It’s official!
Jeremy, Richard and James have announced a three year deal for a “yet to be named” car show for Amazon Prime – starting 2016. Not only the trio but executive producer Andy Wilman have signed on with Amazon. This move is brilliant as it allowed the boys to weasel out of the BBC terms that prevented them from creating a rival car show for a UK broadcaster.
Well done boys, we can’t wait!
In a statement from Amazon, Clarkson said: “I feel like I’ve climbed out of a biplane and into a spaceship.”
Hammond said: “Amazon? Oh yes. I have already been there. I got bitten by a bullet ant.” And May added: “We have become part of the new age of smart TV. Ironic, isn’t it?”
Amazon Prime Video EU vice-president Jay Marine said: “Customers told us they wanted to see the team back on screen, and we are excited to make that happen. We can’t wait to see what Jeremy, Richard, James and the team will create in what is sure to be one of the most globally anticipated shows of 2016.”
Mr Marine said “Our approach is to give programme makers creative freedom to be innovative and make the shows they want to make. This is just the start, you should expect to see more world-leading talent and the biggest shows on Prime Video.”
Maybe it’s time to get Amazon Prime? 🙂

Hey Paul, you will be posting videos of the new amazon show right?
Yep!
Hello Paul! I would like to thank you for all the effort into this site! It really helped me watch Top Gear! However, I would like to suggest a feature that would allow people to flag an episode if a segment is missing or deleted. Maybe even a page where people could comment on the missing video. Thanks anyway and have a great day! PS: I’m so excited for the new Top Gear!
I’d like to attach my enormous thank you to pervious speaker. Website is awesome! Amazing would be if u’d make also ‘other language section’. Top Gear has fans all over the world and to find translated episodes is really hard. So may I suggest, keeping the page as it is but under the english version adding for examle a flag symbol that links you to the same episode but translated and maybe making another tag with a country that youre gonna be able to see list of episodes translated to your language. Im sure that a lot of users will send you links to trnaslated versions. It would make it hell a lot easier to watch TG with friends. 🙂 Greetings from Poland, Aga
YEss!!!!
… I don’t know if they will get the same ratings being that this is how many weeks old and I am just finding out about it. But yeah. I am most def going to watch this just to crap on the BBC. They are idiots for firing J.C. over a punch to the face. Men fight, companies get sued. SHIT happens. Deal with it! Don’t go firing ppl.
But, will they have the same about of stupidity (not to be mean) and outrageous challenges?
As most of the challenges they had, (Police Car, Ambulance, ETC)
I hope they do
