Jeremy Clarkson ’s working relationship with Richard Hammond and James May appears to be officially over. The TV star is currently enjoying the biggest success of his career with Clarkson’s Farm , a series airing on Amazon’s subscription service Prime Video that documents his attempts to run the 1000-acre farm he purchased in 2008. Since premiering in 2021, Clarkson has extended his business empire by purchasing a Cotswolds pub for £1m – something he is developing a brand new series about, which will no doubt include the grim discovery he made earlier this week .
But those hoping Clarkson’s Farm was a temporary stopgap in between new seasons of The Grand Tour will be left disappointed following the dissolvement of the production company co-owned by Clarkson, Hammond and May. MailOnline reports that, on Thursday (11 July), the presenters approved the shut down of W Chump and Sons, which produced The Grand Tour , with government agency Companies House. As part of the company’s dissolution, the trio declared solvency and have appointed a liquidator to “wind up” their business.
This development appears to confirm hints that the show’s forthcoming special, which was filmed in Zimbabwe, will be the last time the trio will work together. The Independent has contacted Clarkson, Hammond and May for comment. Clarkson and Hammond hosted Top Gear ’s first series in 2002 alongside Jason Dawe, with May replacing the latter in series two.
The trio’s chemistry and on-s.
