When Jeremy said "Bad...follow by Bad to Richard to the radio. That's mateship right there. He knew it was bad and rather than make any form of joke. He let his other mate know things were bad. But also the follow up after and the genuine concern for one anothers safety was ❤❤❤
@@EleanorPeterson you could be driving safely and someone can still run a red light and T-bone you. Especially if they did it purposely for some reason...
I get a bit worried, seeing as theses guys are 62 and 59 and 52 respectively...I love what they do and they love what they do but I just wonder how much longer they have left in the tank before saying "this is it..."
Watched the episode itself a few days ago, didn't even know it was out, hadn't seen any marketing or press stuff about it The tunnel crash made my jaw absolutely drop. Actually stomach churning. I hope May makes a full recovery. If I may say, it was a good move by the editing team to not drop any hints in the footage leading up to it. It allowed the moment to be shocking.
As big a Subaru guy as I am, I have a new-found respect for the Evo thanks to this special. It crashed twice, the second time in icy water, and it was resurrected both times for James to finish the challenge.
The tunnel crash was quite tense. Poor James, it must've been tough to carry on with a broken rib, but he soldiered on. I must say though this video did capture the best crashes and accidents. The houses on ski's had me in stitches. I agree with Jeremy; that was the funniest thing they've done in cars for a long time. I also need to find a soundclip of Clarkson shouting "Hammond!!!" when he found out his Audi was iced in. The echo made it funnier. Scandi Flick, 10/10, bravo everyone at The Grand Tour!
literally just finished watching the Scandi Special. Wow…. my love for these 3 is just further cemented. Had me absolutely dying of laughter countless times. I’m glad it was so long because I never wanted it to end. I didn’t even believe the James May crash in the tunnel was real at first that was insane!!! Way to go carrying on just to end up in a not so frozen lake 😂 Already waiting for the next special from the holy trio.. please please please never stop making these type of specials ❤️
Me and 2 year old daughter was watching this together. When James may crashed I was in shock and my daughter cried in panic about it. James may you legend
I remember reading articles regarding James May's crash but this is my first time actually seeing it. Absolutely terrifying. The boys like to joke and prank each other but after an incident like that you can really see the true colors of their friendship. These 3 really are the world's greatest trio. 🤘💪❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
The frozen car prank was easily the top 5 fav pranks...when hammand tryied to explain what happened and and geremy was not having it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i love this show cant wait for the next episode
So happy to see this new episode. Personally wasn't a fan of the last couple and I feel like they've gone back to what they are good at. Keeping it simple, focussing on the brilliant cars and being entertaining
Seeing James crash into that tunnel had me terrified. I was praying for him to make a full recovery. Then to see him crash into the ice, that had me even more worried.
"How are you feeling?" "Bit shit" Lmao. In all seriousness, that tunnel part shows that these guys are willing to go trough all kind kinds crazy stuff just to make quality content. No words can describe my respect for them. You guys keep making the world a bit better place, even if it means crashing an Evo every now and then! :)
They never claimed to be professionals, I believe that's what makes the show so great! You know they're going to cock it up, just don't know how! I am truly impressed with Hammonds winching knowledge..lol
Has anyone from The Grand Tour ever thought of doing special on the British Canal Network? Because watching Clarkson operate locks and being forced to travel at 4 mph would be absolutely hilarious.
I laughed so hard at Hammond trying to go up with the ski lift. I cried of laughter. Then Jeremy trying to tow his shelter going back and forth. That was hilarious as well. When James is on his car, Hammond tell him don't go anywhere. He's like "where am I going to go?
I verry rarely leave a reply to something but after watching you guys for many years i have to say this was one of my favourites maybe a factor that these are the kind of cars i grew up loving but all round a great episode please make more frequent episodes again!
Man I wish Hammond could get a show where he goes off roading for real and showcases his skills! What a different show the great escapists would have been if him and TB went to a few of those extreme off roading competitions
Such a bittersweet episode. I always wished they would use a Evo as a hero car. Unfortunately, the one time captain slow crashes, it had to be the Mitsubishi.
