I guess you didn't actually read that article; good headline but that's only the opinion of the author. Personally I disagree with him although I'm sure plenty will think otherwise.
Clarkson Suspended from BBC and no top gear this week!!
- Thread starter Rooter
- Start date

Yet 350 million pound worldwide think it's doing pretty well right now
Telly programs don't stop when they are popular and Top Gear is one of the most popular in the world
It's an entertainment program and it's entertains people of all ages and sex

Not sure why you're so touchy about my opinion. I used to love Top Gear and watched it religiously. Now when I tune in I find it pretty sadly going through the motions, rehashing the old stuff and generally failing to recapture the things that made it great. It's all far too contrived nowadays.
At the very least it needs a revamp. In my opinion, of course.
I thoroughly agree 100%

Was just trying to show that the "terminal decline" statement can't really be pointed towards a program that is massively popular around the world. You believe it needs a revamp - not sure to what can be done differently when it seems the format is working very well for the program and BBC
What do they need to change ? Or why change something that works so successfully ?

Agree 100%
I use to have it on series link on sky.
I don't even bother watching now.
Clarkson is too far up his own backside & not funny at all, & the other 2 just massage his ego.
Far too scripted.
Remember when they use to drive & review real everyday cars?

I meant the quality of the programme was in terminal decline, I have no view on its popularity or otherwise.

How many times can they race across Europe & one just win by 100yrds?
Obviously millions of people like it,but it's just getting a bit boring now,IMO of course.
It's a modern day 'Last of the summer wine'

But it's an entertainment program and with it being popular then that's its quality ?
It's supposed to entertain people and that's what it is doing. - on a very very large scale ?
What should be changed or indeed why ?

It was a genuine question - what changes would you like to see to the program ?

Allegedly aimed a punch at a producer.

I don't really care, they've already lost me as a viewer. In my opinion, they should stop endlessly rehashing the same idea over and over, the same jokes and ever more obviously contrived set ups. They need to do something different, that's the crucial point, do something different or just stop. It's boring now - there's no difference between watching the latest edition or some repeat on "Dave".
And has been the same way for at least five years

Just because it has good viewing figures, doesn't mean it's a "quality" programme. Popular,yes, quality - not necessarily so.
I dont mean this to do with top gear, just generally. X factor, strictly etc to me aren't quality, but they are very popular.

I'm curious as to how people would know it's contrived, boring etc if they don't watch it, and if they do watch it, again, I'm curious as to why you would watch something you didn't like.
