Top Gear and The Grand Tour speak behind the scenes to avoid overlapping

Deadline

There have been times when the BBC car series and the Amazon car series hosted by Top Gear alums Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have crossed paths. But the two shows try to communicate to avoid crossing paths. "If we know in advance they are going somewhere, we would avoid it because it’s not what viewers want,” said Clare Pizey, a Top Gear executive producer, adding that it also speaks to the mutual respect between the two shows.
