*Unofficial* Top Gear UK Fan Club!

BUT WHOS THE STIG?

We'll never know... 

I really hope that the boys wil be picked up by Netflix. They'll have a lot more freedom than on normal TV, I imagine. It also would make it a lot easier to watch it if you're not in the UK.

I really am not sure, the BBC is incredibly lenient if you are a successful show, far more than any other network as they don't need to appease advertisers. Netflix however may be as lenient due to the setup there.

You're right, what I meant was that normal TV is mostly financed by ads (apart from the BBC of course), while Netflix has paying customers. If the three were picked by ITV, then the show would have a main sponsor like Peugeot. This would make it difficult for the three to call Peugeot out on their crappy cars. Netflix on the other hand doesn't have ads, so this issue is less likely to appear

Watched the final episode. Depressing is all I can really say. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

So any one know the scoop of what's going on with the show since Clarkson got fired? Is Hammond and May staying? Or are they getting a whole new cast? I think they could do the show with May and Hammond still and NOT bring any one new in.. It would lose the feel of top gear if they had a new cast..

Clarkson, Hammond and May have just signed with amazon prime to make a new series which will air next year. Meanwhile on the BBC Chris Evans will be producing and presenting a new look top gear with new hosts and possibly a new set, which should also air next year.

Andy Wilman (Former producer of Top Gear) signed with Amazon too, so the core team is now with Amazon. I hope, they'll be able to get as talented authors as they had on BBC as well as an good crew.

Considering on original top gear, it was largely the presenters, especially Clarkson, who did a vast amount of the writing and main ideas, so they've already got the main talent for writers with them.

Anyone else notice how during the 'investigation' and when the BBC were a part of Clarkson they were calling it a fracas, yet in the recent news spot about them going to Amazon they bluntly said 'punched the producer'? 

 

I think someone is but hurt ;)

Without a doubt they are not happy especially that Hammonda and May left. I expect it to be even worse if the new Top Gear is a flop.
