Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are set to stir up trouble around the world on The Grand Tour, so it was only a matter of time before they brought it back home.

However, it seems a slightly awkward setting given Yorkshire was the location of Jeremy Clarkson's infamous fracas that started this whole move from the BBC in the first place.

Revealing the news, Jay Marine, VP of Amazon Video Europe, said (via Radio Times): "Our first UK stop on The Grand Tour will be the historic North Yorkshire town of Whitby, so we invite fans to get in early to join Jeremy, Richard and James for thrills, spills and fish and chips by the seaside."
