TV SHOW producers have apologised to residents of a Powys village after farmland was left littered with debris of smashed up cars following filming. The Grand Tour – which stars former Top Gear icons Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May – spent time on location in Mid Wales last month. The trio were spotted across Brecon and Radnorshire throughout the final week of April; they stayed at the Metropole Hotel in Llandrindod Wells while footage also appeared on social media of 51-year-old Hammond repeatedly ramming a maroon Renault people carrier into a Citroen Saxo as he tried to manoeuvre into a tight parking spot on a quiet residential street in Crickhowell.
It looked like a serious bout of road rage, before Hammond emerged from the parked vehicle and calmly walked off, trailed by a TV crew – as well as several residents filming on their mobile phones. But the show, now in its fourth season on Amazon Prime Video, courted anger when a resident in Beulah posted a video on Twitter on April 26 showing smashed up pieces of bumper, wing mirrors and lights that had seemingly wilfully been left strewn around a field near the village, between Builth Wells and Llanwrtyd Wells. Mark Easthope, known as the Blue Jumper Man on Twitter, posted the footage, which he discovered while out walking on Friday, April 23.
