BBC Two will air Jeremy Clarkson’s final scenes on Top Gear later this year.

The remaining footage for season 22 of the BBC’s hit motoring show will be salvaged for television in 2015, BBC Two controller Kim Shillinglaw announced on Tuesday.

Jeremy Clarkson has not been banned from the BBC, she added.

However, Shillinglaw claimed there is not enough footage for the intended three episodes. She is working with Top Gear executive-producer Andy Wilman to create something out of the existing material.

Speaking about the pre-recorded scenes, she said, “No way would I want the available material not to be seen by viewers.”

Be interesting how they put these shows together as cant film the studio sections of the programme with Clarkson/May/Hammond any more.

It's only fair that they air them. After all out TV license fees went into making the episodes. I half expected them to release them on dvd as unseen footage - another way to fleece fans.
It will be interesting to see how "Not" Top Gear Live goes next month. I'm sure it was an opportunity to sell a lot of t shirts and merchandise relating to the show and the Stig. Wonder what they will offer instead?

I didn't care much for the rambling in studio or the star in crap car anyway, so this is TG on steroids as far as I'm concerned.
