I tend to agree that they're well over their peak, but I still watch it because there's really nothing like it on tv imho.

Weren't they confirmed for signing with Netflix or is that still just a rumour?

Netflix are pumping out some serious gold, it could be nice to have BBC's golden trio under new control, maybe with some oversight and a fresh take on the format.
Maybe give May his segment, he's done some great stuff on his own that'll just never get the recognition Top Gear does.

There's all ways this could go, but if they signed up for example with Netflix, the format will get a serious overhaul so I wouldn't dismiss it from the get go.

Luckily for you, most of the senior board members of the BBC together with Jeremy Clarkson's closest friends and family are all congregated in one post where you can ask them.

To save you wading through every page I can tell you that it has been proved comprehensively that Jeremy Clarkson was completely entitled to punch the producer, indeed it would have been rude of him not to.

And anyway it was all a big conspiracy that the producer was in on.

And the BBC sux balls. Or something.

It's an enlightening glimpse into the intimate workings of the BBC, Clarkson's mind, and many other areas that your average man wouldn't have a hope of accessing normally.

Jeremy Clarkson is not allowed to make a car show with ITV for two years, according to terms of his last contract with the BBC, reports say.

The contract, believed to be worth around £3m a year, contained a clause preventing him from signing with a rival British broadcaster for a fixed term after finishing work on Top Gear.

The revelation makes on-demand streaming services Amazon and Netflix the most likely home for any new show fronted by Clarkson and his former Top Gear colleagues, James May and Richard Hammond. Amazon and Netflix both broadcast in the UK but are based in the US so would not be covered by the clause.

However, he could make a show for a non-UK company which a UK company could then buy in. Just saying...

Would the non-compete clause apply even though he was fired, as opposed to leaving of his own accord?

He wasn't fired though was he ?

His contract was not renewed.

Its not the same.
