Jeremy Clarkson explains why he ended TV partnership with Richard Hammond and James May

Jeremy Clarkson has explained why he has ended his partnership with Richard Hammond and James May.

The trio first started working together on BBC’s Top Gear in 2002 and moved over to Amazon for Prime Video series The Grand Tour, which premiered in 2021.

However, a forthcoming special of the car show, titled One for the Road, will serve as a swansong for the trio’s onscreen partnership – and Clarkson, who is currently enjoying the biggest success of his career with Clarkson’s Farm, has reflected on why he decided to cut professional ties with both Hammond and May.

  1. The fact that they stood by him after his childish tantrum to save his career but he now leaves because he has something successful by himself just shows what a shallow, narcissistic rat he is. I've never liked him and now like him even less.

  2. Hope they don't go down the Black ,Broadcasting , Corporation, route, and force ethical presenters that have no personality on us because i won't watch as many are sick of mediocre . No one can replace them, so just leave it and finish on a high .Thanks, you three for years of good fun

  3. Grand Tour did not debut in 2021. And Clarkson’s Farm is good, but not nearly as successful as Top Gear at it’s peak. Did a 15 year old make this video?

  4. They didn’t end anything. Amazon decided the bad publicity along with the pathetic returns on a high cost program watched mainly by boomers was not worth it plus the presenters were bigots lol. Good riddance to the drink driving decaying mammals

  5. Jeremy has more health problems than he wants to publicly admit, he's drank and smoked heavily for nearly 50 years. James and Richard could probably continue doing this for another 10 years, but they wouldn't want to without Jeremy.
