They've talked about cancelling Top Gear for a while now, haven't they?

yes they have, but before it was mainly for noise pollution around the track, but now it's for a much more serious problem.

I wouldn't be surprised if BBC do decide to pull the plug on Top Gear, it would be sad but I wouldn't be surprised.

With Top Gears enormous success, I wouldn't be surprised if another network picked it up.

Last time Channel 5 did and look at what happened :x

Doesn't Richard Hammond host that bizarre science show Brainiac? What's happening with that? If BBC drops Top Gear, it could move to whatever network it is that shows Brainiac.

I fear it will be a fight hard to win :? but I will participate to everything possible to save it. I already wrote to Top Gear to ask them how I can support them.

Maybe we (internet people) will have to launch a new tv channel for Top Gear :P :wink:

Host it on JW! A good revenue raising idea.

The only thing they need is a car... and the good script and the funny TG crew will make the rest :? no need to race a top-fuel dragster against a Smart ForTwo to show which is faster, or to set a new 'indoor land speed record' with a F1 racer - this is useless and dangerous stuff that nobody wants... I just want to see the 599 and the LP640 around the TG airfield, or Clarkson making fun of the S65 AMG electronic gizmos... we just need this - even the Stigg 'hot' laps could be removed from the show IMO :? :?

Sometimes - the simpliest, the better... :bah:

Just my two cents... :wink:
I agree with all of that, but the stigg must stay dani :D

Well Jabba - it looks like the time is almost ripe for our big surprise... ;)

You'd think they'd be falling over each other to take the show on.

Remco558 09-27-2006 08:05 AM
some guys started a petition to keep the show on air. if you wan't topgear to stay on screen you can sign it. it might just make a difference...
