Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are heading back to the small screen.

The trio kicked off filming the first episode of their new motoring show just outside of Johannesburg and Southern Lighting Solutions was proud to be a part of it.

At the invitation of Panalux South Africa, we were delighted to join them to supply specialised lighting for the debut of The Grand Tour, which was filmed this past weekend.

Although a lot of the specifics of the show have been shrouded in secrecy, the team did take the time to share a few snapshots of their debut on Twitter:

“Some people came to see our first ever Grand Tour show today. God, I love Johannesburg.” – Jeremy Clarkson.

“The work simply never stops on The Grand Tour” – Jeremy Clarkson

“So, today we opened our new office. In South Africa this week. Next week … ?” – Richard Hammond.

Despite the challenging timeframe, large amount of equipment required, as well as the remote location, this amazing show went off without a hitch. This proves once again that Southern Lighting Solutions is your go-to lighting specialist which can assist with YOUR production.
