Overview

• UK company records list the liquidation as effective in early September, with liquidators appointed to wind down W. Chump & Sons.
• W. Chump & Sons was formed in 2015 with producer Andy Wilman after the presenters left the BBC to make The Grand Tour for Prime Video.
• Filings note £24,087,100 at the time of the appointment of liquidators, which could equate to just over £6 million each if split equally among the four directors.
• Reporters view the move as confirmation that no further joint TV projects are planned, following The Grand Tour’s finale last September.
• The presenters remain active individually, including Clarkson’s Farm (with a fifth series reported in production), James May’s Great Explorers, and Richard Hammond’s Workshop.
