+azapro911 and can you get, why it was closed?:D

If Jeremy and Andy hadn't sold their rights for the show to the BBC, they could have been Billionaires.

Or rather closed after one and a half seasons and sued for a total amount of annual budget of a 1st world country. BBC is public state television, paid for by the taxpayers, protected in its existence by laws of UK and an army of top Cambridge law school sharks, in order to carry the beacon on. There is no way anybody could've personally dodged as many bullets as Top Gear did under BBC.

While absolutely true, they probably also needed the investment from the BBC in order to push Top Gear to be what it is.

of course, "it was very expensive show", but anyway, it was goldmine for BBC.

It’s always funny and quite fascinating when they do road trips in dangerous or underdeveloped countries. I think they do a decent job at showing it’s not all like the stereotypes but some of it is.

I find it amazing how they've been to some of the poorest war-torn regions in the world, yet there were only two places that they truly faced any danger from the locals: Argentina and the US.

That's because Alabama is a joke to the rest of the US too lol

Is there a link to the full interview?

@@martinnjoroge7867 I too searched a lot but couldn't find any

2 Middle Aged Guys and a 38 Year Old.

if someone asks me to explain it i just tell them to watch it because its impossible. Just watch it and I promise it will be great

An wild orangutan, an OCD-ridden grandma and an accident-prone hamster

lee taylor Kiddy shagging morons the lot of them.

Clarkson was the one that did that, not the BBC.

Yeah, I guess your idea of entertainment is watching the kartrashian, towie, and other brain rotting TV reality shows. Your opinion is pointless, like you oh 'dead men tell no tales.'

With good reason matey ejl1000.

In fairness the Beeb's hands were tied.

Young Frankenstein but he dyed his hair tho?

@@Thigrandil yes he did

+Jackie Scholl - they crushed into ice while sober. As for crashing into the camera crew car (no one was running along side) I think that people whose job is to pay attention to hosts car would notice in advance if it would get dangerously close or If they would have one to many. After all in most countries you are still good to drive after one small drink.

They are actually in international waters there so you can drink and technically drive legally. What I find more interesting, is that if you hijack a car there... You'd be a pirate.

@grisznik - Some people just tend to always need something or someone to complain about.

Y’all a bunch of ‘tards! Go smoke some poles 🐓🍭’s

There was no speedlimit signs and certinally no cops to give tickets

Muck006, it is......on UKposts....but I agree as it was just about the only TV show on the BBC that was worth watching.

Grand tour baby

mrnoodles100 Yep ... even not believing Hammond when he says he didnt do it ... "we know better" (probably because the NSA got hold of a bill sent to Hammond via email).

mrnoodles100 it sounds more like clarkson and/or may told the producers of sixty minutes that it would really piss off the hamster if they said that

Whats wrong with getting your teeth whitened? I use the crest strips to whiten my teeth once a year

He should have said "Hammond is the only one who bothers to BRUSH his teeth."

Bothers.... Jeez!

Nice name lol

Twitter

Karl Hillary "must agree to drive an underpowered car ..." clearly shows that someone doesnt understand the whole thing.

+Karl Hillary You mean a journalist exaggerated something for a sensationalist effect? Holy shit, right?

His car had a rollcage and bucket seats.How?

+Theextreme enigma - Argentina was few years after this interview.

Theextreme enigma yeh the argies couldn't take a joke oh and getting there arse kicked by us aswell lol

froggo doggo that's not entirely true.

+froggo doggo well, I really don't mean to play the devil's advocate for americans here, can't stand 'em like the next guy, however also in Argentina the problem arose because of the interpretation of a number plate... if that is much smarter

Chitwan S no. It wasn’t.

@Matthew Hopkins Wasn't the Argentina things after this?

@@danield8528 argentina one was highly dangerous tbh

You're eleven and your daughter is eleven makes sense

You failed at being funny. Why are people always trying to be funny, when watching top gear? lol

Especially Jeremy. Reminds me of myself with the recklessness

They remove the music? WTF?

Renee Leighton YOU JINXED IT!

Jinxed what?

Renee Leighton Well, since Jeremy got fired and the other two didn't renew their contracts... I guess he's blaming you for jinxing the show by wishing another 10 years lol - Thankfully they're rebooting on another channel :)

diablothe2nd yeah I figured that out, eventually. I made that comment 9 months ago, long before the "fracas". People should realise that a comment made months ago needs a more complete reference when one comments on said post. Just saying.

Renee Leighton Jesus Christ Renee, they were having a laugh!

I could not imagine him going down a swiss mountain in a lady shaver.

Unwilling Participant I remember a series where he would listen to Morse code in that weeks car as he went round the track in whatever super car they had. Good times...

That’s Hammond

@@jaymercer4692 good shout

***** Yep they took the Toyota Hilux to Bristol on an earlier occasion. But I think they tried to cross the channel earlier and it totally very didn't work. So they reattempted it and got it right.

+Stan Dando No they tried to do it in separate cars on a lake but then the producers decided that they wanted to try it again so Top Gear (being Top Gear) decided to drive to Dover and travel across the Channel in new cars that they bought themselves. They all had individual boats but James's boat hit the pier so he shared Richard's boat. Then Richard's boat sank and James "got a bit bored of sinking" so they all shared Jeremy's boat. Then Jeremy came up with the idea of trying to break Richard Branson's (or Beardy Branson, as Jeremy would call him) record of travelling across the Channel to France in an amphibious car so they had to go back so they could go all go in the Toyboata and try and have a go at the record. They were unsuccessful, as you could probably guess.

+BigBadBuzzRoyt You are correct. But somehow i didn't get notified about your comment. Thanks for the correction and my apologys for my 1st comment. Which was obviously flawed.

You can at least watch the Grand Tour..

He didn't get to make it that fast before the tire blew. Since they've been driving for around 90 years collectively, have had plenty of practice, and have driven with experts in every aspect, and have done much more reckless tests and trips, they aren't an insurance risk. Even if they were, I'm sure they have had the time to get enough money to cover death. But thanks for the professional take on this...

TheSkittles1001

TheSkittles1001 sorry. My phone is a bit quirky.

TheSkittles1001 ". Since they've been driving for around 90 years collectively, have had plenty of practice" That's like saying I've just started parachute jumping and got 1 successful jump under my belt so now i'll never fail because I will always jump with my two other friends who have both been jumping for 50 years so I've got 101 years experience

I don't know that, but I do know that you can't get to talk to them on the Top Gear Live shows.

kewk ng I doubt they sit and watch the film inserts in real time.

ndhn100 *was...*Sob*

Hiwired96 "Anyway here's the new ford..."

+ndhn100 Too bad those nimrods in Alabama couldn't see that.

made me laugh too! I will stand up for my fellow women any day but the reason this show works so well is because the blokey chemistry that happens

fullfill you life please ☺ from the 1st season to the 22nd ☺

he was clearly joking. those three would never be able to replace and perhaps keep the show running with 2 of them if any missed
