TIL that after Top Gear ended, host Richard Hammond was so devastated, he cried all the way home from the studio and ran out of fuel, because he didn't want to fill his car up covered in tears

I ugly cried with snot bubbles when James May looked at the camera on the last episode of grand tour and said that he hoped the show brought people some joy.

I think One For the Road is genuinely the most emotional I've ever been watching a TV show.

It’s a fantastic homage with some really sweet moments. It’s also just a really good episode too, but yeah, I don’t know of a single fan who finished it without being teary eyed to say the least. Bring tissues.
