Top Gear Season 14

[Vigoro]

No just one I pay towards indirectly. Would be a nice station car as opposed to a 1.25 fez

You pay renault?

 

[DreXeL]

12,000 worth of tax payers money for 3 minutes of "entertainement".

Good value? You happy with that?

Yes.

divide 12000 by the amount of viewers...and that is how much each person paid individually.

Probably fractions of a penny

4m people viewing = £0.003p

Don't forget the cost (to the tax payer) of the 4 Chevy Lacetti's Guy Ritchie trashed !!!!

 

[gord]

TopGear seems to bring out the right crazies..

Perspective must be maintained people.

 

[Begbie]

That screen is just awesome!

Ross Kemp in the boot, how random

 

[Gaygle]

4m people viewing = £0.003p

If anyone is bothered about that sort of money, may i suggest switching off your computer 1 second before you normally do. You'll break even, or may even make a small profit!

true. Make that 0.009p then!

 

[thepharcyde]

do you not pay to see films

No I download them, no choice with a TV licence

 

[Skeeter]

I hate this perception that EVERYTHING that is on ANY BBC program on ANY BBC channel is funded ENTIRELY by the TV Licence and that they therefore have some say over it...

Does that mean we have to ignore the fact that top gear is a profit maker for the BBC.

 

[snowdog]

Today's ep was awesome, even the twingo bit was very enjoyable .

Far better than last 2 weeks rubbish .

 

[West]

Joshy in being miserable TOTAL NON SHOCKER.

Perhaps it's Mr Needham?

Cracking stuff tonight, had me in stitches a few times!

 

[SideWinder]

Awful episode.

You don't pay towards it, TG is a profitable show. It is sold all around the world and generates millions for the BBC.

Plus do you honestly think that Twingo was purchased? Renault gave them it. A 30 second commercial in the middle of Corrie would:

a) Cost more
b) Sell less cars.

Tonights Top Gear was fantastic yet still here and on PH we get the usual crowd moaning about it - why do you watch it?

 

[Tute]

It's like people's attitudes towards America - it's just fashionable to hate TG.

 

[Spuderoony]

You don't pay towards it, TG is a profitable show. It is sold all around the world and generates millions for the BBC.

Well, not exactly. I think you need to educate yourself a little as to what the BBC's remit allows it to do with regard to cash generation. There's a big difference between the BBC as we know it and BBC Worldwide which is allowed to turn a profit as it's not funded by the UK taxpayer.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Well, whatever, it amazes me that people whinge so much about what is spent on TG and ignore the money spent on dross like Eastenders.
