I didn't read it to the end but... is he starting a new car show? I hope he does.

Well he says he wants to, Although no one knows where he's going to do it. Sky, ITV and Channel 4 have all said they do not have anything in the works with the trio.

Who thinks they'll team up with Tiff and rejuvenate 5th Gear?

Big news everyone!


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32819280


 


Jeremy Clarkson has stated that being sacked from top gear has "left a big hole in my life." The presenter has also gone on to state that a number of other broadcasters have attempted to take the troublesome trio for their own means, to which Clarkson has stated "I'd be a fool to jump into something." which could potentially debunk rumours that netflix are close to agreeing a deal with Clarkson, Hammond and May to form a new show apparently called "house of cars"

If Netflix do something with Clarckson and the other two nitwits, I finally have a solid reason to get Netflixs, instead of the reason "You can watch films on it", something I can do when I buy the DVD. But yadda, yadda. I'm willing to spend money, or get my parents to spend money so I can watch something along the lines of what Top Gear was like. I've just been binge watching all their challenges and specials since the show ended. Rather sad and depressing really.

I would get netflix if they went there, but only when the series was on. However, I'd rather that they didn't go to netflix and maybe did something online such as with youtube or something like that. They've always been advocates of free to air TV, so netflix would be a bold move for them to make.

ITV. That's where all the too controversial for BBC went. Jonathan Ross anyone?

Even ITV won't touch Clarkson if they've any sense. their advertisers would be insulted within the first 5 minutes of a show.

And even I remember when TV ads where slightly offensive and no one gave a crap. Now, you raise a middle finger at a lamp post and suddenly everyone's flipping out, feminists and screaming rape and mother's who have too loud of an idiotic voice are crying about how it effected the kids when they shouldn't be watching late night TV anyway.

But think of the children!

 

It's all a load of bollocks these days. No one can get away with a light hearted comment without someone considering it offensive, even if they weren't. I mean top gear is a perfect example of it. The burma special was reported for the slope comment, yet I asked someone who's from burma about the insult and he'd never even heard of it before. People make things up these days just for a reaction and their 5 minutes of fame.

Those social justice warriors that don't understand a playful or light hearted comment. I find it laugh about, people who the joke isn't even about seem to be a lot more easily offended than the people the joke is referring too.
