Jeremy Clarkson has reunited with his former ‘Top Gear’ presenters Richard Hammond and James May, in new videos to promote their upcoming tour.

The clips are the first video footage to emerge of the trio since Jeremy’s very public sacking from the BBC motoring show over a “fracas” with a producer on the show, with Richard and James announcing they were also stepping down from the presenting team shortly afterwards.

Despite being sacked from the show, it was confirmed that Jeremy would be completing the scheduled ‘Top Gear Live’ arena tour, though it has now been renamed ‘Clarkson, Hammond May Live’ to erase any BBC branding from the shows.

Clarkson, Hammond & May

In the first new clip, titled #BackOnTheRoad, Jeremy is seen operating a crane, with what he dubs “May’s piano” on the end of it, explaining to Richard: “You know he used to want beef Hula Hoops in the green room? Well he now says he wants a piano.”

We won’t spoil the end of the clip for you, but let’s just say that Jeremy Clarkson, a piano and a crane are probably as good a match as you would imagine.

Another clip shows the trio standing in front of a truck, being loaded with cars for their upcoming tour, with fairly unsuccessful results.

With three slots now open on the ‘Top Gear’ presenting team, the BBC have insisted that they’re keen to go ahead with the show, leading to much speculation about who’ll be taking over when the next series airs.

Jeremy was recently photographed out for a drink with ‘For The Love Of Cars’ presenter Jodie Kidd, suggesting he’d given her his blessing to take over, while Philip Glenister and ‘Broadchurch’ actor Will Mellor have also been reported to be near the top of producers’ wishlists.

Who Could Replace Jeremy Clarkson On 'Top Gear'?
Katie Hopkins(01 of11)

If you're looking for someone who doesn't mind being purposefully offensive, look no further than Katie Hopkins. The controversy magnet hits the headlines more often than all the Top Gear stars put together, normally because she's offended someone/a large group of people.
Nigel Farage(02 of11)

You've suspended a pint-loving smoker who has his head stuck in the 1940s? Why not employ someone exactly the same person?Nigel Farage has virtually the same political views as Clarkson, so he'd probably be a good fit.
Vladimir Putin(03 of11)

If you want someone with outdated ideas about their country's military might and an odd desire to look as masculine as possible, the Russian leader would be a good one to go for. Although he probably won't be free any time soon, he's probably going to be running the Kremlin until he dies.
Piers Morgan(04 of11)

If you've ever seen one of Piers' epic Twitter spats with Clarkson, you'll know he's remarkably similar in many ways. The same fashion sense, a similarly punchable face, and all the rest of it.
Angela Rippon(05 of11)

She did so well presenting it in 1977, why not bring her back?
John Inverdale(06 of11)

Who better to take over from Clarkson's controversy-laden style than the man who brought us "rose-c***ed spectacles"?
Dapper Laughs(07 of11)

Here's someone as offensive and widely hated as Clarkson, who'll undoubtedly make the same kind of unpleasant jokes just because he thinks they're funny. If maximum offensiveness is what you're going for, snap up the world's least funny comedian ASAP.
Chris Evans(08 of11)

Chris Evans has been rumoured to be one of the next in line to host the car show, so it might be the right move.
Alan Partridge(09 of11)

The veteran radio host's alter ego Steve Coogan is quite the petrol-head, having appeared on the show several times. But wouldn't it be great for the man from Norwich to take you around the Top Gear track whining about "POWERRRR" is his trademark nasal voice?
Kanye West(10 of11)

Potentially the only ego bigger than Clarkson's.
Mr Blobby(11 of11)

He'd certainly be more coherent than Clarkson at times. He's probably also a bit skinnier and a better driver.
