...the BBC have handled this whole issue clumsily and with their head up their arse of political correctness. The BBC management has permanently damaged its stature in my eyes and shown themselves to be a set of unimaginative, politically correct, stuffy old shirts who are out of touch with their audience...
This is effectively what Clarkson has been suggesting for years surely it didn't take this whole debacle for you to see it too. 
Is there any real point to your post? Did it really add any value to the thread? Or are you just being a confrontational arse just for the sake of it?
I watched the program this morning on Iplayer, there isn't many programs on TV that can make you belly laugh when watching alone but they managed it!
Their attempts to sail
Hammond on the roof of the plane and all the simple subtle comedy like turning up in the Frontera and driving straight over the mount of mud are what made Top Gear great.
As with almost every episode it had its moments that dragged, but this is more than made up for by the brilliant bits.
I really hope is isn't an end of an era and with funding now from Netflix they can use the same ingredients but make an even better more entertaining program.
Edit: Although I would've loved it to have ended with a 5 minute montage of all their greatest and funniest moments. That really would have been a emotive and fitting end.

He owns an Aston, so he must know a little bit about them.
He hated his Aston and sold it.
t. t. He then made the link between being a tt, and being an Aston Martin owner, and bought a mental old Volvo instead.Apparently.

Its being repeated on BBC2 sat 4th july at 9.30pm according to my freesat tv guide
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05n7bnw/top-...Have seen loads of people saying it was getting long in the tooth, and that it needed a "refresh", but nobody has actually been able to say what their idea of that would entail?? All I read it as is; someone who doesn't like it as it stands. But since everything is subjective, and you can't please everyone, it's like me saying something I don't like, needs a "refresh" i.e. "Eastenders needs a refresh".
So what's a "refresh" going to entail?

Stopping the 'Oh no! I've set fire to the bin, by putting a bit of burning paper in it!' type of humour would be a start IMO!So what's a "refresh" going to entail?

Spooky... my friend who works for the BBC says it's going to be Sue Perkins and Russell Brand as co presenters to Evans.
That's the funniest thing I've heard for ages The killer is the new Stig. The insider is adamant it is Marcus Brigstock. And the car..? Prius and Pious in one hit.

Probably three new presenters with new ideas was my idea of a 'refresh'. As mentioned in the previous page it was more that I would like Top Gear to have finished properly with the current presenters and they could probably have done one more series as a grand goodbye. Then a break and someone else have a go in the future.So what's a "refresh" going to entail?

I hope that's a joke, did you not see 'The Classic Car Show'? She has to be one of the worst presenters on television, even worse than Glenister. I can't imagine much worse than Evans, Kidd and Glenister together.
+1except if you add in QW
My 0.02p - certain parts, the star is the same old car for example, had become a bit dry yes, but the general format of three blokes acting like t
ts, predominantly in or around cars was one of the few programmes I'd make an effort to watch. As has been said, the bit when May landed face down, the Keystone Cops front half of a Frontera is slapstick of its finest. Simple honest, no apologies, childish "some poo has come out" humour.Whilst I cant condone smacking anyone at work and Clarkson got his just desserts, its true that one of the silliest and most entertaining TV shows of our generation has gone. I felt sad last night as my son has just turned 10 and is just old enough to get it....
Still, he can watch them all on Dave...
