Instead, the one-off episode will see James, Jeremy and Richard Hammond explore "the bizarre world of French car culture".

Despite the success the iconic trio have achieved since being back on our screens, James says he doesn't fancy making an appearance in Jeremy's other show, Clarkson's Farm.

During an exclusive interview with , James explained: "A few people have said, 'Oh, why don't you get James and Richard to come and do a few bits on the show?'

"I don't think he should do that, I don't think he wants to anyway. It's not that kind of show. I think it's his farm and it's his thing and that's good.

"If I was doing a film about my workshop, I wouldn't want those two in it going, 'Oh I've literally broken it'.

"I'd smack them over the head with a shovel and throw them out."

James did say he has watched a bit of Clarkson's Farm and found it "interesting", but ruled it wasn't really his cup of tea.

He added: "I don't want to do farming myself because I think that farming is just big gardening, and gardening is one of the things I don't do at home."

The synopsis for The Grand Tour: Carnage A Trois reads:  "On an epic road trip starting in the Welsh hills, they dish up a hair-raising mountain climb, bomb defusals, propeller-powered cars, helicopter stunts and the most thrilling race of their lives before reaching the English Channel for a jaw-dropping medieval climax.

Jeremy has said he particularly enjoyed making this series because the French police "don't care".
