They’ve implied that Richard and James will leave the show too...I’d imagine they would, the three of them will make lots of money with a new show...has anybody heard if The Stig is leaving too?

I don’t think the US can duplicate British TV humor, not sure why, maybe it’s the PC. But the American version of Top Gear was boring, and not funny at all.

Red Dwarf was another example of a British show that was just plain funny but totally non PC. But on the other hand The Office, the original British version, was toned down for US and I do think that was a good thing.

The Stig doesn't matter, he's anonymous and they can probably suit up any race car driver to take his place. The sad part is that I'm sure the STIG (anonymous race car driver in white suit) is part of the program and can't be on any new show Jezza does.

I liked both, but I preferred the BBC version of The Office.
