Clarkson confirms he and Top Gear will return
Jeremy Clarkson has laid to rest rumors that either he or Top Gear itself would not be returning for another season. During yesterday's show, which is the last for the current series, Clarkson said, "Everyone seems to think the programme is finished or that I've left. Well, sorry to disappoint you all but it isn't and I haven't. Top Gear... will be back in the autumn."The rumor spread after Clarkson contradicted a BBC announcer's claim that a Top Gear "summer special" was in the works and that the show would return in the fall. Clarkson turned the rumor mill's key when he said in his column, "After last week's Top Gear, the continuity announcer said the show would be back in the summer. Can I just say, here and now, it won't be."
Most are now assuming that Clarkson is simply claiming that there won't be a summer special for the show, but that it will return, with Clarkson in tow, next fall.
Thanks for the tips, all!

I want to know why when I want to watch Top Gear I have to find an episode (or clip of an episode) on You tube? I think they might be on Speed Channel, but you have to order expensive packages to see it. I'm tell you, ESPN...make it happen.

They used to be on Discovery, but its my understanding that there is no longer an American venue for this show. Cable or otherwise, unless you count bittorrent.

The media pulls a quote out of context, starts a rumor, and then they get to write more articles about it to fill their pages and TV time!
What a novel idea! ... that the media uses over and over daily.

With all the fighting they said they had to do to bring Top Gear back after Hammond's accident, I'd think they wouldn't just walk away from it.

"During yesterday's show, which is the last for the current series"
The last episode of the spring series of Top Gear aired over two weeks ago...

Great news, eventhough Jeremy Clarkson is harsh on American cars they still have the best car tv show ever. Glad he is back.

I like the show, but I hate the guests....Well, maybe just Mr. Pompous Ass (Clarkson). But I guess that's why that other British asshole is on American Idol, it gets the ratings up.

OK, now how about getting this show on iTunes so I can watch it again (thanks for nothing, Discovery Channel)?

No one in the U.S. knows or particularly cares about this show. I saw it once and it reminded me of British food. It's horribly bad and bland, but because they've never had better, they think it's great. Now if it was hosted by Michael Palin and Alistair Cook, THAT would be a decent show.

Top Gear 'bland' ? Please let me know of better car-related shows to watch, because so far, I find Top Gear to be the most entertaining.
