This was many many years ago. He must have toughed it out. Oddly enough, I'd think that farming is more taxing on him than driving.

I'm glad we still have some great content from these folks. I do agree with most folks here. Out of all the presenters, Hammond is the weakest of the bunch.
I dont honestly know what the circumstances are, whether they're leaving the show to do their own things, or if its being cancelled, it doesnt much matter really.

But yeah, they're just getting too old to do it. Seeing James in that crash in 'A Scandi Flick' was pretty rough, and Hammond...well, he goes without saying. His wife is probably pretty happy that he's leaving cars behind.

And they're all doing their own thing which all costs a lot less money to produce. Not that Amazon should particularly care.
