its a poor indictment of the BBC, if their relevance is so shallow that they need him let them both disappear

That's the thing, I don't think any channels will be willing to do anything with how much he's pissed certain people off.

Well, it depends on how money hungry they are..
Because it will make some good money..

Apparently Hammond and May were offered to do the new series without Clarkson, but they refused. Top Gear wouldn't be the same without gigantic ape.

I mean it, it's not like much of what they do is high tech, realistically all we'd need is access to a youtube channel, some handheld cameras and with the contacts the presenters themselves have they could get the cars they need and so on, the only constraints would be budget and location but I'm sure that could be worked around. For those who don't know, Clarkson apparently got sacked just this week and I know what he did was a shitty thing ( If it's even true, the first people who posted it up were the tabloids for fucks sake ) but I think the BBC have to be collosal morons to let that sort of thing get so completely out of hand in the first place.

I'm not necessarily making this thread to debate what happened, not that I mind of course, but my main question is, we're here, we have cryptocurrencies, a source of funding the state can't turn off, we have the internet which can't be censored and that means they'll be able to broadcast whatever the hell they want, so why not see if we can contact one of them and maybe set it up? Before the private companies snatch them up and try to turn them all into Peugeot salesmen.

Naturally, I'm an Anarchist and my stake in this is I want to see them fuck with state propaganda rather than watch them fade into obscurity on some random breakfast show, plus I've always found Top Gear to be a lot of fun, the political class who hate Clarkson are already cheering over his apparent demise and that particularly grates at me, especially when I see the kind of people they're talking about replacing him with.
Channel 5 will be contacting them as soon as they confirm that the BBC series is done, and they will do the same show there instead.
I think it has had it's best days already, and maybe it is time for them to go out while it is still worth watching, it has become more and more challenge oriented and they are very formulaic.

Clarkson probably deserved to be sacked and it's a good time for him to out while he is still generally popular too. It's worked out great for him!
