Agree ..... We were there having our own discussion, I looked over, and Clarkson had joined us in our discussion.

Hammond ..... What a laugh, he was so up for a joke.

May ..... Kept disappearing and didn't seem interested in talking to anyone.

Why? Clarkson left before, and then came back.

It's Clarksons show really, so I'd be surprised of it was him.

Someone on here reckons he has it on good authority that Clarkson is quitting, on other forums it's rumored to be Hammond with a possible Sky motoring show of his own being the reason.

I can see him becoming tired of it. Once the passion goes the show would go downhill quick, so maybe he's making a decision to quit whilst on top. Let's face it, he doesn't need the money.

Can someone please explain this to me ?

How does James May get any work at all never mind work on television ? The bloke is bland, his image is bland and he makes an eggy fart smell interesting and very appealing.

He has a subtle but incisive humour and if let loose would easily outwit Clarkson. I've always liked him, and prefer to read his column in TG magazine each month than JC's. Combined with RH's effervescent giddyness and JC's bumbling faux arrogance they really are a dream team for a blokes telly program. It will be a shame when they split or it all ends

May's the best thing on TG.

Understated, and with greater intellect than the other 2 combined.

Hammond is by the weakest of the 3. An annoying little idiot who has little to offer IMO.

Be a shame to split up what is a good balance, the show will be poorer without any one of them.

Lol I was going to say the same thing, looks like his mid life crisis has kicked in early.

I find Hammond extremely annoying in a Davina McCall type way, irritating little sh*t's the pair of them, May and Clarkson are witty whereas I find Hammond thinks he's funny, maybe his script writer isn't as hot as May and Clarksons

It doesn't matter if it is May. May's excellent on TG, but equally watchable on his other stuff he does. Him and Oz in that camper van is classic TV. It would be a shame to lose May purely for the comedy aspect..he's just the straight man for JC & RH's gags & stunts.

Hammond's just there so bloke's wives have something to interest them while they endure Top Gear.

My source is within the BBC and reckon it's Clarkson. There is also the possiblity that he is playing chicken with BBC bosses to get the big payday.

You have a point there, Pete.


Let Hammond go, he's much more suited at presenting This Morning!

I really enjoyed watching May.... as others have said his wine show is a great watch and I really enjoy watching him on TG.... as Corradoboy stated, if he was allowed to cut loose, I am sure he would easily outwit JC.

Hammond isn't looking too well either to be honest

I think you're about right with that suggestion Pete. It doesn't matter which one is your fav; it is the interaction between them that has made the show so watchable. Clarkson doesn't have much else to go to to be honest. He's had his forays into other aspects of TV and only his TG fanbase has really followed him (even he jokes that he had to come crawling back to TG as he made a right **** up of the other stuff )

Hammond and May would be a little less agressive with their pay negotiations, as they have a much better deal on TG than either of them have had before and they aren't the icon that Jezza is (like him or loathe him).

I hope they all stay; it's a great show that I very much look forward to!
