The Grand Tour star James May has weighed in on the rumours of the show's cancellation.
May and his two co-hosts are coming to the end of their current contracts with Prime Video, which saw them switch to making one-off specials rather than traditional series of the motoring show.
Recently, there have been rumblings that the streaming giant has decided not to make more of The Grand Tour or spin-off show Clarkson's Farm beyond the end of their contracts in 2024.

May has responded in a chat with Radio Times, where he explained the trio "didn't really have any particular plans to keep going" beyond their current deal anyway.
"We're all really just getting a bit old. It might be time to let someone else have a crack at it," he said.
The presenter quickly clarified that even if The Grand Tour goes away, he could continue making his spin-off James May: Our Man in… — and indeed will return to the show in 2024 for a series set in India.
"It doesn't mean we're going to stop making TV. We might still make our individual things farming or science or mending cars or whatever it is we get up to," he said.
"But I don't know, to be honest. No one has told us to go away. It's reaching its natural end, like parties do. There comes a point at 4am when it is over."

The presenter also has a culinary show on Prime Video called James May: Oh Cook, where he learns to prepare some of his favourite foods from around the world. The second series premiered last month, featuring topics such as 'French Classics' and '70s Dinner Party'.
The Grand Tour is available to stream in both the US and UK on Prime Video.