My God James hit hard. Did anyone else notice that the EVO was equipped with rather aggressive studded tires ? These are indeed needed in Icy conditions for traction. But on concrete , they did quite the opposite. Think of your Cat or Dog trying to run on a hard wood floor. Bim lives to see another day. And that is a very good thing.😀
After seeing this episode and that Volvo I've developed a whole new attitude around road rage . Instead of getting angry at slow drivers I'm now going to pull up alongside them and try to guess the working HP left in their engine 🤣. If you win the other driver has to give you an orange 🤣🤣🤣
4:43 he did half smacked his head against that window on the right and I hope James is alright because that’s a huge accident because that crash could have killed him as well as Hammond years before
One of the upsides about james' crash is it really shows that no matter how much they take the piss out of each other they really do care for one another.
Glad James and everyone else is ok. This was one of the greatest episodes in 'television' history. I find it absolutely ridiculous when people compare other car shows to these three legends.
there’s another episode that’s already been filmed that’ll be released sometime around the end of the year where they’re in Poland and the Baltic countries.
There’s been no ‘seasons’ since three years ago in 2019, as they mentioned at the time, they would continue to do a couple of specials per year and thankfully they have done.
@@AtheistOrphan Actually they have had “seasons”. This is the first episode of season 5. the previous 4 specials were “season 4”. That’s how the episodes are divided up on Amazon Prime, IMDB and on wikipedia.
What was your favourite line from this special? 🤔
In hindsight I’ve made a mistake
"We appear to have slept in a museum exhibit"
When Jeremy said "Bad...follow by Bad to Richard to the radio. That's mateship right there. He knew it was bad and rather than make any form of joke. He let his other mate know things were bad. But also the follow up after and the genuine concern for one anothers safety was ❤❤❤
That was a brisk start for a James May..and a brisk stop you might say
4:42 wow
"Well done for not dying."
May's crash was bloody awful but that really made me laugh.
Me too, though not as much as Jeremy’s collision with the noticeboard 😂
Out of all the people to make such a joke after such an event, Hammond had every right to be the one
I'd only just noticed James said ''I'm in the Volvo'' just before that.
Hammond driving slow after James’ crash was hilarious
hammond was like if james could crash..i dont stand a chance mate lool
@@nsm487 The Captain Slow method works lol!
And he didn’t have his trousers cut. xD
James's crash definitely shows the importance of side impact and curtain air bags.
@kualsvinus9593it's a road car.
Noooooo, it shows the importance of not driving like a maniac. No need for 'safety features' if you're driving safely. Me no lie, bwana.🤭
@@EleanorPeterson you could be driving safely and someone can still run a red light and T-bone you. Especially if they did it purposely for some reason...
@@brandondaway1 except that's not what happened here
@@kieranhurst8543 That doesn't matter in the context of the comment chain.
The James may crash was the most horrifying
No shit
I think everyone feared the worst for a moment
I get a bit worried, seeing as theses guys are 62 and 59 and 52 respectively...I love what they do and they love what they do but I just wonder how much longer they have left in the tank before saying "this is it..."

It was fantastic

His crash was every for me, I knew nothing about the episode(intentionally) other than that he crashed his evo
I loved it
He wasn't even really injured. He was very very lucky
@@oldskoolraver1079 If he'd crashed head on it would've been much worse.
Actually, they do show it in the intro for a brief second 😅
"Speed kills. It doesnt. Suddenly becoming stationary. That's what gets you." - Jeremy Clarkson
Nailed it. I can imagine Jeremy saying that lol!
@@Romulan2469He did, on Top Gear.
As big a Subaru guy as I am, I have a new-found respect for the Evo thanks to this special. It crashed twice, the second time in icy water, and it was resurrected both times for James to finish the challenge.
This was easily the best Grand Tour Special since Mongolia.

Well done for not dying, best remark ever said after a Crash .
Can’t imagine how scary it would’ve been for Hammond to just hear “big one” over the radio
And it not to be in reference of him.
Even hammond was surprised that james was speeding that fast
Why was he going so fast?
