JAMES May has issued a brutal response to working with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond again.
Last year, the former Top Gear trio broke off their working relationship after over two decades together.
Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond started working together on the famous BBC One show in 2002.
After controversially leaving the corporation, they launched a new show called The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime in 2016.
However, the show came to an end in September last year as the trio bid farewell to doing programmes together after 22 years.
Now, after rumours that they could do more projects, James May has spoken out about the prospect of getting the band back once again.
However, it’s not necessarily the good news that fans may have been hoping for, especially with his utterly savage response.
Apart from a set of upcoming specials of the Amazon Prime motoring show, it seems James is done for good after working “over a third of [his] life working with those two idiots.”
He told ABC News Breakfast: “Yes we have disbanded. There isn’t going to be a reunion.
“We’re not like Led Zeppelin or anything like that. In many ways, we’re not like Led Zeppelin.”
Led Zeppelin have reunited on a number of occasions after they first ‘ended’ in 1980.
They last conducted a concert together in 2007, which was 27 years after the group disbanded following the death of John Bonham.

“Well it was emotional I supposed, I’ve been in that job longer than I’ve been in any other job by a long, long way,” he remarked.

However, the TV presenter said that it was the ‘right time’ for the famous trio to part ways as they embark on other projects.
As well as his column for The Sun, Jeremy Clarkson is now the main face of his global smash hit documentary reality series Clarkson’s Farm.
James also thinks that it should be up to emerging talent to think of new ways to bring the genre of motoring programmes to life.
The star admitted: “It was probably the right time to stop. We are getting on a bit, our view of the subject is probably becoming a bit dated.
“It’s time for a younger generation to re-evaluate it and think of a new way of talking about things like cars.”
