Default Top Gear possibly returning January '07

I’ve spent the past 20 years or so driving round corners while shouting, but then one day Richard Hammond turned upside down and the treadmill just stopped.

There I was with a big six-month hole in my diary. There’d be no show. No driving round corners. No shouting. For the first time in my adult life I had nothing to do.
-Jeremy Clarkson, Times Online

I really hope that I am wrong about this.

Well they are pretty reliable source, so my guess is you aren't :x

But we got to respect the matter that Richard has to get well first !

What a shame. Also some of the segments that they have already filmed will feel pretty old when it's time to air them.

Here is an interview with Clarkson from the MPH '06 where he is asked when TG will return. He also says it will return in January next year. Heres the vid:

heh.. "minor crash" JC says.. I wonder how Jeremy would feel if things didnt work out as well as they did for Hammond.

Good to hear top gear will be back in January... but that's only if "everythings goes according to plan"

And whats up with this MPH '06 coverage?

Top Gear is coming back as soon as Hammond has had a rest, early next year possibly in January is the latest I've heard, from Clarkson himself.
