Top Gear will return, BBC insists

Top Gear will return in the summer, the BBC has said - despite host Jeremy Clarkson declaring that it will not.
At the end of the latest series last week, the BBC Two announcer stated the show would be back in the summer.

But in his newspaper column in the Sun, Clarkson said: "Can I just say, here and now, it won't be."

A BBC spokesman responded by saying: "Top Gear will be back. A summer special is planned." A new series would reach screens in the autumn, he added.

"We're expecting all three boys to present the programmes."

But he refused to give any further details or explain the confusion.

The show made a successful comeback in January, four months after co-host Richard Hammond was involved in a serious high-speed crash while filming.

An estimated eight million people tuned in to see the last episode in the series on Sunday - BBC Two's largest audience for 10 years.

Word from the BBC is that they will return, Clarkson however feels differently.

Anybody heard anything more about this? I can't imagine life without Top Gear, Sundays wouldn't be Sundays..

Yeah, easily one of the best tv shows on TV

btw Season 9 Episode 3 is probably in my mind the best episode ever made, one where they are touring america. If you havent seen it, do. Very amusing incident of clarkson and a cow.

well the fee is going up again, so they can afford it!
It was on Radio 1 yesterday dinner saying they can confirm it will be back with the same hosts.

The problem stood with James May's pay as he is/was on 10x's less than the other two and they ALL wasn't happy to have such a big pay difference.
