docId=1000784673&amp;tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot; noopener noreferrer\" data-geniuslink=\"&quot;https:\/\/buy.geni.us\/Proxy.ashx?TSID=114542&amp;GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2Fgp%2Ffeature.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26docId%3D1000784673%26tag%3Dradtim0b-21%26ascsubtag%3Dradiotimes-1519473&amp;dtb=1&quot;\">Sign up for Amazon Prime Video<\/a>\u00a0for \u00a37.99 a month with a 30-day free trial.
