James May won't return to Top Gear without Jeremy Clarkson
May said that he and Hammond appearing alongside a "surrogate Jeremy" would be "forced" and "lame".

"Me and Hammond with a surrogate Jeremy is a non-starter, it just wouldn't work. That would be lame, or 'awks' as young people say," he explained.

"It has to be the three of us. You can't just put a surrogate Jeremy in and expect it to carry on. It would be forced. I don't believe the BBC would be stupid enough to try that." For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Exec producer Andy Willman has just resigned from the BBC, so maybe there is a new program being developed for the 3 amigos..?

More likely that AW was asked to be part of something he wasn't happy with. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

^ think you're being a little unfair.

Top Gear was Clarkson's brainchild along with May and Hammond, I'm sure theyre all completely at a loss without it now as its been a significant part of all their lives for over a decade.

Clarkson seems to have had a really tough time recently if you cut through all the newspaper Censored , but I'm glad he's going to be back into making TV. Because he has a real talent for it, look at what Top Gear was before he reinvented it. Even fifth gear is crap because it doesn't have anyone with the nouse for entertainment like Clarkson and the others. Cheers, David
