Clarkson Suspended from BBC and no top gear this week!!

[bluewolf]

You know that you lot are arguing 2 different things don't you?

I still watch it. It can have some genuinely funny moments. My lad loves it, but he just loves Supercars..

There's no doubting that the quality has dropped, but the appeal to a large audience is still there. It syndicates massively and pumps millions into the BBC coffers.. They won't drop it unless they absolutely have to..

Oh, and TV programs that review everyday cars get about as many viewers as Come Dine with Me.. It is not, nor has it been for many years, a car review program..

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.

Well what would people have to complain about if they didn't watch what they didn't like? It's the national obsession.. Moaning about stuff you aren't obliged to experience.. Pubs and workplaces would be quiet places without all the moaners...

I like top gear. It will be a shame if it's Clarksons last

I've watched it at the in-laws on a Sunday night as the father in law loves his cars and I usually drop hints about having to go so I have seen bits of the current series. I don't watch it at home out of choice in the same way I don't watch contrived and formulated programmes like X Factor and would rather be on here, watch something on catch up or a good documentary, especially if there's not golf on Sky

Used to like it so tune in sometimes but am always disappointed.

I am now no longer curious.

Painfully aware of that!

I use to watch it every week without fail,then started to find it boring & contrived :thup:
Not that confusing really is it

 

[Blue in Munich]

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 ?

Some might suggest that's as much a reflection on the quality of the audience as the quality of the programme.

Spot on

Anyway clarkson has smacked one of the producers last week and the bbc bigwigs only found out about it today!

not just Sunday's program axed but the rest of the series too!

Exactly.
Which is why the likes of Strictly & Ant & Dec are so popular.
It's easy viewing & takes very little concentration to watch.

To be honest who cares if clarkson goes, the replacement will certainly add to it and maybe a new format would freshen and revive a fading platform.

Captain boring is the most informative and appealing of the 3. Clarkson is like boris johnson in a comedy scouse wig, hammond does a good impression of an excitable child, same dimensions and awful presentation ability. If they dont fesshen it leave it on dave where it continually re-RUNS.

I just hope they lose him, I say lose, I mean get rid

Why does he have to watch it EVERY Sunday to have an opinion?
It's pretty much the same every Sunday,that's the point people are trying to make

But you won't know it's the same EVERY Sunday, unless you watch it EVERY Sunday it's on.....and why would you watch it if you didn't like........oh wait, been there.

It's people complaining about something they don't watch anyway

 

[HomerJSimpson]

It's people complaining about something they don't watch anyway

Or people who watch it once in a while (not always by choice) and find it the same each week and an outdated formula

 

[c1973]

I know. :rofl:
