Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May will host Top Gear for at least 3 more years.
Posted on Sep 30, 2012 in News | 4 comments
Our favourite trio have signed a new three-year contract with BBC2 to continue hosting Top Gear. Bit of a relief really – as the three hosts are arguably the reason why the show has been so successful. The popularity of Top Gear around the world means Jeremy and Andy Wilman have benefited hugely, at a time when other BBC talent pay has been reduced due to cuts in the licence fee.
A BBC Worldwide spokesman said: “BBC Worldwide has agreed new commercial deals with Jeremy, James, Richard and Andy to secure Top Gear’s international future for another three years. This agreement secures the commercial future of Top Gear without using a penny of licence fee money and allows us to continue to grow the brand around the world, reinvest in Top Gear and return profits to the BBC.”
Good news!

This makes me happy to hear! I always watch TopGear on BBCA and some times almost piss myself laughing at some of the stuff that’s done and said on the show. Jeremy, Richard, and James are a modern day version of the 3 musketeers (just more funny).
PS.
Sorry Tanner, Adam, and Rutledge but the US TopGear is nothing compaired to the UK TopGear.
I agree 100%!!!
There’s a us top gear ??? Why?
they make the top gear, they are top gear. Best car, factual and entertaing show ever, its amazing how they have moved it from being just a “car” show, to a lifestyle and great show.
