Top Gear Axed? Yippee!

[thedogsgottago]

Just read that Top Gear may be axed due to poor ratings......oh please please be true!

Noooooooooooooooooo, I love it.

Please please please, can't bear the egos of the presenters, only problem is it's constant repeats on another channel, think it's Dave

It better not be, it's the funniest thing on the beeb.

I hope not too

haha I hate all 3 of them....but must admit the episode where they drove through some southern american states was quite funny. Generally though its poo!

Not a chance, too many v loyal fans!

not according to this

one of BBC2's highest rated shows (apparently)

No it won't be, not only is it popular in the UK but it gets sold to other countries and makes money for the BBC.

Funny how the same interview can lead to 2 different aricles

I doubt it, the show is the BBCs top money earner by selling it to other countries.

I hope they don't axe it... its the only time DH and DS ever do any male bonding.

Doubt it very much, watched and loved by too many.

Question though OP, why would you be so happy? Are you forced to watch it? Does somebody make you sit there and watch it? Can you do nothing else at that time?

Its not like the X Factor or similar where you can;t escape it, its in all the papers and even makes the bloody news.

You have a choice, you don;t like it, don't watch it - simples

Yes Im chained to the sofa forced to watch it with matchsticks propping my eyelids open!
I just think clarksons a knob and shouldnt be on the telly!

i used to hate this but enforced wathing from dh i actually enjoy it more than he does...

I hope this is true. I absolutely loathe the presenters. They are so full of themselves and their alleged "witticisms" are so unfunny. They are like smug 6th Form clever arses who never grew up.

DH will be gutted though.

Oh I love Top Gear. I just don't take any of the presenters seriously. Although (name drop, name drop) I was once presented with an award by Richard Hammond and he is GORGEOUS in RL. Small but perfectly formed!

Bloody hell no, what about my Richard Hammond

tulpe - I couldn't agree more! You expressed my sentiments perfectly.

Clarkson, for example, is a twat.

Dundermuffin

Richard Hammond, for example, is an uber twat.

James May, for example, is King of The Twats.

I imagine they are the kind to recite endless Pythonisms too (not that I am knocking Monty Python - am a huge fan - just not when recited ad nauseum by bunch of twatty blokes )

Massive Top Gear fans at our house. Can't see them cancelling it, just messing with the format a bit.

tulpe nooooo Richard Hammond is lovely

nooo, Poppy - Richard Hammond looks like Maureen Lipman!!

tulpe, so agree with you, smug gits who have never grown up. However DD loves it so I hope it stays. She has no interest in cars but tunes into their humour. She is a soon to be smug 6th former though!

i dont think so, althoguh at times i feel like good god grow up men.

I would be astonished if this were true - the poor ratings or plans to axe it.

We all find it very entertaining and DD is 14 and loves it. In fact I got a DVD of the Challenges for my birthaday (and I asked for it it wasn't a surprise)

I don't see the presenters bas smug at all, just very funny. Incidentally I love James May's Toy Story series too
