Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have made a shock return to the BBC with Top Gear.
The trio worked on the BBC motoring show as well as Prime Video’s The Grand Tour for over two decades together.
Presenting both shows ensured their immortality in pop culture with a final special released last year featuring a trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana.
Things had ended on a sour note with the BBC as the trio departed Top Gear in 2015 after Mr Clarkson punched producer Oisin Tymon.
The BBC chose not to renew the 65-year-old’s contract leaving the trio to move onto pastures new with Amazon.
Yet in a slightly shocking turn, the trio will appear on the BBC via Top Gear this weekend, which has excited fans.
A rebroadcasting of the original Botswana special from 2007 will be shown at 8pm on Sunday, May 11, on BBC Two.
James May recently spoke out on Mr Clarkson’s sacking from Top Gear in a chat with The Telegraph.
“I thought it was very unfortunate and I don’t actually think our Top Gear had to end because of it,” he said.
“I think it could have been patched up and put down to a bit of high stress and flightiness, to be honest. It happened.
“It’s regrettable and it’s unfortunate, but it didn’t need to lead to the collapse of something very successful.
“Maybe these things are ordained and it was time for us to move on. We had been doing it by then for a decade, I think, more. And I never imagined it would last as long.
“I went into it from magazine journalism and I thought it would be a good laugh probably for a couple of years.”
