Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Cheesy

This year is going to be fucking awesome, all I need is for the Bitcoin price to go up to $500 and then everything will be amazing.

I certainly think it'd be the best option for the series to continue, even if it's in a different form.

Chris Evans has been announced as the new Clarkson with as yet unnamed co-presenters. Wonder what the viewing figures will be like without the old team.


I guess it's official now, but If i recall correctly, he denied in the begin that he'll host top gear and there was no discussion with the BCC. Probably the best choice at the moment, and with the production team and budgets the show will remain a standard but of course without the trio it's not the same, Now what I'm waiting for to know where they'll land, isn't iTV or Netflex

be your self
Having Netflix as a home would make for a much more interesting show. No advertisers or stuffy committees to please and a much bigger budget to play with.

Exactly. Bigger stage and a better show. No more ass kissing. More ass kicking.

My friend showed my a 9GAG post or from some humor related site that they might go to netflix. What about all the international viewers that can't use netflix?

The BBC has boasted before about how many illegal downloads the show gets from torrent sites etc. I think I read iot is one of the most pirated TV shows ever.


It hasn't even been aired yet so this is just hype. Besides, viewing figures are bullshit based on guestimations. The only fairly accurate figures are from the Iplayer and even that can be manipulated.

Yeah, that's true, we'll know for sure how things go when the BBC report their earnings from that particular day, it's going to be funny seeing the massive drop when the presenters go off to do their own thing.

Now that makes for interesting rumor. Hard to fathom, but if it's true, it would be something pretty interesting.
Let's see how it goes

I love that line people always use, of course it doesn't make it acceptable, nobody is actually saying that if you noticed, but yet, people insist on making more out of it than what actually happened, they had a scuffle they got pissed off, things have calmed down, life goes on.

I think some people must be living in a fucking bubble because where I've grown up that kind of shit happens constantly, I expect Clarkson will be a lot calmer now though once he's gotten some distance from the BBC because he's already looking happier now he's out of there.

That's not surprising with the amount of press that they got with it being cancelled and with the whole Argentina affair.
I would guess that they had a spike after Hammond had his crash and nearly died too.

It doesn't make it acceptable for the hosts to assault people though.  We'll see if it is as popular in the future as a 45min show with adverts, or when you can binge them all together on netflix.  I am not so sure.

The interesting thing is it was Clarkson himself who reported it and apologised, yeah, he should get a punishment for hitting somebody, what I find ridiculous though is how people just can't let it fucking go. The difference is while he did punch somebody he clearly regretted it afterwards and it wasn't as if he tried to beat the living shit out of him.

Frankly I think this is going to be better for everybody, including him, he clearly was not happy at the BBC and I suspect this was a build up after having to deal with lots and lots of shit over the years, nobody loses their temper over food unless they've had shit happen to them beforehand.

Source: In school I had a really bad day and ended up telling a teacher to fuck off and slammed the door on him and got suspended for it, ever since I left school I've never been happier in comparison lol.

This is why I do find myself sympathising with him regardless because the BBC must be the biggest bunch of pretentious and petty assholes to ever work with never mind talk to.



fyi you know the BBC suck when even John Cleese is getting tired of them.

I hope the BBC go bankrupt and finally die or go private, they're a bunch of corrupt assholes regardless of what Jeremy has done.

TV Licences funds the BBC over 3 billion every year. No chance of bankruptcy, they are big fat pigs Angry

3 billion? I don't think so. Where are you getting that figure from? According to the following it's 25 million for 2013/14: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_United_Kingdom#Total_licence_sales

He didn't mean 3 billion people pay the licence fee!  That would be half of the world!  The total amount raised by the licence fee is over 3billion pounds though.

Neither did I. I misread it as 25 million pounds is how much they received from TV license sails Cheesy.

I will watch Top Gear if it goes to Netflix, but I don't disagree with him being fired.  He sounds like he was in the wrong and would have been fired from any other job for doing that.
Top Gear is past its best now anyway.  It might not be a bad idea for them go out on a high, otherwise it might really get stale.

He pushed his luck far too many times and that was what pushed them over the edge to sacking him. Had it been anyone else they would have sacked him long ago. You can't go around hitting people and acting like a diva.

C'mon, who actually watches TV or pays for Netflix? As soon as a program has finished airing either on TV or Netflix it is ripped an uploaded on torrents and warez sites and Top Gear will be no different. I never watched Top Gear when it was on TV but downloaded them after so I could watch them any time. I actually have all 22 seasons downloaded but haven't watched the earlier ones.

It just goes to show you that even though the fuckers hated them they had nothing better to replace them with, it's going to be fun to watch them next year.

You know we're going to be the same repeats on Dave for the next bloody 20 years.

I love  them guys though, used to watch all the reruns every morning before we started getting the Horror Channel. Got extremely bored with it after a while though mind you, to the point it was getting annoying.  Tongue

Just download it off bittorrent, someone will upload it I'm sure Cheesy

That's definitely an option, but it's going to be a shame not seeing them on TV anymore.
