James May, 62, sets record straight on true feelings over Top Gear axe as he blasts BBC over Clarkson sacking
James May has claimed the BBC's decision to sack Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear in 2015 was unnecessary and could have been handled differently. The former Top Gear presenter believes the incident that led to Clarkson's departure after a "fracas" with a producer could have been resolved without ending one of television's most successful shows.
