Everyone else is too scared of offending anyone and that ****ed things IMO.
A few weeks ago I saw Clarkson in tears as it came to an end. Nothing anyone does will be Top Gear. Even The Grand Tour didn't do it, as Clarkson recognises, although it came close.
Top Gear was not a TV show, it was an institution. I bless Amazon for giving it another chance, but it was broken. The BBC will rue their decision for around ten years.
The forth (sic) season will not be the same, as Clarkson clearly said through his tears. I can only hope it will be better.
That said, I have magazines ( Car ) going back to the early 80s where May wrote with intellect and humour. I doubt they are done.
