James May, one of the former hosts of the popular motoring show Top Gear, recently reflected on the show's success and its relevance in today's society. In an interview with The Telegraph, May shared his thoughts on the show's format and its future.
According to May, Top Gear was a product of its time, and it's unlikely that the show will return with the same format. He believes that social attitudes towards cars have changed, and the show needs to adapt to the current political climate.
May also defended the show against claims of sexism and misogyny, stating that it was simply a reflection of the trio's brutally honest opinions. He explained that their role was to provide a distorted view of the world through the lens of car enthusiasts.
The trio, who recently bid farewell to The Grand Tour, received criticism from various officials during their time on Top Gear. However, May expressed that he didn't mind Clarkson's controversial remarks as it was part of his job to stir up controversy.
May, Clarkson, and Hammond first started filming Top Gear in 2002 and became a household name in the world of motoring. However, May believes that it's time for a new motoring show to take the spotlight, as the trio are getting too old for the fast-paced nature of the show.
May's new show, James May and the Dull Men's Club, explores male hobbies and roles that are often viewed as dull by society. He hopes to challenge the perception of what it means to be a man and showcase the skills and knowledge that come with being a "dull" person.
Despite going their separate ways, May didn't rule out the possibility of a reunion with his former co-hosts. However, he did acknowledge that they are getting older and may not be able to keep up with the demands of a motoring show.
Meanwhile, Clarkson has expressed his struggles with the physical demands of filming, stating that he's too old and unfit for certain stunts. His co-host Flintoff, who also suffered an injury during filming, has since returned to the public eye with his new show Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams on Tour.
It's clear that the Top Gear trio has left a lasting impact on the world of motoring and entertainment. As they continue to explore new projects and challenges, fans can't help but wonder if they will ever reunite for another motoring adventure. Only time will tell.
