Youtube also has many clips of Top Gear specials you never see here in the USA. Plus others shows these guys do separate from Top Gear.

I’ll look for them. The streaming sources may have some too.

... even my wife liked that show.

Same here. My wife is not a car person, but she enjoyed the antics and humour, even if it was completely juvnile.

The only other car show she likes is "Wheeler Dealers."

I won't watch "Top Gear" with the ex-Mr. Billie Piper leading the band. It won't be the same having a ginger as the host.

I have finally grasped the true meaning of the Brit slang "Wanker".

who?

one nice thing about top gear was that it was unapologetically fake. The US version was an unwatchable mess. (then again I could only take about 60 seconds and changed the channel faster than a Geraldo rivera appearance)

the BBC ruined Dr. Who and now they have ruined this.

BBC, you have screwed the pooch. Top Gear without May, Hammond and Clarkson will be nothing of interest to all the legacy fans. I've binge-watched them all, and they can never be replaced. Sorry, Beebs, but no sale. The boys will reappear somewhere else, just not on your politically-correct douchework. You can not replicate such camaraderie with some bureaucratic fumbledick formula. Good luck trying that, the US government has been attempting the same retarded formula with every presidential candidate since FDR. Epic fail, forever. Thank you and good night.

Clarkson’s actions in punching that producer demanded some sort of disciplinary response; no one is questioning that. However, there were plenty of options available to the BBC short of destroying the show.

Unfortunately, in their limitless, fanatical zeal to force their PC political agendas on everyone else, the BBC went nuclear and were too blind and stupid to see that they were shooting themselves in the foot.

They aren’t punishing Clarkson; he’s a talented, valuable entertainment commodity who will find gainful employment somewhere else, as will Hammond and May. No, they aren’t punishing Clarkson; they’re punishing their own viewers...

Haha, that’s what I thought, too.
