So where are we watching Top Gear now? PistonHeads Hosting?

So in the interlude while BBC employees/committees stop acting like small children, MTFU and grow a pair, how are we going to watch the rest of the Top Gear series?

Using my statistics generator I'd guess that less than 1% of Top Gear viewers still watch live broadcast on the BBC.

None of the producers actually need the money/airtime and there are plenty of other ways people can broadcast, so the only ones who'll suffer if this decision sticks are the BBC.

Where are we (the enduring Pistonheads) going to watch Top Gear from in the future? Piston Heads hosted Top Gear anyone? Weekly broadcast? General Youtube channel for the latest episodes?

You know the 'show' hasn't actually been filmed yet don't you?

I'm sure Jeremy could host an interview in an alternative motoring stronghold if the studio is off limits?

Can't imagine an interview can't be filmed between now and whenever it is we get to watch the next episode.

Why have all the TG/Clarkson threads been deleted?
On a side note, I was waiting to hear Evans, ( morning Radio2 dj, a known petrolhead and reasonably priced star in a crap car)...speak about it, he didn't... was he gagged!

Its not just the venue is it.

Crew, equipment, licencing, rights, etc etc etc

its not just the interview thats filmed weekly, its everything in the studio. The news, the standing around cars, the introduction to the videos, even the 'coming up tonight' voice over is done on the wednesday before sundays airing. Filming should be done today for sunday.

He's already gone on Twitter so say no.

Oh Ok, sorry must be something wrong with me as my hearing cannot hear twitter. (And I am not a twit, or whatever people that use that function are called)

That would be "plucked from your hairy chuff", right?

I wasn't, so won't be. I will probably see a few on catchup some time in the future.
