It's my favorite show. I hate reality tv, don't watch Walking Dead/Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad. Pretty much the only thing I watch other than sports

They had a situation a little while ago when they were filming an episode in Argentina where they upset the locals and had to be evacuated out of the country before the lynch mob caught up with them. Clarkson had a license plate that Argentinians were interpreting as mocking them for losing the Falklands war. Pretty silly, but the locals were ready to hunt them down and kill them.

I'm sure we can work it into more threads here for starters

The show has around 300 million viewers around the world and accounts for (by some estimates) nearly a third of BBC revenue. If he gets fired, the gravy train is over and he takes it to Netflix or another network.

I'm just pissed that they might not get around to testing the P1, LaFerrari and 918 Spyder.

That is a good point about netflix. Show would probably be better on a network/site that would give them more freedom. It's literally the only thing I watch regularly on tv. I think most other TV programming today pretty much sucks.

I agree, and on that note, we should use bollocks and balderdash more often as well.

Clarkson's suspension has created quite the brouhaha

 

[dare2be]

It started out as a fracas, progressed into a brouhaha, and ended up fizzling out without much hullabaloo.

 

[dare2be]

At least it didn't reach pandemonium levels.

I watch Top Gear, Sherlock and documentary type shows that occasionally show up on History or Science channel. That's about it besides hockey.

In fact, I actually download the new episode every Sunday after it airs in Britain. Super Bowl Sunday, I was watching Top Gear.
