Overview

• Official records filed this week show W. Chump & Sons has entered voluntary winding up.
• The closing balance reported in the filing is £24,087,100, with some outlets calculating a roughly £6 million share per person if split equally, which has not been confirmed.
• Coverage interprets the dissolution as a sign the trio do not plan further television projects together as a presenting team.
• W. Chump & Sons was formed in 2015 with producer Andy Wilman to make The Grand Tour after the presenters left the BBC’s Top Gear.
• The presenters continue with individual ventures, including Clarkson’s Farm on Prime Video, James May’s recent Channel 5 series The Great Explorers, and Richard Hammond’s Workshop on Discovery+, which The Sun reports is due to return in October.
