Read our privacy policy Jeremy Clarkson has called on the BBC to “save” Top Gear. “There will, of course, be an inquiry into the appalling accident that has ended Freddie Flintoff’s spell as a host of Top Gear,” he said, addressing reports that the former England cricketer will now leave the motoring programme for good. Clarkson hosted ‘Top Gear’ from 2002 to 2015 with Hammond and May “Under the circumstances, we feel it would be inappropriate to resume making series 34,” they said in a statement. “We have sincerely apologised to Freddie and will continue to support him with his recovery.” Clarkson presented Top Gear 2002 to 2015, during which he found himself at the centre of many public controversies.
