James May and Richard Hammond, former “Top Gear” presenters, surprised fans by returning to the show’s studio in a nostalgic video.

A decade after leaving the automotive show “Top Gear,” former presenters James May and Richard Hammond made a nostalgic visit to the old production headquarters.

The trio consisted of James, Richard, and Jeremy Clarkson, who was not present. The duo visited the former studio where the episodes were filmed, including the backstage rooms.

“I feel strange, I feel really strange being here,” said Hammond, with both confirming that it was their first time back on set since the final day.

“I feel both 10 years old and 110 years old at the same time,” he continued. “It’s that feeling of being a boy, but an old man. Wow.”

The two hosted the BBC show from 2002 to 2015, which became a worldwide success on TV. May and Hammond left the show alongside Clarkson due to an “unprovoked physical attack” on a producer.

The three continued the idea in “The Grand Tour” on Amazon Prime Video, which ended in 2024.
