Top Gear exec Andy Wilman has said that there is no end in sight for the show.
Wilman told Broadcast that talks about future series will soon commence with hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, whose current deals expire in 2015.
"When we look stupid or when we think we are flogging a dead horse [we'll stop], but that hasn't happened this series," the executive producer argued. "It's better than the last series, which was a bit ropey.
"There's clearly an appetite, it's still there. So, we'll start talking [about future series] soon."
The latest series of Top Gear opened with 5.34m viewers earlier this month, with the most recent episode pulling in 5.55m on Sunday, February 23.
Wilman previously stated that the motoring show provides viewers with "the path to 9-year-old escapism".
