See how the top knobs at the BBC enjoy that .

And ladish entertainment centered around cars, but now it's dead. Hopefully the BBC will respect it's death and not try some resurrection shite with people pretending to be idiots rather than actually being idiots.

When are the majority of the viewers going to go and by one based on a car review?! This world is too serious, politically correct and legislated!! Why on earth do I want to watch something that conforms? Call it whatever you like top gear was about crossing the line, was based on Clarkson! It's Clarkson that made me watch not ferrari's lambo's etc. bbc has made a cock up although they didn't really have a choice! Bbc although politically correct will be the losers I won't be interested in a general car show but will follow jc to his new posting Loads of potential replacements but nah not interested thanks!

It's nothing to do with the show and everything to do with the ability of the BBC's staff to do their work without being mugged by some egomaniac thinking with his fists. It amazes me that the same people lambasting the BBC for having 'a culture of paedophilia' over Saville (where in all likelihood, only one or two people knew anything) are shouting just as loudly to keep this thug employed. Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!
