Last top gear

Is on BBC Iplayer s22e8.
If you've not used Iplayer you will need hula or similar to pretend you're in UK.
Made from 2 salvaged films and intro by May and Hammond.
Wonderful TV, classic top gear.
Very sad now.

Don't worry, they'll be back better than ever sometime soon.

Yup, Auntie Beeb really shot herself in the foot with this one.

Ha ha, sure did.

nah, it was heading to a slow death anyway, sure a lot of followers but not going anywhere else. Next move would have been the American sitcom faux revival of 'add a new character that doesnt quite work', add a new segment, add a baby etc etc
It was already getting very same old, same old & only relying on bigger, more outrageous & trying to one-up the previous episode. That can only last so long

I was just upset we never got to see the race between the Mclaren, the Porsche and the Ferrari.

Just watched this on youtube, some classic clarkson lines, well worth a view.

What's "similar" though?

Change it a bit and it might not be deemed to be similar enough.

Or -

The men may be able to work their way around the clause however, which reportedly prohibits them from launching a rival motoring show on a UK channel in the next two years.

If the trio were to sign with Netflix, a US-based streaming service, they could still launch a show before 2017. In June, Clarkson confirmed he was negotating with US firms about a new television project.

Netflix could just syndicate it to pay Tv like sky.
