Top Gear producer Andy Wilman quits show

 

Top Gear executive producer Andy Wilman has quit the BBC show in the wake of Jeremy Clarkson's departure, the BBC has confirmed.

Former presenter Clarkson was dropped from the show last month following a "fracas" with a producer. Wilman, who was an old school friend of Clarkson, helped reinvent the show and oversaw its growth into a globally successful programme. This has come also when Earlier on Thursday, James May said he would not return to the BBC show without co-host Clarkson.
