Please support this:

It's anticipated, following Richard's accident that there will be significant calls to cut the show, please show your support as Jeremy tries to ensure there is a show for Hammond to come back to!

If that is the case they should ban skiing programmes etc. etc. as well because many people get hurt skiing each year therefore it shouldn't be encouraged....you can apply this theory to almost any 'activity' programme on the TV

What a sad state the country is getting to when politically correct health and safety jobswoths can threaten one of Tvs top shows, and about the only one worth wathching out of thirty channels.

Bit hasty with that response! This petition was started before 2 more were found, who's to say which is the 'REAL' one? We're all fighting for the same cause.

It was set up on iPetitions because its a better looking site that PetitionOnline and I can asure you no-one other than that site is making any money, when it was set up we were unaware that it would ask craftily for a donation, but to be honest, its easy to click 'get lost'!

400+ people have managed it so far

Apology accepted! It's hard to tell how people tone things online anyway!

Now let's get TG back on our screens

I want an Elise!

Signed it ! I feel sure we'll soon have TG back on our screens !! It really annoys me when people suggest that the show is "dangerous" - I ask you, which is more dangerous:

A program which involves somebody driving around on an empty airfield which is totally flat, with nothing to hit,

OR

A program which involves somebody rummaging around in bushes worrying deadly snakes ? (no disrespect to Steve Irwin ! A top bloke in my opinion, and totally dedicated to animal welfare)

scratchchin Hmmmm.

I believe both types of program are shown on the BBC too......

It asked me how much donation I wanted to make with a button saying "next" so I just left the page, anyway there are around 29,000 names on the other list including mine so I've registered my views somewhere...
