Beginning of the end of TG perhaps, or certainly in its current format?

I know it still has a wide following but I think the programme lost its way a few years back and does need a rethink to bring it more up to date.

I am inclined to agree

It tends to be something to watch on a Sunday evening because there is bugger all else on!!

If JC goes, no-doubt someone like Sky will snap him up.

I could not even record this sunday as Midwife rubbish and something else that had to be recorded  :'(

Watched it last night - still find it a pleasure to watch though (most bits).

To be honest i'm the same as above, i watch it because its the only thing to watch on a sunday night, but its the same old repetitive crap each week, loads of tyre smoke and pointless set up races car vs...., and personally i normally go brew up or something when star in a reasonably priced car is on as i find 90% of them so boring.
Love clarkson as a presenter and as a writer on his articles for having (alot of the time) balls to say what others are thinking on some subjects.

Jezzer IS Top Gear. I have signed the petition to re-instate him I hope you lot will too, or my Sunday nights will never be the same. Although I will find other things to occupy me if necessary  ;)

Ironing? I put the shirts in the wet room when I'm having a long hot one and the creases drop out no prob O:-)
More likely polishing my riding helmet  :P

On the subject of faux pas by presenters, check out John Inverdale's new take on rose-tinted spectacles!  :o :))

No, sorry but I wont be signing any petition. He is amusing and can have the balls to say what others won't, but if he's done something serious enough to be instantly suspended and Sunday's show cancelled then he like anyone else needs to be punished. To big for his boots. As I said before, some one will take him on so he will be fine.

Top Gear isn't the same fun as it used to be. I've missed most episodes this season.

Top Gear isn't the only thing that's not as much fun lately... O:-)
