Smoke sent for Top Gear.
Easily one of the best shows ever created with humor and a budget that would make most big screen producers jealous.
Let's get a rolling list of the best episodes for the noobs in our midst.
Vietnam special. Just epic cinematography and bleeding with culture, this is without a doubt worthy of watching with friends. Plus the backup bike (no spoilers) is just effing hilarious.
Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest.

Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

If I'm not mistaken there's 2 networks in the UK that have already said they want him. Bidding war for the services of Mr. Clarkson? Hamster and Slow have already said they will not do the show without him so maybe Top Gear lives on with a new name and network?
Great show. Hope it doesn't go away entirely. I'd hate to have to resort to watching Top Gear US....
ETA: Fire the cast of Top Gear US and hire these 3.....

Hopefully on a network not answerable to sponsors - like Netflix or HBO. Else we'll get another American Top Gear (except with better chemistry between the leads - assuming that they'd be OK with doing a show where they aren't allowed to offend a car maker).Originally Posted by Coal Dragger

Top Gear and Netflix seems like an ideal solution, they control the content the way they want it, they got away with a lot on the BBC, I think any other network will want more control of programming
I perfer black coffee in the morning, bourbon in evenings and spending money on sh*t I probably don't need.

Good riddance. Show was pretty goofy.

Everyone has their opinion. Yours is wrong.A couple members and I have been texting back and forth on this topic the last few days. This sucks. I absolutely love that show and man was I looking forward to the (hopeful) show down between the LaFerrari, 918, and the P1. If you guys follow the show...maybe we could've ended the series with a Jennifer Clarkson.
There is a rumor that BBC's competitor, ITV, may pick up the trio. Obviously under another name. Best show on TV...hate to see this but good on Hammond & May.

And just to throw this out there I really think James May/Captain Slow sandbags to keep up the funny stigma of being Captain Slow. Think about it. He's been given driving tips by the likes of Mika Hakkinen (the only other F1 driver that Michael Schumacher said made him nervous), Jackie Stewart, etc. Has been driving fast cars for years. Even owns a Ferrari 458. Honestly don't care though if he is. The Captain Slow moniker and the way Clarkson and Hammond pick on him about it cracks me up.

Transmorgrified to another network, and the name "Top Gear" doubtless having been the object of much attention from BBC barristers and trademark examiners @.gov.uk, I predict the show will be called......
"Second Gear".
Which, yes, I get it, "top gear" is the last gear, the gear furthest from 1st, but who's to say whether that last gear be 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th, so, "second" is the logical choice. Sez me.
