What The Not Very Grand Tour Is About
Richard Hammond and James May look back at nostalgic clips of The Grand Tour.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 1 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its comedy/documentary roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on James May and Richard Hammond to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
James May and Richard Hammond lead the cast.
Key roles include James May as James May; Richard Hammond as Richard Hammond.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy, documentary and sports have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Prime Video’s other originals, a 6.7/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2025 and carried by Prime Video with the series still running, it lands hardest with comedy and documentary viewers.
How The Not Very Grand Tour Compares
If The Not Very Grand Tour lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy/documentary lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole The Not Very Grand Tour is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with James May and Richard Hammond doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy/documentary roots, It has held up since 2025 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Not Very Grand Tour is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy and documentary lane, at 1 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 6.7/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 6.7/10. Watch it if you want comedy/documentary you can settle into.
