There you have it. I dont want to be bribed onto Amazon Prime, it feels so cheap that they took away free shipping in orer to force you onto it, but the Prime selection of films and TV isnt all that bad... and until UK Netflix has the same selection as US.. it may be worth checking out.

6 quid a month to watch "top gear".

 

[DampCat]

Yeah. So half price.

 

[Tummy]

There is more to Netflix than Top Gear (which is on there at the minute, 7 seasons) and this new car show.

Netflix is amazing value for money, as is the BBC.

What is interesting, is how this does in comparison to the new look Top Gear on the BBC. The old format was boring and needed a refresh, maybe this way there will be two good 'car' / entertainment shows available now.

^ bit harsh

 

[MagicBoy]

Business Insider is clickbait. I'll wait for a reputable source.

 

[Glanza]

This story gets recycled every few days.

As for netflix £6 a month is amazing value considering how much is on there.

 

[Hotwired]

Should be interesting to see if they can match the production quality the BBC could do.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Yeah. So half price.

And you have the choice not to watch and not pay for it.

 

[oldbag]

Should be interesting to see if they can match the production quality the BBC could do.

If it goes to Netflix they will surpass it.

 

[Rybo89]

Netflix is worth every penny. It is massive and the Netflix originals are very good.

Should be interesting to see if they can match the production quality the BBC could do.

I wasn't too keen on bad filters, camera shake and music being played over the engine notes anyway.

That presented the biggest show on tv in the world.
That will be why they refuse to 'flush' as you so eloquently put it.

 

[Howard]

And you have the choice not to watch and not pay for it.

You don't have to pay for a TV License if you don't watch live TV.

You don't have to pay for a TV License if you don't watch live TV.

It's hardly expensive. Stop being a tramp and cough up

 

[Freefaller]

Well I'd happily join netflix for this - whilst they didn't get it right every time, the show appeals to my neanderthal brain so rather enjoyed it, so hope to see it available in the future.

I will give the "new" TG show a try, but I'm not holding out much hope and I can't stand Chris Evans but will give it a go.

 

[mccarf]

Hope it works out for them. I enjoyed some episodes of top gear and found others a little bit frustrating. They can clearly make better content but they don't seem to try very hard sometimes (particularly the last few seasons). Hopefully the netflix reboot will be constant high quality episodes rather than hit and miss ones.

 

[MassiveJim]

took their time!

Why should we have to pay a Private company any money?

The BBC licensing rights should be revoked, make them advertise and provide it free.

OR

Make it a subscription service.

I've recently signed up to Netflix and don't know why I didn't sooner, so much on there! Think weve had it just over a month and it's in use pretty much every day.

And thats WAY more than than we watched any BBC produced rubbish.

I'll definatley be watching this show if it comes off, Unsure o the Chris Evans attempt tho
