shame if he's going because the 3 of them work well on TG.

I think James May can be quite funny at times

he definitely brings something different to the show. they wouldn't have done that flying feature against the bugati if it wasnt for him. and pmsl at him doing all the checks on the plane and hammond climbing the walls!!

anyway it would be boring if they just had 3 clarksons doing it!

Didn't think you could work for BBC and ITV. Thought you were contracted for one or the other

He has been working for Sky for months so wouldnt read anything into it. Jonathan Ross works for both ITV and BBC.

You can work on Sky progs, as they're not terrestrial. What does Jonathan Ross do on ITV again

Wankers, did find out he is doing a program for the BBC searching for the holy grail later this year tho


Richard Hammond's Search For The Holy Grail


Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond grew up on stories of knights and the Holy Grail.
Now he is embarking upon a 5,000-mile journey to find something that may not exist.
It is a story that has been 2,000 years in the making – but he has just two weeks to find the Holy Grail.
From the Aegean to the Atlantic, Richard's route takes him to some of the most intriguing places in Europe.
It is a journey littered with extraordinary stories: Arthurian legends, Templars, secret treasures and codes.
For centuries, the Grail has haunted the imagination with its conundrums and legends. Does the Grail exist? And if it does, what and where is it?
