I love Top Gear but just because he's a celebrity doesn't mean he should be immune to responsibility. He deserved what he got. I would expect to lost my job if I hit a co worker. --- End quote --- :stupid Yes, you have to make some accommodations for the 'divas', but you can only bend over backwards so far before you say 'you know, we'll let you go and take our chances. Maybe start another TV franchise. That doesn't involve you.' I did like Top Gear although I got bored of it after a while. The fun stuff was well, fun but the reviews of regular cars are so pretentious. Like it really matters to the average driver if a car corners a smidgen better than some other car and therefore the other car must be garbage. Or things like that comparison of a Prius and a BMW M3 which leaves people thinking the BMW M3 is more economical than the Prius! Yes, Jeremy elaborates at the end that is all about how you drive it but that is lost on most people. And I can only watch so many reviews of supercars I'll never ever be able to afford to buy, before it gets a bit 'meh'. They also tried a Top Gear Australia and it sounds like it was about as loved as the American version. I watched maybe two episodes. I think we can all agree that Top Gear is Jeremy, Richard and James. R.I.P Top Gear. You had a fantastic run. I'm sure something else just as great will come along eventually. |

I thought it was full of drunk soccer hooligans beating people up. Their jails would be full. |

PBJ is right, not only are they a bunch of cowards, they protect the criminals, and victimise the victims even further. Lots of well known examples. Those poor kids in Rochdale was simply disgusting, and all the police could do was say "sorry". The UK is a mere shadow of itself. I'm not condoning violence, but if you wind up a person like Jeremy Clarkson, you are expecting to receive a smack. Top Gear will appear on SKY or another of Murdochs outlets, besides the syndication will last for decades. |

This is the BEST ---smurfing--- thing on the planet. Some people may know I'm one of the shows biggest fans. And I can't be more happy. The BBC has been making horrible decisions since the 2008 economic downturn. And this is just the latest. Most people don't realize that Clarkson reported himself to the BBC after the incident. Not the other way around. May has now said on record that the three of them are a package deal. For the last few years we've only ever gotten 6 episode series of the show, then we wait. And it was always under the thumb of a state run broadcasting company. Netflix, Sky, Channel 2, and iTV are all looking at their pocketbooks to see what kind of crazy offer they can make. So what? We still wait another 8-10 months (as usual) and we get a new, better show with Andy Wilman and Clarkson at the helm. Wilman's also gone on record saying that the BBC didn't trust the TopGear staff after what went down in Argentina. i think he's been dissolutioned with the Beeb for some time now. |
