Rumor Killing: No, Richard And James Aren’t Leaving
Posted July 5th, 2008 at 23:15 by Viper007Bond in Andy Wilman, James May, Richard Hammond, Top Gear
A bunch of what are essentially gossip magazines in the UK have been reporting that Richard and James are threatening to leave the show if they don’t get a pay raise to match Jeremy’s pay. Unsurprisingly this is all a load of BS.
Andy does a good job of explaining the whole situation in his latest blog post:
Just for the record, Richard and James’s contracts are up soon – no big deal, contracts do end – and their agents are negotiating new ones.
They want an amount, the BBC wants to pay a different amount – again, no surprises there, that’s how business works every minute of every day – and there’ll be horse trading until a number is reached.
But let me also say Richard and James have never ever ever asked to be on equal pay to Jeremy. They are the first to admit that he came up with the new show, and that he does nothing but this show and is the engine room of it, whereas they, quite understandably, like to do other projects as well as Top Gear, and therefore the pay should reflect that.
He talks more about it as well as Sunday’s show, but I’ll let you read the rest of his post yourself.

Richard Hammond’s Oliver To Be In New TV Series

Apparently one of the reasons Oliver is being restored is that he will be appearing in a new TV series.
Practical Classics features editor, Matthew Jones, who has been working closely with Mr Hammond to restore the car, said that once it had been repainted and “tweaked” it would once again find television fame in a new series.
He said: “We’ve had to do the job very quickly because it’s going to be involved in a new television production with Richard Hammond.
“I’m not sure of all the finer details but apparently the show centres around the car and we have to have it ready for filming on July 14.
