The Great Escapists Updates: The Great Escapists has just landed an explosive new teaser for the original Amazon Prime Video, and it looks like Richard Hammond and Tory Belleci have contrasting thoughts about how not to be castaways.
Later this month, the unusually upbeat survival sequence is set to erupt on our screens and follows the couple as they struggle to invent themselves from a desert island using only their wits and scrap shipwreck to either create their way out or draw a rescue.
Unsurprisingly, it looks like the focus of Hammond is the engine variety. The Grand Tour star seems to be constructing a vehicle from scratch, but at this point, it is unknown if it could help them get off the island or motivate a rescue. On the other hand, Belleci lives up to his status as a MythBuster, and yet is more worried about messing it up spectacularly.
About the Production:
The duo also tends to build a friendly competition that is sure to divert them from the engineering problems at hand and could hold them longer than planned on the island, not that they seem too concerned about it.
From Friday 29th January, The Wonderful Escapists will be available for viewing on Amazon Prime Video. For a 30-day free trial, sign up for Amazon Prime for £7.99 a month, or read our guide to the best Amazon Prime shows and the best Amazon Prime movies.

About The Great Escapists:
There was too much opportunity for this show to draw on past formats such as Scrapheap Challenge, Mythbusters, Bear Grylls, Top Gear, The Grand Tour, etc.
Both Hammond and Tory are excellent presenters and the location is stunning, but the material is so badly edited that it looks like a trainee has swept all the clippings from the floor and spliced them in the dark together.
The sequencing makes no sense, there are scenes that explicitly point to previous ones that have not been seen yet, and what the heck is the part of interrogators recounting the story? Were they 20% short on content and got as intoxicated as possible to come up with a filler with this idea?
