Steve Coogan Killing the fird Probe thanks to Gareth 'i'm a tiger ' Cheeseman ...
Steve Coogan killed the Probe..? 
I wouldn't buy a Probe, and I didn't even know Coogan had said a word about it.
I think you'll find the Probe killed itself.

The guardian and Telegraph all reporting the 3 + the director have been in long meetings with ITV so should be all sorted soon
I do hope this is true - i'd hate TG (or whatever it will be called) going to Sky.If we get TG by another name on ITV - and a new format of TG on the BBC with decent presenters - we may actually end up better off than we were before. We may also get more series or longer series of ITVTG as i'm sure ITV will want to milk it for all it's worth.

the quest ion is will ITVs owners and shareholders stomach the risk of losing advertising from one or more makers when Jeremy has another 'Vectra moment' ...
No idea - but it doesn't seem to bother Dave.The easy answer is to only let him lose on supercars or cars no longer in production - hence not advertised.
Who wants to see reviews of consumer models anyway - if I want to know what a run of the mill car is like - i'll go and test drive one, doing so will tell me more than Clarkson ever could.

The downside to it being on a commercial channel is that top gear will go from 60 minutes to 48 minutes
Yep - but then again, some recent episodes did contain quite a lot of "filler" material.mph1977 said:

Here in Australia it has adverts and consumes a one hour slot - We just dont get all the filler material that you guys have to suffer!
I'd much rather "suffer" filler material than have to endure adverts.Silent1 said:

More like 40 mins isn't it. Still amazes anyone thinks TG will be better away the BBC. Problem with going to Sky, I ditched my subscription recently because apart from Seinfeld repeats there was nothing on there I watched, I'm not going to get Sky again for a few measly episodes of TG every year.
