Future of Top Gear?

Well they sacked him. Another one of my favorite shows down the drain.

Damn you beat me to it. Yep Clarky is gone. The BBC's downfall has begun.

Now we wait to see who snaps him up first and what James and Richard will do.

James and Richard have already said that they will not do Top Gear without Clarkson so the show is basically done. Maybe they will take over Fifth Gear.

Apparently they're talking to Chris Evans to host the show...

Chris Evens said he won't do it so we dodged a bullet there.

I think the best thing for the Beeb to do now would be retire the show until they find a way to bring in the kind of viewing figures that Clarkson et al had. Better to let the show go out on a high than be dragged down by this whole business.

To be fair you can't punch a colleague, even a really annoying one, whatever the reason. He had to go. But it's sad for the show, it won't be the same if it continues. Clarkson is apparently in talks with Netflix though so don't be surprised if a version with a different name with him, Hamster and Captain Slow appears there.

That show the are talking about ins't about cars.

Chris evEns or Chris evAns?
one news site here had a pic of captain america in the article for a few minutes...
