Topgear ought to be about cars - ordinary and extraordinary - but not lifting, dropping and destroying an old caravan high up using a crane. Another was the celebrity in a reasonably priced car: What was all that about? Who cared whether they could drive or not?
Topgear in African or some other places in the world: Who'd give a toss except the 3 presenters...only boosting their bank balance. I believe it lost its plot and appeal (to me, anyway) when it began not focusing on the vehicles but instead cloning about making themselves more important and integral than the vehicles themselves. Stig was good stuff though. |

Totally agree with Clarkson (about the BBC) and he's a TV legend.
If you agree with someone of course you think they're correct, it's silly to say otherwise. |

TG wasn't that successful but Clarkson and co turned it into a huge world wide success, making huge amounts of money for the BBC and themselves.
It became and entertainment show with a bit of a car theme, you have to accept it for what it was. I personally didn't watch it much but I wouldnt' watch a stale car show either. Doesn't 5 do one called 5th gear if you want that, or used to? Of course the BBC will have squandered the income on rubbish and HUGE salaries for mediocre talent and biased journalists but there you go... |

To be fair, actually punching someone was probably over the limit
But the BBC have lost getting rid of Clarkson...you cannot replace someone like him Still Clarkson and the BBC was always a match made in hell He must must have insulted just every country on earth at one or another ...but it was all humurous, he was only ever serious about cars |

There was a time when the BBC was respected for it's impartiality and quality...sadly no more.
Although at the moment BBC4 is very good. There are presenters of both sexes presenting their documentaries, the only criteria being for knowledge of a subject and their ability to present it, which is as it should be. I hope they can keep it like that. Good documentary in the week. 'The Armada 12 days to save England' presented by Dan Snow and other good historians. Oh yes, Drake did not relax playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe when the Armada was sighted. His fleet was trapped in Plymouth by adverse tides and wind he was not able to leave harbour, he was a very frustrated man. Luckily the wind and tide changed in the evening and the English fleet left Plymouth. Spoils a good story though oh well. |
