Save Top Gear!

It's the news Top Gear fans have been dreading - the show's boss has hinted that the show is coming to an end as ratings continue to slump.

Andy Wilman, executive producer of the BBC Two programme, also said that he fears the series is turning into a cartoon because the presenters were playing up their on-screen characters too much.
The BBC are hinting at the possibility of ceasing to make anymore Top Gear series. This MUST Not happen. TG is a class show with great presenters. It makes it interesting for not only men but a lot of women watch this too.

Once we reach enough people we will be sending this to the BBC to show how much people want Top Gear on their TV's, so c'mon people send out your invites....please!:)
LEAVE IT OUH!!!

I read that article with the show's producer a couple of weeks ago. It's rubbish, yes the presenters may play up to the camera, but that doesn't stop it from being funny and it's still the best show on TV by a country mile, nothing even comes close. The BBC would be kicking itself in the balls if it axed the show  :disgust:
An empty shell seems so easy to crack.
Got all these questions.
Don't know who I could even ask.
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream.
Where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me.

I can see what the producer is saying but it wont get cancelled.

Top Gear used to, once upon a time, be actually about testing cars and the like, now its more about the presenters doing stuff, funny stuff.

I think he is just bluffing, if it was to get cancelled the boys would just come back with another show on Sky or ITV and it would be just as funny and even less about cars.

It would be a stupid move by the BBC to cancel it.   
clean your ears...Nickelback's guitar work is awesome.

This.


The bolivia special was epic though. They should just do a series full of epic challenges and give the weekly format a rest for a while.

Just because he said it's "closer to the end than the begining" doesn't mean it's ending quite so soon. He just means he realises it's a finite format that will end soon, with some dignity. And I'm all for that.

It's returning in the Spring anyway so the short term is still bright

and any TG fan should really read Wilman's blog on the topic, it's fantastically candid

I actually think the last brilliant Top Gear they made was the Vietnam one. I didn't like the Bolivia one.

The Bolivia special was miles better, at least they actually drove cars in it unlike the Vietnamese one

Hmm but I didn't find it entertaining. The only bit i found funny was when James threatened Jeremy with a machete.

I want Top Gear to end on a high, and if this guarantees it, then so be it. We still have the Dave Channel :cool:
How about a pint of me?

the last couple of series haven't been too good. the presenters have been fannying around too much and hammond is starting to piss me off. it's not believable. it used to be funny because you believed that all of it was real, but now when something goes wrong you kniw it wasn't an accident, like when they "accidently" set the christmas presents on fire and when hammond "accidently" crashed into the christmas tree on the electric skate board and when clarkson "accidently" fell through that cardboard toilet.
