Jetpilot Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 Whilst TOP GEAR was airing last night it did seem slightly eerie with the demise of Clarkson. Heart felt as it was to be the end of an era, the other two guys did well to hold it together. Well done guys :) Did anyone notice the Elephant strategically placed on the set, in the room? yep, why wasn't clarkson there for the final bit ? Personally i think it was a little poor taste that he wasnt allowed to do the very final take in the studio, yes i know he punched a producer etc, but it would have been a fitting end for the bbc to allow him to thank everyone. Whilst i enjoyed the episode on the most part, it was just too odd he wasnt around in the studio but was in the footage, almost like he had died, i actually dont know why they aired it to be honest (let alone the lack of advertising it had), still pulled in 5.3 million viewers.

LRF4N Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Missed this but by the sounds of it not worth going on iplayer for it? One thing that annoyed me about top gear was the money they wasted. When the leave the beeb (if the trio continue elsewhere) then I might start enjoying their antics without worrying about paying for my tv licence Still not convinced with Chris Evans but hopefully he will prove me wrong Quote
ZEUS Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 yep, why wasn't clarkson there for the final bit ? Because he had been "sacked". ahh yes, that could be it Quote

Jetpilot Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 Is Chris Evans quitting his Radio 2 show then? No plans to apparently, but then he didnt have "any interest" in TG, so who knows Quote

I agree entirely, which is why I raised it initially without thinking. like you mentioned, it was almost like he had died. shame to let the show fizzle out like that. he should of been allowed to to the final 10 minutes Quote

No probably about it, Top Gear was one of only a few BBC programmes to make a profit (and a significant one at that). Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Worst episode ever, such a let down. Not funny at all. So not funny that I just fell asleep watching it. Quote
350zroadsterGT Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 So is ITV official now?? Press has said over the last few days that Netflix are making it and ITV will run it at the same time as tg on the BBC. That'll be interesting in the ratings? Saw today that Jodie Kidd is confirmed in the new line up, sorry but I found her awfull in the classic car show, the gushing descriptions of the 250 gto was a particular low point, it was like Nigella was doing the script. Looks like I will be watching ITV then. http://automotivejustice.com/netflix-deal-brings-jeremy-clarkson-and-former-co-hosts-of-top-gear-back-to-our-screens/ Quote

350zroadsterGT Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I reccon the first series, or two... Or three... They will play it safe, everyone will be looking at the ratings and if they don't get them the lineup will change. It took years for the boys to build their relationship, and the banter that passes between them is natural to three friends, could you see Kidd calling Evans a "Co#k"... And what could he say about her? Its the end of an era (for the beeb). Quote
Ekona Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 No-one and nothing has been announced. It will be all over the press when it has. 1 Quote

veilside z Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Suzi Perry would be good. She's great at F1, although she is away 20 weeks of the year with the sport, so probably wouldn't have time. Plus she's easier on the eye. Quote
