First, the BBC is free to use pretty much any music they like, so cost was never an issue (especially for a song as old as The A Team). Second, they actually did use the A Team music in at least two of the Top Gear specials — enough for it to be noted under Re Release Soundtrack on the Top Gear UK Page, as Dave removes the music for its repeats. The Running Gag of replacing the music got old on TG, so they stopped doing it.

** In "Sand Job", the air conditioning in Hammond's Aston Martin [=DB9=] Volante shuts off just ''fifteen minutes'' into the journey - not ideal when you're driving through the Sahara Desert - and the car itself overheats soon after. It continues to suffer from a litany of faults, mostly electrical, throughout the first half of the journey: it repeatedly gets stuck in gear, the dashboard intermittently shuts off, the overheating and gearbox issues force Hammond to crawl along at low revs and speed, and various other electronic systems deploy or shut down at random (including the deployable roll cage triggering on its own and smashing the rear window). Subverted once Hammond manages to limp to Nouakchott, where he's able to hook it up to a diagnostic laptop and finds that none of the car's systems are actually faulty; the ECU just ''thinks'' they're faulty and is shutting them down accordingly. Hammond tells the ECU to ignore the problems and, apart from its Sport mode failing to engage before the drag race, the [=DB9=] behaves itself for the rest of the journey.

** The goal of "Sand Job" is for the presenters to drive from the northern border of Mauritania all the way south to Dakar, in homage to the Paris-Dakar Rally. They're mere miles away when Clarkson receives a frantic text from Mr. Wilman informing him of [[https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/05/africa/sixteen-killed-senegal-protests-intl/index.html violent riots]] currently taking place there. Unable to set foot in Dakar, and with Senegal's other major airport closed, they're forced to drive all the way back to the Mauritanian capital to catch a flight home.
** Early on in "Sand Job", Clarkson notes that Mr. Wilman has asked them to arrange for the fuel truck to be "accidentally" blown up, so that Amazon can put the resulting footage in the trailer. At multiple points, it looks like just such an accident is about to ensue - May burns his hands on the fuel pump and struggles to hold it, the truck is winched down a cliff using a cable that's audibly straining against its weight, ''it's driven into an active minefield'' - and yet on every occasion it survives unscathed. Just as you're starting to wonder whether it actually ''will'' explode, [[ChekhovsGun Clarkson's rogue snowmobile comes hurtling out of nowhere]]...

Although an unstated number of specials are rumored to remain on the current contract, both filming in Zimbabwe, Clarkson and May have indicated posted on [[https://www.instagram.com/p/C0Rp0iEsbLu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Instagram]] that they are feeling their age and may be approaching retirement, with Clarkson being would mark the end of The Grand Tour, while at the same time confirming the renewal of his other Amazon show, Clarkson's Farm, which him been in an especially precarious position doubt after his remarks on Creator/MeghanMarkle landed him in hot water (again).

** In "Berks To The Future", Hammond and May criticize Clarkson for having spent £14,000 of the show's budget building a car that was only valued at a fraction of that price.
