To be fair, anyone standing on a plant would look a bit of a pr!ck

I was sorely disappointed this season. It was amusing but missed alot of why I enjoy watching Top Gear. I think they have run out of stupid stuff to do in cars and I also think that JC just simply did not agree with some of the things they did this year.

The create a shuttle out of a Robin was funny but hardly worth 3/4 of the show. Also the safety announcement looked to me like a protest against stuff JC doesn't want to do. To top it all off they were having stars in that were doing the 'plugging' circuit and not the usual siarpc type stuff which was basically stars that ACTUALLY wanted to come along.

I say if TG doesn't go back to what it used to be then I'll be quite happy for them to stop making it because IMO the last series was really quite poor.

 

Can't they just privatise the damn company and pay the presenters what their worth? They must be losing billions in advertising revenue each year from all their programs.

 

Top Gear could not be shown on a channel that was privatised.

The whole reason for it being good (and not fifth gear) is that they can say without any fear of retribution exactly what they think.

I like the BBC and am really quite glad to pay my license fee as long as it's not for phone in pish like Big Brother!

 

I think that they need to get closer to the car element again. It has gone a little too far for my liking in reflection to the "I wonder if we can....." without thinking "I wonder if we should...."

Remember JC left the original series years ago and came back for this format. Maybe they need to re-invent themselves again.

 

I won't miss it. Not enough about cars in the last series, too much about trying to be silly. More like "last of the summer wine".

 

It wouldn't suprise me if the BBC wanted to tone the show down a bit after Hamsters crash. I doubt it's about money, as all three of them are meant to get big bucks already.

TG wouldn't be the same if you lost one of the three presenters.

 

Haven't they got to harvest their bio-diesel this summer??!!!!

 

you might have a point there.

BBC putting the feelers out to see how much of a backlash, if any, losing the TG show would have.
