BBC talking with former Top Gear hosts about other projects

The BBC executive tasked with finding a replacement for former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has refused to rule out a return to the show for his co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond.

BBC2 controller Kim Shillinglaw told The Media Show on Radio 4: “Conversations are ongoing with James and Richard about a whole variety of projects at the BBC and while those conversations are ongoing I think that they have to remain private”.
