Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
Top Gear had become stale. Yes it was still attracting big audiences for BBC2. Yes it had become a worldwide cash cow.
This final episode showed how the presenters and producers were struggling to come up with any fresh ideas and ultimately were a parody of themselves. For me Top Gear had stopped being must see TV. It was recorded on the TiVo and inevitably much of it was watched fast forward.
BBC now have an opportunity to refresh Top Gear.
Clarkson, Hammond and May, along with the defecting production team have the opportunity to re-invent themselves and tout their new production to alternative TV companies.
