Jeremy Clarkson feeling 'nostalgic' as he makes Top Gear return after BBC exit
Jeremy Clarkson says he is feeling "nostalgic" as he reflected on his time on BBC show Top Gear now the broadcaster has started airing reruns of his series
Jeremy Clarkson admits he is feeling "nostalgic" as he reflects on his Top Gear return. The Clarkson's Farm star fronted the hit BBC motoring show with James May and Richard Hammond.
Following that, Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuiness and Chris Harris took over full time but the show was put on hiatus after Freddie suffered life changing injuries in a horrific accident on set.
Now, the BBC have started airing old episodes of Top Gear, featuring Jeremy, Richard and James, something which has made Jeremy feel quite nostalgic as he reflected on his career so far and his decades on the show. It comes after one Top Gear host admitted he 'never got along' with Jeremy Clarkson as he made a bold statement.

"It's lovely actually. Sunday nights without Top Gear feel a bit weird so no it's nice to see them coming back actually. I'm delighted," he told Time Radio, "You know the funny thing was last Sunday. I was wandering through the sitting room and it was on. I did pause for a few minutes. I did watch it and yeah it was quite nostalgic.
"I think there were some pretty good shows in there. There were some pretty terrible ones as well but there were some good ones."
Aside from Top Gear, it's been a tough week for Jeremy as he's been forced to close his Diddly Squat farm for two months after a breakout of bovine TB in his cattle.
He said: "It's awful, it is awful. You have a test every six months on the cows and then you sort of become blasé, it's a hypothetical threat. And then the vet looks up as he did yesterday lunchtime and said 'I'm really sorry this one's failed'. So that means we're now locked down and it's just dreadful, absolutely dreadful.
"It's only been not even 24 hours since I found out and it occupies my mind. Well it was occupying my mind but I got up this morning and found one of my puppies has died. And we've got a very sickly calf. Honestly, farming? I'm not enjoying it this week."
Jeremy also revealed that the farm will be closed for "certainly two months because that's how long we have to wait before we do another test" but said that the farm shop was unaffected as "it's only cows that get affected by it".
