    Rumors are flying in Europe that JC has written letters of apology and that the BBC is preparing a new contract, but I don't believe it. On the other hand if May and the Hamster have threatened to leave, effectively killing the show, maybe there will be some reconsideration all around. It has already been officially announced that the live show tour will go ahead as planned.

    It will likely suck. Jezza, Captain Slow and Hamster ARE Top Gear.

    Top Gear can't really go on a standard channel that requires advertisement for revenue. They butcher so many cars they wouldn't have any advertisers left.

    And Im not sure how tampax feels about Jeremeys reference to the "lady garden"

    the list just goes on and on...

    I agree a pay channel is likely and a good way to go. However, I would prefer they keep the humor subtle as it's always been.

    I greatly enjoyed watching the Patagonia episode this weekend.
