Richard Hammond has opened up on the next disaster which struck The Grand Tour as the boys filmed their next trip in Madagascar.

After Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May were almost killed at sea in Vietnam and Cambodia, they headed to the island for another perilous adventure, which saw the trio stranded from their film crew.

Clarkson wasted no time tweeting all the drama live as it unfolded, although they were well equipped with beer and wine so, you know, they received little sympathy from us.

However, Hammond explained chaos is inevitable when steering such an enormous operation.

‘Was that Jeremy tweeting about it?’ the 50-year-old asked Metro.co.uk, referring to the main man’s posts revealing the hosts were ‘marooned’. ‘[The Grand Tour] is logistically not easy to make.

‘[Seamen] was the hardest because we’re on boats but there’s 50 or 70 of us and then there might be 26 or 27 cars, and at any point that convey might have to stop because, let’s say Jeremy has driven into the bank or my engine has died, so that means you’ve got to bring out the crew.

‘You might need breakouts of mechanics, or bring out the supplies so it’s just a case of a huge operation and inevitably sometimes I think that’s an amazing set of skills.’

‘Only May, Hammond and I could do this: end up 500 miles away from the entire crew, on the wrong island,’ Clarkson tweeted at the time of filming in November. ‘We elected to fly on the cargo plane with the kit and it broke. Now we’re marooned on a tropical island with nothing but a car and wine.’

Moving forward, The Grand Tour’s current chapter will be presented as a series of specials rather than a weekly episodic series.

Earlier this month they released The Grand Tour presents… Seamen, which saw the gang accidentally drive their boats into a violent storm while Hammond also contracted sepsis. Although, the pain was worth it as fans lapped up the 90 minute special in their droves.

The Grand Tour presents Seamen is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now while the next episode is expected to drop in 2020.
