News of the end of the collaboration of the famous team of TV stars, presenters and car enthusiasts appeared at the end of last year, now comes their confirmation. At least that’s what the British newspaper The Daily Mail claims.
Clarkson, Hammond and May started together in 2003 to present the motoring show Top Gear, which mainly thanks to them gained huge popularity all over the world.
But in 2015, Clarkson had to leave Top Gear following punching a producer over an argument regarding the unavailability of hot food during filming. Hammond and May also volunteered to follow Jeremy, as did producer Andy Wilman, another key figure in the show’s successful format.

We will miss this trio of fools on our screens…
The successful team then signed with Amazon, for which they created the show The Grand Tour, available on the Prime Video platform. In addition, each of the three stars also created their own shows for the American company, for example, Jeremy came up with a popular show regarding his own farm, James filmed entertaining travelogues from Japan and Italy, and Richard devoted himself to restoring classic cars.
In February of this year, the Sand Job episode, which should be the penultimate episode of The Grand Tour, premiered. The farewell to the show will probably be represented by an episode taking place in Zimbabwe, the filming of which took place last year.
We don’t know the publication date yet.

However, the end of working together does not mean that the TV stars are going to retire. On the contrary, all three will certainly embark on new projects. It is clear from Clarkson that he will continue filming the popular show regarding his farming – Clarkson’s Farm – for Prime Video. What Hammond and May will come up with is not yet clear.
And by the way, there is also speculation that the breakup of the trio will not simultaneously mean the end of The Grand Tour. Prime Video is reportedly considering continuing it with new guides. So we’ll see.
