Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has given fans a tantalising first look at Amazon Prime's new motoring show after overseas filming began.

He and co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May left the BBC earlier this year and signed a "very, very, very expensive" deal to make a car-themed programme with the online streaming service.

The 55-year-old outspoken broadcaster had previously insisted "much is already sorted" for the show - after May suggested the stars had got "nowhere", with decisions about content or a name yet to be made.

But Clarkson gave little away as he shared a picture with his 5.6 million Twitter followers of the hosts and crew next to three supercars and two lorries:

I'm gradually moving away from cable. I was paying around $200 for an ill advised bundle — internet, tv and phone. I broke up the bundle, got rid of the phone and now have bare minimum tv and wireless internet. Essentially, my tv consists of local channels just because I'd rather watch local news and weather on tv. But as local channels have started offering streaming of their local news, at some point I'll be rid of the cable tv too. I just need to find some cheap way for good reception. Where I live, rabbit ears don't work well.

That’s his “game” -— as a curmungeon. Ornery, irritating, both friendly but conniving at the same time.

With an attitude of “take me or leave me, I am what I am.”

And also like Trump, the comedians and other talking heads are generally hostile to him, but his ratings remain stellar.
