Clarkson, Hammond & May dissolve their production house; Unlikely to work together again

They probably ran out of ideas to outdo their past adventures. None of them are getting any younger, so even matching that lunacy (forget beating it), must be taking a toll on them.

Thank you gentlemen for everything!

By the way, this news was doing rounds for a while, so can’t say I am surprised.

I didn’t know this. It will probably still be the TG tune for me!

Thanks for sharing

Here's to the orangutan, the hamster and captain slow, the greatest television trio.....in the world!

These three legends were the ones who got me this deep into automobiles in the first place. The trio coming back in The Grand Tour after all the Top Gear drama was such a relief, but now they're leaving? Sad times

Guys is there somewhere on the internet where I can permanently buy the trio's Top Gear series and access it from anywhere and watch it as and when I'm free?

Amazon has the grand tour series. But where to find the top gear series. Youtube has it in bits and pieces. Please suggest.

I have a bunch of the original TopGear episodes on my iPad. The BBC used to have them on iTunes for quite a while. Not sure how it works these days, but you would need a UK bank account or use a VPN or so.

Still enjoying some of these episodes!

. I don't know what will be missed more Clarkson's meme content or James' weird humour. The trio will always be the greatest automotive journalist of all time. All we have now is Clarkson's farm. I also heard that James May is starting a new historical travel show, we will have to wait and see if it's good.

My 12 year old son is so hooked onto the shows made by these guys so much so that we have seen all of the Grand tour episodes almost twice now.

Its a real shame that most of the original top gear episodes are not available in india. I had subscribed to the Discovery OTT platform so as to catch some episodes of top gear where the trio of Clarkson, Hammond and James may host the show. I think there were quite a bit of their episodes on discovery until last year or before, but now nothing. So its almost impossible to find these episodes. Im even surprised that BBC’s own streaming platform does not have the old Top gear episodes.
