Jeremy,
Hi, its MTR.
It is time for you to reinvent TG, its stale. Very stale. And more importantly, its not funny anymore. You made a car review show mainstream, I get that. But now its stale. Did I mention that?
Shiny and fresh. Thats what you need. Something original and entertaining.
I have many ideas. Call me.

I get that TG has a worldwide following.........but I can't see true petrol heads watching that s
te.
Clarkson and the other two knobs are only interested in clowning around and enlarging their celebrity status along with acting like 16 year olds. If only they were serious about producing a car programme that was entertaining for those of us which love cars, not watch the three dheads driving in some far off land, Africa being one, in some beat up motor.
Perhaps it's just me, but I used to love this programme about 6-8 years ago when it was more about cars and not their TV personalities and making it more "entertaining"
To be honest these days I get more out of the yank programmes.....even if they are very staged.

I wonder whether Clarkson and co actually feel the same way. Perhaps they're trapped into turning out this stuff because it's 'popular'.
Top Gear was pretty much the only BBC output I watched and was ultimately the reason I stopped paying my licence fee. It wasn't really enough about cars for me any more and hence no reason to bother watching. I no longer watch any live TV at all.
It's sad that in all the millions of hours of TV programming that go out each year, catering for so many 'minorities', that there's not a single thing for a proper petrolhead.
If you want to see any decent car programming now you have to look online. Motor Trend have some great stuff, Roadkill usually turns out some brilliant episodes, Mighty Car Mods is good and - until they fked things up - /Drive were producing some really interesting documentaries on Koenigsegg, a look behind the curtain at the engineering and design etc. Finally Bad Obsession Motorsports have had me hooked following their work squeezing a Celica GT-Four engine and drivetrain into a classic Mini - it's brilliant to watch and a joy to see such amazing engineering work going on.
I don't even bother iPlayering Top Gear either.

I think Clarkson is more concerned about making a mint for himself if I am honest with you than anything else!
As for other networks I see Chris Harris is quite popular, and as much as the internet haterz despise them Wheeler Dealers seem to enjoying viewers from the car bods I know (that includes people in their circles (friends, family etc.). Of course none of the above are really a family program, but you could argue that TG is slowly stepping away from that as well.

I really like it. Its one of the few genuinely family shows that you can actually sit down and watch as a whole family with everybody being entertained.
Its not a car nuts programme forensically breaking down the in gear acceleration stats. Thats easy to do. What TG does is very very difficult to do.
