Just imagine the possibilities: “Tonight on Clarkson, Hammond and May Live: James powerslides a V12-powered wheelchair on sheet ice, Richard jumps through a ring of fire in a MINI and a fat bloke explains the etymology of fracas.“ Clarkson, Hammond and May Live is official, ladies and gents.
See the screenshot above? That’s the official Instagram profile of the live action automotive show, which is essentially a Top Gear spin-off made to entertain arenas. The poster comes as a response to the BBC’s statement according to which Top Gear Live continues without any BBC or Top Gear branding.

Accompanied by a message reading “We're back on the road! #ClarkHamMayLive,” the Clarkson, Hammond and May Live Instagram account description reads:

“Official Instagram account of Clarkson, Hammond & May Live - a live motoring theatre show featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.”

Considering it has over 131,000 followers, this account seems like it’s the proverbial real deal, alright. Just to be sure, we accessed topgearlive.co.uk as well and discovered an interesting bit of intel. "Good news!" as James May used to say on the telly:

“We are delighted to now be able to confirm categorically that all three presenters will take part in the forthcoming Live shows scheduled to take place in Belfast 22-24 May, Sheffield 5-7 June and London 27-29 November.”

“Further to an announcement by BBC Worldwide the events will not feature any BBC branding or content but there will be plenty of the stunts, supercars, challenges and the irreverent humour you know and love from the trio - they’ll also go by the new name of ‘Clarkson, Hammond and May Live.”

It’s not known at the present moment if JC, the Hamster and Captain Slow will get back on TV or sign a contract with Netflix, but this is as certain as debt and taxes: the boys are back as a team once again.
