Top Gear will never be the same again now that Jeremy Clarkson has left the BBC -or will it ?
Clarkson hinted on a comeback while he spoke to the audience at a charity auction for Chipping Norton Lido.
During Jeremy Clarkson’s first appearance since he was officially axed from BBC Top Gear, the former motoring presenter auctioned off a selection of Top Gear memorabilia. Clarkson also thanked the fans for “coming to see an unemployed man.”
Before auctioning a signed Top Gear ‘The Stig’ T-shirt, Clarkson said a joke that hinted that Jezza might be hiding a trick up his sleeve.
“Now some of you know there used to be a programme called Top Gear. It was on the BBC,” said Jeremy Clarkson. “But we could be back somewhere else. Or maybe even not somewhere else, who knows?”
Jeremy Clarkson did not reveal further details, but it certainly suggests that the automotive journalist is prepping a show on a rival network. What’s more, Clarkson’s statement “But we could be back…” suggests that his co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond may join him on the new program as well.
In a previous article, we reported on a rumor that Jeremy Clarkson may be working out a deal for a motoring show with online streaming service Netflix. Netflix allegedly offered Clarkson total freedom and control over his show as part of the deal.
Stay tuned as we learn more about the future of Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear.
