Former Top Gear presenter tweets about busy life for him and Richard Hammond - then remembers to include James May

So it’s full throttle for the ex-Top Gear boys as Jeremy Clarkson returned to Twitter after more than a month absence with an update on his new motoring show for Amazon.

Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) Sorry about the lengthy absence from Twitter. These are very very very busy times. Fun though.

Clarkson, who has not posted a tweet since August 17, said that he and co-presenter Richard Hammond and executive producer Andy Wilman have been in fast and furious mode “putting our show together”.

Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) To be clear, May is busy with other stuff but Hammond, Wilman and I are extremely busy putting our new show together. Much is already sorted

“Much is already sorted,” he said in a tweet that inadvertently made it sound like James May was not involved with the programme.

Clarkson hurriedly clarified any doubt posting a third tweet on the subject saying that filming of the turbo-charged show begins in a few weeks involving all three of the former presenters of the hit BBC2 show.
