Top Gear: Jeremy Clarkson and co-hosts sign seven-figure pay deal

Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have signed a new three-year deal to continue fronting the hit BBC2 car show.

The new deal is likely to involve a substantial windfall for Clarkson and the programme's producer Andy Wilman because BBC Worldwide has taken full control of their lucrative Bedder 6 joint venture, which owns the commercial rights to the show and which has paid the duo millions of pounds in dividends.

blah blah blah.....

Since they skipped a series I would hope for double budgets this series.

Supercars, crazy trips, explosions, etc ...

I'd like at least 10 episodes if they can't do that.

Would like but probably won't happen. They don't even do yearly awards anymore.

Well, at least there's another car vs. transportation challenge. Those are my favorite ones, & we haven't had one since season season 13 (car vs. bike vs. train).

European Top Gear race now over. Me in a car. Hammond and May on public transport. No-one was killed.

Can't wait for that! May & Clarkson are such polar opposites, that it always makes for amusing dialogue when they're together.

I thought it was ok. It is just Hammond that does the special.

I think I am going to watch season 18 again as well.
