James May explains why TV partnership with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond had to end This year marked the end of an era for ‘Top Gear’ and ‘Grand Tour’ stars.
The broadcaster, who also owns a farm and a country pub, said the trio had “thought long and hard about how we should end our 22-year partnership, but in the end we just went to the end of the alphabet” and selected Zimbabwe as a place to set the special.
Earlier this year, the trio, who first started working together on BBC’s Top Gear in 2002 before moving over to Amazon for Prime Video series The Grand Tour, appeared for the final time together on screen.

Clarkson previously said that the special would be the last time he will “talk about cars on television” as he is “too old and fat to get into the cars that I like and not interested in driving those I don’t”.
