James May’s brutal response on reunion with Clarkson and Hammond
The trio presented BBC’s Top Gear as well as The Grand Tour on Prime Video with Richard Hammond for 22 years.
After a final special in Zimbabwe and Botswana, it looked like the end for Clarkson, May and Hammond as a trio professionally.
Yet news recently broke of a new show called The Not Very Grand Tour scheduled to release in April.

This has now been expanded on by Prime Video, who confirmed that there will be four new retrospective episodes.
The first special, The Not Very Grand Tour: The Power and the Glory, launched worldwide last Friday.
James May spoke to Al Arabiya News presenter Tom Burges Watson about the episodes and brutally shot down talks of a full reunion or comeback.
“Well, there’s nothing wrong with the comeback, but there comes a point where you have to draw a line under it,” he said.

“And as we used to say, land it safely rather than crash it. We’ve exhausted our take on the subject.
“It’s probably time for a more modern one and we’re already pretty old. So if we did a comeback in 20 years time, it would be in bath chairs, and I think it would be rather unseemly.
“I really don’t see it happening.”
He previously confirmed that Mr Clarkson was not involved in the new episodes apart from in archive footage only, stating that he was probably “too busy” to be involved.
