Britain's popular motoring show "Top Gear" host Jeremy Clarkson has taken to Twitter to apologize and express his sadness at how the show has drawn to an end.
The show which aired on BBC2 was intended to be Clarkson's swansong following his sudden termination which involved him punching the producer of the show Oisin Tymon.
Thanking fans for the years of support and encouragement Clarkson 55 tweeted, "So sad and sorry it's ended like this."
The show, which lasted for 75 minutes, comprised of footage which was shot before the trio James May, Richard Hammond and Clarkson had departed, according to the Metro.
The finale which drew no attention to Clarkson's departure from the show featured footage of the three presenters racing classic cars and driving SUV's through the English countryside.
A new voice-over for the last episode was newly-recorded, according to the BBC, while May is seen welcoming viewers with the following phrase "Hello and welcome to what's left of Top Gear."
To add to the awkwardness of the episode May appears from behind a 10ft tall plastic elephant called Jeremy, symbolic of the "elephant in the room".
The episode, according to the British news agency, is anticipated to garner the highest rating for the "Top Gear" show in the history of its airing.
It is believed that the episode will do well passing over the 8 million viewers mark that was recorded when the show aired and episode which featured an appearance by racing champion Lewis Hamilton in 2007.
Both co-hosts Hammond and May have left the show and Chris Evans will now present the show.
