Re: Top Gear is back
There was an England One Day International on at the same time, which I'm surprised Chris didn't have on, and I'd rather watch Root and Woakes over boring LeBlanc any day. I saw the last 3 minutes of...

Re: Top Gear is back
I can get Amazon Prime free for 6 months as I have an NUS card, then half price after that but I've never really seen the point.

Anyone watched GT or whatever it's called on Amazon Prime? I understand it's gone live now.

I got bored quite quickly. Same old stuff. I'm looking forward to the new presenters.

Re: Top Gear is back
I got increasingly fed up with Top Gear being about stunts and egos rather than cars. But for me TV ended when good old Delia stepped out of the kitchen and started making shows showing us her...

Re: Top Gear is back
Top Gear stopped being about cars a long time ago. Most people who watch it probably don't know any more about cars than where their ignition key goes in.
It's an entertainment show nowadays, not...

Maybe they made him an offer too good to refuse. I don't mean cash, he doesn't need it.

Re: Top Gear is back
So it's Chris Evans after all, with a whole new line up.
I've worked with him a few times over the years in both a music and cricket capacity and he's likeable and doesn't seem to have an ego...

Technically you can't sack a freelancer, you can terminate or not renew their contract, which ends on the last day of March.

Interesting that several TV channels or corporations have already come forward to say 'Yes he's very entertaining but we won't be offering him a contract'.
If they have a company policy of not...

Flying boats, earthquakes, drug busts, drive through bars, voodoo, Simon Reeve's tanned biceps... this is way better than Top Gear!

Re: Top Gear is back
If you ever go to the Science Museum with the kids do pay the money to do the Red Arrows experience. It's great fun. A sort of 3D ride with a pilot eye view and seats that throw you around.

Piers Morgan is up there on the massive ego total c0ck scale. The only reason he wanted guns banned in the USA while living there was because most people probably wanted to shoot him.

The show isn't funded by licence payers really, it's owned wholly by BBC World who are the commercial arm of the BBC. Previously Clarkson owned 50% of the show but he sold his share in 2012, which...

Re: Top Gear is back
Sounds like Top Gear this week will be replaced by Simon Reeve's Caribbean. I'm quite happy with that. He's rather delicious, way nicer to look at than any of the TG3.
