Jason was pregnant with James

And did grow a lot of hair

@@Catalina._ very true

I knew - I KNEW - this would be the top comment. Gawd bless ya for being so completely predictable.

4:45 hes aged very quick

James May and Charisma?

I thought he was.

At the beginning of series 2 James was similar. I'm sure if they kept Jason on he would have become more involved.

To be fair: he steadily got better near the end of the season. And season one was only around 8 episodes I believe.

I dont know what work Jason had done before this but Clarkson and hammond had both been presenters before hand - Jason more likely didnt want to do the full time share of presenting and scripting (also perhaps looks although I wouldnt bet on it), and when the blithering idiot came in, not only was he someone to laugh at but since he went on full time doing more work and being a bigger part of the show, there was no need for jason to be on for news segments anymore Or he just didnt want to work for the bbc/found other employment and we're overthinking it Still, even in this barebones format here, a million times better than the shit reboot after a manager/director/whatever got what was coming to him

Yea, you really see how this shows success was really built on the chemistry of the holy trinity, clarkson, hammond, and may .

@@weslittlereptilefamily3418 you maybe right

Legend says Jeremy's lovable, honest, and above all kind character convinced the Stig he was on the wrong path.

They had a BLM stig lol

@@nicholasr6381 no it was a Slab from Doctor Who.

Before they fired him off an aircraft carrier

The Stig before they killed him and had to resurrect him

Is this a Vietnam reference? I don't get it

​@@aleratzI presume yes

BBC doesn't air the first Season for some reason.

I watched it last year. It's a bit rocky tbh

@@Nathan93Baker probably because of all the gay jokes

@@spongsquad idk about that. They make jokes like that in subsequent seasons and they still show those. Even like 6 or 7 years ago I remember the entire series except for series 1 being on Netflix.

There would probably be more fat jokes.

Cancelled from the 4th season

I think the fact that a lot of these arent him can tell you a lot

When Clarkson was fired from Top Gear, May and Hammond went too, then later all joined the Grand Tour. I think this is because Top Gear / TGT is only marginally about cars - and became more about three mates making fun of one another and going on adventures. The uniqueness is in their relationship together. I really couldn't imagine Jason of S1 being one of the three going on the Africa special or travelling through Africa in dune buggies, can you?

Like The Prodigy if Sharky still was in the group... makes you wonder

Something happen between the two?

@@TheRealCake Apparently so... it was a tense situation at one point and clarkson and Andy Wilman wanted hammond to stay but the end and to be fair it was the right move.

@@TheRealCake After s1 the BBC told Wilman and Clarkson that they wanted some changes and that one of the presenters had to go.

Jasonsenipor with out Richard and Jeremy it would never have worked you need them both and then to add James is even better

Mr Flibble i dont think his presence was the problem. I can feel the gravitational pull from all those years ago from here.

@Mr Fibble personally I feel they should have gone with the king of the potato people

Oh come on, there's nothing at all wrong with Dawe. It's just not fair to compare a normal human to James May.

That’s rather rude, considering you don’t know him.

With the age of that clip i wonder if it's gay as in happy or gay as in gay.....

Christopher nope its Gay as in homosexual lmaoo

Tbh that is a quote Jeremy would say right now lmao 😂

Aged brilliantly. People need to suck it up

@@Alto53 sorry that I can’t lol

Cry

Seriously cry

Oh no, anyway

Want some cheese with your wine? Seriously. Go cry more.

@evan williams I'll add an addendum to that. It was also back when people could laugh at jokes that might be "bad". Jeremy has always been like this. Nothing will ever change. And I don't want him to. He's fucking hilarious.

Gaz was ahead of his time. Or he's reformed himself as "Technology Connections".

same, i was wondering if anyone else noticed that

i can't believe they carried on that joke after 19 years! Ha

Both Clarkson and May are apparently gay...

@@potownrob really? where did you hear that?

Wait what?

*series

Mr_Quality97 who cares it’s the same.

@@predator931 depending where you're from, both are correct

Looks like Jason is still writing about cars in various publications, he's just not on TV any more.

He looks like him

Lol, you're right. That's hilarious.

There were people before Hammond, May and Clarkson.

Well, they needed someone hip and trendy, I can't see any better option...

....Tell me if you ever find out.

You can’t, they were never released on DVD. I think there is a dvd set from a knock off website that has every series in it but I doubt it’s in HD, probably poor quality, I think it’s about £100 or so

I remember watching all the series in Streetfire.com

I'm pretty sure the answer is in this video

@@nhinha-zf6xx Where

Gentleman Gamer he means this video shows it’s not worth it cos it’s shit.

Sharpy wtf who

It made fun of stuff that wouldnt be alound on tv these days

Because it’s just banter. I’m sure some people loved being part of it. Who knows, the people,called out could also been part of it. People who go know what to expect.

People were less sensitive

He is a hopeless driver if they knew then what they know now they would have fired him

@@richardeasther2569 hes a reckless driver, pretty much everyone who has met and seen him drive compared to the others say hes better, including the stig for what its worth. But he is a little... unreliable behind the wheel

@@theoriesbanana reckless doesn't always equate to better. It's obvious that that Clarkson is the most competitive and consistently fast of the presenters.

@@seedy80 I'd agree with you, Hammond does have his crazy Moments but it's not often, Clarkson is more reckless but I prefer James driving

The dude was a presenter nobody gives a pigs arse about how he drives as long as he can bring a good story

When he 'died'. The stig at the time told the media, so they did a spoof where he drove into the sea and they got a new stig. I think that was maybe season 3

First series before the world saw these two, and a third next series

pAtRiCk StAr thanks

@pAtRiCk StAr What do you mean frugal with cars?

@pAtRiCk StAr He seemed like a great guy too, but I'm glad we got James May.

You can tell he doesn't really fit in. May was so much better for the role

The guy from the chase

Jason Dawe

2002
