…that the Vauxhall Astra will be sold as “celebrity owned, low mileage, perfect condition!” and that James is secretly pocketing millions off his invention of the continually recharging electric car.
All we know is - this is such a shame.
James changed his twitter bio to ‘former tv presenter’ as well
hope they stay together.
Jeremy and Andy Millman (think that’s his name) sold Top Gear rights back to the BBC last year, and with his contract ending this year, word was that he had no intention of renewing. This seems a convenient way to move on.
They will surely have a show on an international platform that is commercialised and that they all own. Looking forward to it.
nice.
Here is the scoop I got.
Jeremy got fired for a long list of things. The BBC threatened to fire him several times in the past due to his being typical Jeremy.
The stig gathered over 1.3million signatures trying to stop the BBC from letting thus happen.
Both Richard and James said top gear is a package and no Jeremy no them.
Top gear was crazy in the viewer rankings with huge numbers. Like saki said they can go start a show on any chanel at any place and people will watch. I know I will.
That’s what I got not sure if anyone heard anything else.
BBC just lost the most watched show…in the world.
While I will say Clarkson absolutely should not be able to get away with improper behavior just because he is a big personality, BBC is known for being inordinately politically correct. I have no doubt a significant amount of these “warnings” were the result of BBC being a bunch of overly sensitive tree huggers.
anyone know what the revenue the show generates is for the BBC?
one billion dollars
the BBC is going to have some MAJOR budget problems down the line lol
I wonder what would have happened without the fracas? i.e. the 3 contracts were up for renewal at the end of the month, if I’ve understood correctly. Maybe they would have moved after this series anyway?
I think either way we’ll see the 3 of them on the telly again together. Everyone bar Clarkson left the BBC in 2002 to form 5th gear. Look out for their new show on Sky… “Reverse Gear” lol
For those missing Jeremy’s voice and Top Gear

Wow, I knew it was a lot, but that’s hard to comprehend.
Looks like they might be going to NetFlix:

Anyways it’s quite awesome they want to stick together!
