James May rules out reunion with Clarkson and Hammond

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 10:19 · Archive

James May has said a reunion with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond is 'difficult' as the three pursue separate ventures.

James May has cast doubt on a future professional reunion with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. Speaking to LBC, the 63-year-old said there are no plans to work together again more than two years after The Grand Tour concluded in 2024. He described it as 'slightly difficult' to 'envisage' another project involving all three presenters, noting they are all 'knocking on a bit'. May added: 'You should never say never, should you, because then somebody will dig it up and hold it against you, but there is nothing planned.'

Since The Grand Tour ended, the three presenters have pursued separate ventures. Jeremy Clarkson has focused on his hugely successful Clarkson's Farm, whilst Richard Hammond has launched new projects with Discovery. May has thrown himself into a range of business and media ventures of his own.

One of May's best-known projects is The Royal Oak, a village pub in Swallowcliffe, Wiltshire, where he has been a director and co-owner since 2020. He has warned that running a pub is far from easy in the current climate. He is also behind James Gin, an award-winning gin business he launched with distiller Hugh Anderson. The gin company's concept emerged from his involvement with the village pub and his desire to help secure its future.
