Just seen what The Beeb is replacing Top Gear with

its beginning to look like you are in the minority
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
In the minority? Yes. Does this mean he is wrong though?

top gear was about "cars" and bombed, the beeb cancelled it and the presenters moved to channel five and started Fithgear, and look at the world wide coverage that gets. people don't want 20 minutes on the latest family saloon, they will either look up the spec and reviews online if they are in the market for one or shock horror go test drive one themselves people like to see cars that most will never own driven like we would like, and this combined with the batter you used to get in the pub makes for entertainment but the hand wringing gardinista hate that and if we have to put up with those muppets Milliband and Brand then give me Clarkson anyday

It ran from 1977 (featuring Angela Rippon none-the-less) to 2001. But yes, after a mere 14 years it bombed.

problem was it was still using the 77 format in 2001 and that's not what the public wanted

There must be a thousand people who could take Clarkson's place, and even do a better job of it. Acting the pillock isn't rocket surgery.

I like Top Gear (but the American version SUCKED). Has it really been cancelled? Someone was fired/suspended? Who? What for?

Yes. Or at least the next two episodes.

Clarkson, apparently for throwing a punch at a producer over "dinner arrangements"
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

the more and more I read the more I think its that Danny bloke, who has had it in for Top gear, seemingly he has tried to can it previously and is rumoured to have been behind the lead of the un-broadcast footage

Clarkson is a pretty bright bloke, very creative, who acts the pillock very well, while knowing what he is doing. He is the driving force behind the program, writes most of it, and is responsible for the whole format - he re-invented it after the (frankly dull) Old Top Gear died a death. If the BBC is involved in selecting a replacement, it will be someone who has no sense of humour but a vast sense of his / her own self-importance. (And a solid eye on making at least as much money as Clarkson did)

Actually Chris Evans seems to be the prime candidate

Hate to say this: but that's going to upset the Islamic Fundamentalists. Either they have to have a cartoon Quran (which will upset them) or they can't believe a word it says (which will upset them).

one is a niche program and the other is the most successful factual program in the world, syndicated to over 50 different countries would seem that the comedy wins

Every time. My first reaction was to scoff at the factual part but I guess it still is, just spiced with plenty of chuckles and pratfalls.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
