The 'new series' 'Best of Top Gear' hasn't been cancelled - the final episode of the 'Best of Top Gear' which has now been running for 2 or 3 weeks has been postponed indefinitely. Also, the BBC are now debating whether to air the new series of Top Gear which was due to start one week after this - i.e. October the 1st.

according to the sun today, page 5, i quote...
BBc bosses have decided to indefinitely postpone a new series of best of top gear. The first programme was due to air on Sunday October 1st.

They have also scrapped Richards new daredevil show Dangerous Britain - where he was due to tackle hazardous landscapes.

Looks like he's going to make it - whether that means there are any long trm effects, I don't know, but here's hoping he'll make a full recovry!

Clarkson's piece in the sun is very good. When he stops being a ****, hes actually a very eloquent writer.

There is not a hope while Jeremy, James, and now thankfully, the Hamster are still standing, that they will let the show be canned.

Jeremy Clarkson In his column in todays SUN said:
The campaign to have us taken off the air — sparked curiously, by the BBC’s own news website — will now be ramped up, fuelled by the environmentalists and spearheaded by muddle-headed road safety campaigners.

Richard is winning his fight. And now mine begins. To make sure that he has a show to come back to.

To cancel the series after nation held breath for one of it's clearly most loved presenters is without a doubt like defending world from hackers by pulling a plug on the whole internet.
 
Hey, don't shoot the messenger! :p. I want Top Gear to continue. It brings up great memories such as the breaking of a £1m car wash with a custom made people carrier convertable, smashing up of numerous caravans and Star in a reasonably priced car.
 
Haha, just read JC's article on The Sun site. Funniest piece of journalism I've read in a long time.

Later, he looked across at James May and said: “Hello ***k face.”

Despite all the odds, it seemed we’d got our Hamster back . . .

Today, people who have absolutely no idea at all of how television works, (Yes, columnist Neil Lyndon — that’s you, you sanctimonious, rent-a-soundbite little t**d) are saying that our producers push us to do more and more dangerous stunts in a bid for ratings.

Yes, I guess that sums up what we feel about him... (see Daily Mail Column).

That was faked, I used the same car wash half an hour after they left it. ;)

The Stig being launched of the end of the aircraft carrier is my best memory of the show.

a lot of top gear is faked - especially the fact that nearly every "race" they have is v.v.close ... especially the huge cross country one's. i don't think it makes it any less fun!!!

Would you also like to know it took them eight hours to shoot the scene driving round the high speed bowl at Millbrook, because the thing kept falling to bits, even when they did not want it too.
Who am I too complain though eight hours overtime on a sunday, lovely jubbly. :D
 
BBC was perfect home for Top Gear, anywhere else their 60 minute show would be cut to 40 minutes with stream "Dr. Kalashnikov brain training on Nintendo DS", "Quote me happy" and "National Accident Heckline got me cheque for £7,500" quite literally in the middle of the of races and cliffhangers. Top Gear for many of us was also the only reason to pay the world's most expensive subscription to allegedly free TV service in form of TV license (and no BBC World or News 24 is not sponsored by license). Point to petitions gentlemen. Grab your pens and let's go, let's do it.
 
A superb article in the Sun. And I'm normally the first to slate that paper!

As for that pillock in the mail, I've always said the mail is awful, there's more proof.
 
Glad to hear he's up and about, and slowly getting better. JC's article in The Sun is great, really good stuff.

Hope the bbc/health & safety people don't get rid of TG. We need to see the 3 of them back together on that show,the last thing Hammond would want would be for TG to be cancelled. :(
