Episode Summary & Review

Summary

In a mini special The Grand Tour decides to tackle world hunger by transporting fish from the bountiful coast of Mozambique to the impoverished interior using a Nissan pickup, a Mercedes 200T, and a TVS Star motorcycle. Along the way they encounter mud, accidents, and fish preservation issues on what turns out to be an epic, challenging and extraordinary journey.

Our Take

This one feels like a warm-up for the bigger specials, and it mostly works. The trio’s bickering in the mud is reliably funny and the Mozambique scenery gives it a sense of scale the studio episodes lack. The charity framing gets a bit preachy near the end, but the mechanical disasters keep things moving. Worth your time, especially if you’ve been skipping the studio stuff this season.
