Former Top Gear presenters Clarkson, Hammond and May have released their first promotional video for their new live shows.
The boys are officially back filming again, and they’ve released their first new footage footage since the Clarkson fracas. The short video which you can see below is a promotional clip for the trio’s Clarkson, Hammond and May Live stadium tour, and the show now has its own Youtube account. They’ve also started the hashtag ‘#BackOnTheRoad’ which you can follow as the boys travel around the world presenting their live show.
Initially it was thought that the live shows, previously held under the ‘Top Gear’ banner would not go ahead following the Clarkson incident. However, things will go ahead as normal, but under the new ‘Clarkson, Hammond and May Live’ name.
Check out the first promotional video below featuring Clarkson and Hammond… and James May’s piano….
As for the remaining filmed Top Gear episodes from season 22 that are yet to be shown, they’re expected to air later this year during the European summer. BBC executives have made it clear they intend to show the final episodes, especially given how high the ratings would be with the hype that the Clarkson controversy has caused.

Former TopGear hosts Clarkson, Hammond and May have held a secret meeting with Top Gear producer Andy Wilman who quit yesterday.
The Top Gear lads Clarkson, Hammond and May have been spotted together for the first time since the Clarkson fracas along with Top Gear producer Andy Wilman.
Wilman, a longtime friend of Clarkson’s, officially resigned from his position as producer at Top Gear yesterday, sparking rumours that they may be planning a rival show to the original Top Gear which is set to be reinvented for 2016.
James May also officially resigned from the BBC last week, leaving only Hammond with a formal contract with the broadcaster. However, given the secret meeting held with the three presenters and producer Andy Wilman, it’s expected Hammond will follow his co-presenters move away from the BBC. At this stage all signs point towards the group starting their own motoring show in a similar structure to the Top Gear that we know and love only under a different name obviously. More details will likely come to the surface in the coming months.

Unseen footage of the final Top Gear episode ever has been released following the sacking of Jeremy Clarkson by the BBC.
Fans of Top Gear haven’t been taking the news of Jeremy Clarkson’s sacking lightly. They haven’t gone completely insane like fans of One Direction member Zayne who quit the band on the same day of Clarkson’s sacking. Those fans have been taking sick days on the grounds of ‘compassion’ and even self-harming in some cases, which is a bit pathetic.
Top Gear fans have been much more reasonable. The end of the show as we know it is a great tragedy and there has been some general grieving on social media, but an inside look at what was to be the final ever episode of Top Gear should serve as a comfortable shoulder to sob on… It’s only a short clip about 1 minute in length but it is at least some new unseen footage that will be more than welcomed after having zero new Top Gear content for the last two weeks.
Check out the video below.

British news reports that Jeremy Clarkson will be sacked from his position on Top Gear with an official BBC announcement pending.
The BBC is expected to announce the findings of its investigation into the fracas involving Clarkson and a junior Top Gear producer today, revealing the fate of Clarkson and Top Gear as we know it.
The Daily Telegraph is claiming to have inside information, reporting that the decision to sack Clarkson has been made but Top Gear will continue with a replacement host.
54 year old Clarkson was on his final warning before getting involved in a physical altercation with Irish producer Oisin Tymon who was hospitalised following the incident.
The Daily Telegraph reports; ‘it is understood a report into the so-called ‘fracas’ at a North Yorkshire hotel concluded that [the] presenter spent 20 minutes verbally abusing producer Oisin Tymon, before launching a 30 second physical assault on him.’
It’s believed the BBC finds itself with no choice but to end Clarkson’s career as presenter of Top Gear.
Reports are suggesting that the BBC hopes to replace Clarkson with radio host and massive petrol head Chris Evans – who has an epic collection of Ferraris including a 250 GTO worth £12 million.
Previously Clarkson’s co-presenter’s Richard Hammond and James May refused to film the show without him. Whether they continue with the show or follow Clarkson into other ventures is unknown at this point.
An official announcement regarding the future of Top Gear and Clarkson is expected to come from BBC Director General Lord Hall in the coming hours.

The BBC has reportedly prepared terms for Jeremy Clarkson’s return to Top Gear, though he’s unlikely to agree to them.
Apparently the BBC has drawn up terms which will see Clarkson reinstated as co-presenter of Top Gear, along with May and Hammond who refuse to film the show without the controversial Clarkson.
However, Clarkson’s return is entirely dependant on him agreeing on those terms, which is unlikely.
A report from the Daily Mail suggests that the BBC want an executive to be put in place as a ‘minder’ for Clarkson – basically a baby sitter who will make sure he doesn’t do anything else that may cause controversy.
A source inside the BBC said “I think that people do see a way to resolve this, and that is by putting someone strong in to manage the show and manage Clarkson. He is a brilliant broadcaster, everyone can see that.”
After a petition to reinstate Clarkson received almost one million signatures, it is believed BBC executives felt more inclined to resolve the problem rather than fire the presenter outright.
Meanwhile the BBC has released a rather aloof official statement regarding the Clarkson incident which said:
“Following last week’s suspension of Jeremy Clarkson, Ken MacQuarrie is now considering the evidence and will report to the Director-General on his findings next week.
“Once this has been considered, we will set out any further steps. The BBC will not be offering further commentary until then.”
