In a recent event in London on September 10, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May reflected on their 22-year partnership and the conclusion of their series, The Grand Tour. During their final adventure, they inadvertently engaged in illegal activity by smuggling silver from Zimbabwe into Botswana. The trio discovered that silver could be purchased inexpensively in Zimbabwe and decided to buy a significant amount to create car accessories. However, they realized at the Botswana border that they were not permitted to possess the silver. Clarkson humorously recounted their experience, noting the tension they felt while crossing the border with the contraband. Mariella Frostrup, who hosted the event, labeled them as potentially the world's dumbest criminals for their oversight. Despite their initial relief at crossing the border undetected, the situation became more complicated as their actions would soon be broadcasted globally, making it difficult to hide their crime. The incident highlights the trio's adventurous spirit but also their lack of awareness regarding legal boundaries. As they prepare for the airing of their final episode, the implications of their actions are brought to light, raising questions about the consequences of their behavior. Clarkson's ongoing success with his other series, Clarkson's Farm, contrasts with this misadventure, showcasing the duality of his career. The Grand Tour: One for The Road is set to premiere on Prime Video on September 13, further publicizing their escapade and the unintended crime they committed during their last journey together.
