That must have been one of your easiest interviews ever. Richard and James are effortlessly entertaining.

[dwindlinggravitas]

I'm not even a car guy, but I love listening to these two.
They speak sense, and they are informed and eloquent.

This is the best sort of clickbait: you expect something slightly scandalous about Jeremy Clarkson, you instead get a reasoned and intelligent discussion of environmental questions relating to automobiles.

[niriop]

Everyone should put a James May wig on and flash mob the pub.

[louise]

I don't think Jeremy would EVER ban James or Richard from the Pub. No way. When James was unemployed and down Jeremy was the one that gave him the Top Gear job. When Jeremy was fired, the 3 left together. Comrades forever. Must be a joke 😃

"Engineers have already solved this problem it's GOVERNMENTS fiddling with it that get everybody confused"

[distractionb]

when Mr. Hammond said the Jaguar he was driving just "broke down this morning" he neglected to say "for the 97th time this week."

Banning May is a great piece of PUBlicity.

I miss the old gang on Top Gear. I never watched a single episode after they left.

The ban is part of a lighthearted joke, reflecting their playful friendship, with both finding it amusing.

James May and Richard Hammond are both looking very well. Great to see these guys.

[scoobersteve]

Jeremy banning James was just top British banter 😂

[Morndue]

That is the most nuanced, in-depth analysis of eco driving I have ever heard. Hammand nailed it. Never heard him so authoritative. Brilliant.

[Gfttre_rred]

It just banter between Jezza, the Hamster and Capt Slow....😂😂😂😂

[cameronmmj]

Its great to hear someone with James Mays platform calling out the government for pushing diesels cars in the 90s.

The government hasnt got a clue...

[paolopetrozzi]

"I'm not I'm not very keen on GOVERNMENT INTERFERING with things like PEOPLE'S CHOICE of car or in fact the government interfering with motoring at all, because don't forget they all told us to buy diesel and now they're telling us we must not."

[edwardwolf]

Richard and James should go under cover at the pub to review it

[ValensBellator]

I honestly think the biggest reason Jeremy has a pub is to have a place to ban people from 😂

[Taylor___]

Well done Richard for being the voice of reason.
