In a startling revelation that's sent shockwaves through the motoring world, James May has openly questioned whether The Grand Tour can continue, delivering some brutally honest criticism of his co-host Jeremy Clarkson in the process.
The usually diplomatic May didn't hold back during his recent interview, suggesting that Clarkson's advancing age and controversial behaviour might be putting the future of their Amazon Prime series in serious jeopardy.
'We're All Getting Too Old' Admits May
May confessed that the physical demands of their globe-trotting adventures are becoming increasingly challenging for the presenting trio. 'We're all getting a bit old,' he stated bluntly, before adding the telling remark: 'and some of us are getting a bit more intolerant.'
While not naming Clarkson directly, the implication was crystal clear to anyone familiar with the outspoken presenter's history of controversies and public outbursts.
Clarkson's Farm Success Creates Scheduling Nightmare
The massive success of Clarkson's agricultural series on Amazon has created another significant obstacle for The Grand Tour's future. May revealed that Clarkson's commitment to Clarkson's Farm has made coordinating schedules nearly impossible.
'He's very busy with his farm,' May explained, 'and as I understand it, he's very keen on expanding that.' The admission suggests that Clarkson's priorities may be shifting away from their motoring show toward his newer, solo venture.
End of an Era for Motoring Television?
The potential demise of The Grand Tour would mark the end of an era for the three presenters who became household names through Top Gear before their dramatic exit from the BBC. Their move to Amazon was one of the most high-profile in streaming history, but now the future looks uncertain.
May's comments represent the most frank assessment yet of the show's precarious position and highlight the growing tensions behind the scenes. Fans of the trio are left wondering if they've seen the last of the iconic presenting team together on screen.