@@robertfinch1658probably tired of being captain slow

james got sick of being captain slow but got over it real quick
Hahaha too soon 🤣
Me and 2 year old daughter was watching this together. When James may crashed I was in shock and my daughter cried in panic about it. James may you legend
When he asked if the car was bad and then lamented having to drive the Volvo, We knew he was gonna be Ok.
James May really looks like he should be in a movie...seriously!
Just look at him!
The names May... JAMES May!

Our three favorite mates out in the snow.
I swear that james may crash scared tf out of me 😢 stay safe u three
These guys have helped the most each other in a very long time
The nonsensical presence of mind to come out with "I'm in the Volvo" after what had just happened sums up everything that is so great about James May
So happy to see this new episode. Personally wasn't a fan of the last couple and I feel like they've gone back to what they are good at. Keeping it simple, focussing on the brilliant cars and being entertaining
Nice to see the new episode !
I feel the same
I don't think they needed to take as many risks, but other than that yes this was a pretty good one.
This feels like a return to the classic Top Gear Specials, more than The Grand Tour; and I love it.
This episode was nuts even by top gear standards, just the tunnel race was enough but the ski-houses were just complete chaos
Am i weird for thinking that the most amazing part of this was Hammond finding amazing solutions to the troubles they had?
Hammond's hero mode: activated 🦸♂️
@@thegrandtour The plan to get Cpt Slow out of the ice and save the Evo from drowning forever was superb.
Seeing James crash into that tunnel had me terrified. I was praying for him to make a full recovery. Then to see him crash into the ice, that had me even more worried.
Best grand tour episode so far. Well done team 👍
What was your favourite moment from A Scandi Flick? 🤔
EPIC !!!! THE BEST ONE YET I loved this episode. So Glad May who took a beating on this one is ok. Cheers mates!
"How are you feeling?"
"Bit shit"
Lmao.
In all seriousness, that tunnel part shows that these guys are willing to go trough all kind kinds crazy stuff just to make quality content. No words can describe my respect for them.
You guys keep making the world a bit better place, even if it means crashing an Evo every now and then! :)
I cry when I see James crash everytime now (That could of ended worse and that is why). I am amazed at how they saved the evo from going into the ice.
The fact that there's an 11 minute compilation says alot about these guys
They never claimed to be professionals, I believe that's what makes the show so great! You know they're going to cock it up, just don't know how! I am truly impressed with Hammonds winching knowledge..lol
Has anyone from The Grand Tour ever thought of doing special on the British Canal Network?
Because watching Clarkson operate locks and being forced to travel at 4 mph would be absolutely hilarious.
They did an amphibious / hover van back on Top Gear that they took through some canals.
I laughed so hard at Hammond trying to go up with the ski lift. I cried of laughter. Then Jeremy trying to tow his shelter going back and forth. That was hilarious as well. When James is on his car, Hammond tell him don't go anywhere. He's like "where am I going to go?
When you think that this trio can't be any crazier....
Had an absolute blast with this special, best one since Burma can’t wait till Eurocrash
I still can't get over that James crashed so hard and Richard didn't crash the Subaru
we need so much more of these three buffoons!.....absolute class!!! :))))))))
I verry rarely leave a reply to something but after watching you guys for many years i have to say this was one of my favourites maybe a factor that these are the kind of cars i grew up loving but all round a great episode please make more frequent episodes again!
I about pissed my pants when Hammond went skiing thanks to Clarkson giving him a little helping hand.
Man I wish Hammond could get a show where he goes off roading for real and showcases his skills!
What a different show the great escapists would have been if him and TB went to a few of those extreme off roading competitions
Such a bittersweet episode. I always wished they would use a Evo as a hero car. Unfortunately, the one time captain slow crashes, it had to be the Mitsubishi.
You keep a high level further,great episode,waiting for another greeting from Poland!
Just finished watching season 5 brilliant again 👏👏👏👏🏴
hey, is the season 5 only one episode ????
It hurts on the back of my back, classic May.
