Now that it's been leaked, he can just not answer the door, right? -- nm - Mop Mar 24, 19:45
You can tell because their knuckles are turning white. -- nm - Any Given Wednesday Mar 24, 19:28
Crap! That really sucks. :-( They show can't go on with someone else. They can try but it won't be the show everyone loves. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 18:26 10
- I don't know that I'll miss it. Six, maybe ten eps a year. The Stig's not even in all of them recently. - Max Mar 24, 19:31
- they were 4 or 5 shows from the end of their contract. I think it is mostly to 'save face' they are firing him -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 24, 18:30 8
  - They were about to sign extensions for three more years. The BBC doesn't want to lose the show. It's a cash cow and I believe their most watched show. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 18:31 7
    - yes. this is also true -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 24, 18:38 6
      - He deserves to be fired but it really, really, really, really sucks. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 18:46 5
        
        I have seen only a handful of the shows over the years, but Clarkson has always come off as an obnoxious boor, and the other 2 as hapless foils. yet - Peglegpete Mar 24, 19:26 4
        
        Yeah, I caught one that I believe you posted and it was fascinating. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 20:23
        
        Top Gear is a show that gets me to laugh.my.arse.off like no other - zeitgeist Mar 24, 19:33 2
        
        I think I love May the most. He's so dry but really makes me laugh. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 20:24
        
        well, you know my opinion. NBC should have traded Brian Williams to the BBC for him. - Peglegpete Mar 24, 19:44
