Clarkson also shared another photo wherein he mentioned, "Of all the f**king bubbles I could have ended up in" talking about the social bubble they had to be in following the COVID-19 pandemic guidelines.
According to a report of Radio Times, the team has already shot another episode for next year in Scotland. However, they had originally planned to shoot it in Russia but the pandemic ruined their plans. James May told them that they would definitely shoot the episode in Russia and release 2 episode together next year.
