Jeremy Clarkson has had his say on the decision to halt production of the popular BBC show he formerly hosted, Top Gear. It comes in the wake of Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff's horror crash, which in hindsight was the death knell of the motoring show.
Clarkson was sacked from presenting the programme prior to signing a deal with Amazon Prime Video, where he, alongside regular co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond, host The Grand Tour. After a few shuffles of new presenters, the BBC eventually settled for Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris as the new faces of the show.
Clarkson used his column in The Sun to ask for the programme to not get the axe. Under the headline 'Top Gear has to be saved', he wrote: "in these days of soft and cuddly eco-madness, we need programmes like it more than ever".
