Richard Hammond Discusses The End of Top Gear - Q&A

[@alexhaas9653]

Top Gear ended with series 22 in June 2015. But this year will mark the end of another era: The Grand Tour with its very last two episodes. I hope our three blokes will come up with something in the future. Doesn't matter what. I'd even watch them knitting together for an hour.

An hour? Wouldn’t settle for anything less than a day.

Listening to Richard talk about his father brought up some nice memories I had with my father as a child. When I was about 7 or 8 years old, coming home from church on Sunday he'd let me "drive" home. I'd sit on his lap and steer all the way home through the city and country roads. In fact I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't interested in cars before or after that. RIP Dad. And thanks for sharing Richard.

[@DystopianOverture]

The reason I got into watching TG was because as a kid in 2003 my dad was watching it and I joined him because I hanging out with my dad is always a blast. Me and him adore cars so it made sense it became our Sunday evening thing together.

[@rayne1213]

Top Gear ended when the dynamic trio left. My husband and I raised our daughters, 27, 22 and 20, watching these three. And we are so proud that our girls have developed a love of cars. This past Christmas our daughters got tools as gifts and loved it! They all attribute their desire to understand what's under the hood (bonnet) from watching you guys. They never once felt like they couldn't do anything when it came to working on their own cars. Thanks for helping us open our girls eyes to their own potential. You've been part of our family for the past few decades. (We still want to support Hammonds new endeavor. I hate that we can't watch his latest show. Please open it up to the us!)

Personally i have always found Jeremy to offer a father figure role to millions of kids and the shows ability to touch on real emotions is just not something anyone expected from a car show i will miss the show dearly but thankfully samsung tv plus offers TG on constant repeat 24 hours a day so they will never be to far away thankyou for the years of hard work, laughs, tears near death experiences and all round amazing content❤❤❤

The Grand Tour is basically at its end too and I would love to see one more Grand Tour/Top Gear final farewell. The team gets their favourite cars and without any shenanigans or setups just jump in and drive to their favourite places and favourite roads. 3x 1.5-2hr episodes where each one gets a turn leading the way to their favourite spots anywhere in the world and just having fun with their normal banter while reminiscing about their favourite times on the show over the years. Top Gear is an iconic TV show that became The Grand Tour, the name changed but the spirit of it never did.

Top gear was never just a show about cars. It was a show about 3 friends who loved cars and share that love with the rest of the world. Unfortunately, when the three friends leave the show, the relationship they built with the audience left with them. It was never the same again regardless of who else took their place. Its hard to replace The Baboon, The American and Captain Slowly. It was just a matter of time before the show had to be put out of its misery. Long live the three Amigos!

Top gear objectively ended when they fired Clarkson. After that, no one watched it. We all know this

Ah, they were waiting for an excuse. If Jeremy started wearing dresses, May started wheeling around in a wheelchair, and if Hammond got a dark tan, the firing never would have happened.

[@JonathanEzor]

Coincidentally enough, earlier this morning I was watching the first-ever episodes of Wheeler Dealers on MotorTrend+, starring a very much younger Mike Brewer and Edd China. If anything, Brewer would probably have been considered for the Jason Dawes role on the revamped Top Gear, so it's not Richard but James who (indirectly) might owe his Top Gear gig to Mike Brewer.

[@TheHutchy01]

Yeah, it feels more like they vetoed James, Mike said no, so they got Jason.

[@SB-ed4gz]

When I was in high school in Japan, I watched lots of Top Gear episodes with the legendary trio on KZbin. It was one of the ways to learn English, but I also learned to love cars.

If one had left of their own accord then it might've worked if they'd found a suitable replacement but not with all three going at once. That was it, game over.

[@SpareSomeChange8080]

I think they were doomed when they decided to carry on the "Top Gear" name; it's some mighty big shoes to fill. The BBC should have started a new show, with new presenters, with new ideas, and a new show format. The moment the trio left was the time to end it, close the book and say "wasn't this such an brilliant show?" then sell the box set with all seasons, or all specials with directors cuts & extra scenes.

I cry every time I think of you! Some things should never end! Be happy!

Hammond is such a nice guy, so chilled out and natural with how he interacts with people

Richard seems to choose being a gentleman. I love how he spun that story about Mike Brewer from Wheeler Dealers on its head to go out of his way to say something kind about him. Personally, while I enjoy Wheeler Dealers sometimes, our family never missed an episode of Top Gear (with Hammond, May, and Clarkson). I can’t see Mike carrying off the role the way Richard did, but then I can’t see anyone else in place of any of the dynamic trio. That was an epic chapter in automotive history. In retrospect, the later shows had a sense of a large heavy wheel picking up speed as it prepares for a massive impact. The end was inevitable but what a ride!

Seaside town - Go to Pembrokeshire coast and do the full coast route! Telpyn, Amroth, Saundersfoot. Up to Narberth Town for food. Down to Tenby, across to Manobier, freshwater East then freshwater west. Up to Haverfordwest and into Nolton Haven beach (Absolute hidden Gem). Over to Marloes and follow the coast all the way to Fishguard before finishing in Aberwystwyth.

My 5 and 7 year old nephews absolutely love old top gear episodes and the grand tour. We watch them together all the time

Things have and will come along to try and recreate Top Gear but it will never work. It was 3 perfect hosts coming together to make a perfect show. Some of the greatest entertainment ever filmed. My favorite show of all time! Love you guys!

Those three lads are the best tv ever offered :)
