James May has now confirmed that another of his shows has come to an end after being cancelled by Prime Video.
May presented three seasons of Our Man In..., the programme where he visited Japan, Italy and India.
Each season focussed on each country, and they were released in 2020, 2022 and 2024 respectively.
May, who is now starring in the new Quest show 'James May and The Dull Men', revealed to news to Yahoo UK, saying: "Well, Our Man In... is actually finished, they don't want any more of that, so I won't be doing that.
Cripes: a penny off a pint of beer. This is a small step to putting the 'great' back in to United Kingdom.

"But that does take you away from home for a long time, which I wasn't so keen on these days anyway."
May said of his new show, James May and the Dull Man: "I think the thing that appeals to me in these sort of more mature years of my life is arts and craft really, I want to make things, play musical instruments, and look at paintings.
"So anything that involves that I'm very up for, and it may be a bit more of this.
"This is very much the first series I think if they want some more of it we will ramp it up a bit, maybe, and spend a bit more time on some of these ideas and make them more thoroughly."

Another Grand Tour? Clarkson, May and Hammond pictured
Last year, May was asked whether he could consider working with Top Gear and The Grand Tour co-hosts Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond again, following the end of the latter show.
He said, while speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I wouldn’t rule it out, but you do have to bear in mind that we’re all getting on a bit.
"I have been doing it for 20 years plus and I don’t think any of us ever thought it would last that long."
One fan took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to call the decision 'dumb' for cancelling a 'great show'.
Newsquest have reached out to Amazon Prime for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
