Hammond and May to leave Top Gear?

[Test:Tube:Baby]

I really hope they don't leave

They're just as big a part of Top Gear as Jeremy is. I bet a lot of viewers wouldn't watch it if it was just Clarkson on his own.

Maybe this will also mean they share the test drives more evenly? It seems that everytime a big, expensive supercar comes out it's always Jeremy who gets to drive it and the other 2 are landed with whatever's left over.

Without them, it sucks.

In the past Hammonds used to do car tests too, I think he's starting to do them again this series (last series they were recorded whilst Hammonds was recovering from his crash, I believe).

Either way though, they should all stay, the banter they make with each other is genius.

True, but James and Richard have never been quite as involved in the show as Jeremy.

I think they should all be treated as equals in the show. Jeremy always gets the best jobs to do while James and Richard sort of act as followers.

I'd love to see James do more cos he's hilarious

[--ss--]

Just wouldn't be the same.

It wouldn't be the same without them

[Coldplay]

To be fair, Jeremy Clarkson has been there since the show started, he's been there in the early days before Hammond and May were even there, so he does deserve more recognition.

I don't think they will leave.

1) Its the biggest car show in UK
2) No one would watch it if they all wasn't in it

BBC would then loose viewers at the time of the show.

So I reckon BBC will up there pay

It wouldn't be the same without:

Clarkson - Wanting to impress on the tasks
Hammond - Wanting to be crazy on the tasks
May - Wants to be original therefore fails on the tasks

May is funny because of his wierdness and his difference from the others

[Smiddy]

May is funny just because he's so old-fashioned and supposedly out of touch with the modern world.
Hammonds is funny cos he always argues with Clarkson
And Clarkson is funny cos he says the stupidest of things.

my two cents.