I love how they were genuinely worried about James when he got hit, they are really great coulleges and group of friends
Holy crap that tunnel looks so fun and terrifying at the same time
That looked like a videogame section,
one where I'd fatally fail it over & over. !😬!
outside of the big crash they look like they are genuinely enjoying their time
james in the ambulance "im in a volvo"
I wonder if James May enjoyed going full throttle in the Evo a little too much in that tunnel.
Dis is the best jobb in the world tu have....
The one legged skier! Are you kidding me??? I lost it when I seen Capt.Slow have a one legged man LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
"I was gonna go for a coffee"😂
4:41 The look on Clarkson's face as he realises James isn't going to stop in time
James May after getting fit during the lockdown :
4:28 ' I am a driving God! '
Hammond's " well done for not dying".
Look what we've done!? " Weeee???" hahahaha perfect accent love it
I can crash when i like, this is my idea of heaven
-Richard Hammond
hahaha
This whole thing is like the top gear caravan challenge but in snow
James getting the 1 legged skier 😂
That poor Evo is such a champ!
1:53 "It's the ONE thing they've got- Snow, and a notice board!" RIP Notice Board. 🤣
In summary, James had a rough holiday and turned into Richard Hammond for a few days 😳
My God James hit hard. Did anyone else notice that the EVO was equipped with rather aggressive studded tires ? These are indeed needed in Icy conditions for traction. But on concrete , they did quite the opposite. Think of your Cat or Dog trying to run on a hard wood floor. Bim lives to see another day. And that is a very good thing.😀
Bloody Hell James you hit that wall hard
Clarkson is The Man. Hammond is a smaller man and James is an average man. Nice.
The yellow Evo and James May were got all the highlights, at the bad way
0:13 oh boy the fuel prices
Fr
€ / liter...
I havent seen the whole EP but i only watched the trailer just james crash didnt look that serious but HOLY SHI* ill take that back
Hammond was rightly helpful this episode.
If you're watching a TopGear video and there's no background music when there normally is, expect trouble
All crashes were planned - except James' ... "Well done, for not dying".
4:41 Jim Lahey, local eccentric
That was awesome to see may send it but man I feel bad
Mays car was the best. It was beaten back into shape and it fought on.
I guess I missed the time when Hammond passed his jinx to May
Thnk you~really superb . ;)
Czuje sie jak bym budde oglądał 😅
You can see on Jeremy's face before James even hit the tunnel wall that it was going to be bad.
Crashes in order:
3:57 Crash 1
5:58 Crash 2
2:00 Crash 3
6:33 Crash 4
0:10 Crash 5
3:01 Crash 6
7:01 Crash 7
8:55 Crash 8
😈😈😈 on saying that , thanks for the content 😈😈😈
Fairplay to James, he’s a tough guy
this was a very good show!
I would choose the audi from the 3 cars. any day.
James’ crashed hurt me so much. First it was a huge crash, second evo is my dream car and it got destroyed 😢
OK, May's crash was actually horrifying... Hammond's guts must have frozen while hearing that "Big one; big one!...".
Surprising it wasn’t Hammond that had the crash in the evo
After seeing this episode and that Volvo I've developed a whole new attitude around road rage . Instead of getting angry at slow drivers I'm now going to pull up alongside them and try to guess the working HP left in their engine 🤣.
If you win the other driver has to give you an orange 🤣🤣🤣
We need a scandi flick remix
James May almost died like three times! I honestly can't see them doing such crazy stuff for much longer.
that Evo needs to be repaired given a medal and put in some museum
James may has that army tank through the city 😀😀😀😈😈😈, he's GoldenEye😀😀😈😈😈😉
4:43 he did half smacked his head against that window on the right and I hope James is alright because that’s a huge accident because that crash could have killed him as well as Hammond years before
James scared the absolute shit out of me. Twice.

4:03 James May awesome crash.
He REALLY got proper hurt, and drove a car faster than Hammond.
You doing a crash compulation just after doing a james may crashes vud?
Glad he’s okay wow that was a naughty one. 😲
I don’t know if this crash at 09:10 was staged. If not and the car would have sunk, it was potentially super dangerous.
I hope there will be more episodes on prime video than just 1 episode from the new season. And hope it never stops
