Richard Hammond has teased whether he, Jeremy Clarkson and James May could one day reunite, and fans are absolutely jubilant.
In a discussion with long-time producer Andy Wilman, Hammond spilt the beans on a potential comeback for the former Grand Tour and Top Gear trio.
During a Q&A, Hammond was asked: “Is it really like done done for the trio for you guys?”
He replied: “Well, we’re very old as three and two of us are also very fat. Ha, it’s difficult.
"We always used to answer that question with 'No, never, it’s definitely over. We’ve done it, we’re tired, we’ve reached the end of the road'.”
Hammond then explained that his thinking shifted after a recent chat with Wilman on DriveTribe.
“But I was talking to Andy Wilman the other day on Drivetribe. And I thought, well, everybody else asks him the question. So I’m going to ask him the question.”
Addressing the audience, he added: “Andy, and you all know who Mr Wilman is.”
After several people responded gleefully, “Yes,” “Yes,” and “Oh yeah,” Hammond joked: “You haven’t met him.”
He continued: “I did say, ‘Andy, will we ever work together again as four, do you think?’ And he paused and said, ‘Well, I see no reason why not.’ So maybe let’s see.”
An off-camera voice reacted: “Wow, possibly one day, who knows? That’s great to hear.”
Hammond was quick to manage expectations but still left the door open, concluding: “Well, I don’t know anything yet.
"I’m just thinking maybe one day I wouldn’t be surprised if we did.”
One fan said: "This would break the internet."
Another said: "Please god make this happen."
When did the Grand Tour end?
The Grand Tour ended with the release of “One for the Road” on 13 September 2024.
It was essentially a final African road trip and a farewell to their years together.
