The Grand Tour comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from November 2017 to March 2019.
The Grand Tour in Chongqing, China Tourism Promotion
The hosts critique an episode of "The Grand Tour" filmed in Chongqing, China, suggesting the show was paid by the Chinese tourism department to promote the city. They contrast the "sickening" promotion of Chongqing's infrastructure with the more authentic travel experiences found in Shanghai or Beijing.
During a segment of "The Grand Tour," presenter Richard Hammond crashed a Bulgarian electric supercar, which subsequently burned for five days due to a "domino effect" in the battery cells. The incident highlights the difficulty of extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires compared to internal combustion engines. Jeremy Clarkson is also noted for making a controversial political analogy regarding the Iraq War during the episode.
The hosts discuss the trend of people referring to pets as "fur children" and "dogters." They also speculate that Jeremy Clarkson may be the next target of sexual misconduct allegations as the new season of "The Grand Tour" premieres on Amazon.
