Former Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have signed up to present a new show on Amazon's streaming video service.




The trio will front three series of a new motoring programme for Amazon Prime, with the first season to be made available worldwide in 2016.

The move follows their departure from the hit BBC Two show earlier this year.

Clarkson's contract was not renewed following an "unprovoked physical attack" on a Top Gear producer.

His co-hosts then followed him in leaving the show.

They will now make the unnamed new programme with former Top Gear executive producer Andy Wilman, who also quit the BBC following the "fracas".



In a statement from Amazon, Clarkson said: "I feel like I've climbed out of a biplane and into a spaceship."

Hammond said: "Amazon? Oh yes. I have already been there. I got bitten by a bullet ant." And May added: "We have become part of the new age of smart TV. Ironic, isn't it?"

Amazon Prime Video EU vice-president Jay Marine said: "Customers told us they wanted to see the team back on screen, and we are excited to make that happen.

"We can't wait to see what Jeremy, Richard, James and the team will create in what is sure to be one of the most globally anticipated shows of 2016."

damn ill have to sign up for amazon prime then ****

Amazon Prime isn't too bad - they have HBO shows on there that aren't on Netflix. I can't wait for the new show to start streaming, I loved Top Gear :)

Came here to post this, haha.

Amazon prime is good stuff. Free shipping on a lot of stuff. I easily save the membership fee in shipping costs and other discounts. Can't wait for this show to come out..

perfect. i'm already primed.

Heard rumors of formula 1 driver going on old show?

Yeah, between the video service, music service, and free 2-day (next day in some cases) shipping, it's a pretty good value.

This just makes it better.

Wow, nice. I was worried they'd be done

Jeremy Clarkson's new Amazon Top Gear-style show could be called Gear Knobs

The slightly cheeky new name was trademarked by Clarkson's lawyers

Cheeky, indeed. :lol:

Those guys made Top Gear what it was.

They're the real value, so for them to leave Top Gear only just gives the middle finger to BBC.

really its Clarkson that made Top Gear.. thats why the other 2 left after he got kicked out... they knew it'd die if they just replaced him with a different host
