i dont see why they jump on the bandwagon tho, yes there was a big de-railment up north last week but the idea of the stunt was to show the dangers of level crossings which imo they should show.

but i spose top gear will always get it as going over 2k in a car is dangerous driving to these twats

There was a accident yesterday on a level crossing where a car crossed a level crossing and the the driver or passenger was killed due to the train destroying it.

So i presume BBC thought it in appropiate to show the repeat which highlights what happens when a train hits a car....

but just because some cock decides to get themselves killed in a car doesn't mean top gear should be banned should it

after all, how many people buy ferarri's and porchs and other exotic cars and then do doughnuts in the middle of hyde park?

i don't think top gear is gonna be banned over it is it?

it's just courtesy i think for them not to show it due to what happened yesterday. it's like when theres a child murdered or something they take off a detective show which has a children's murder in it, it's not a conspiracy againest the show it's just something all networks do.

which reminds me of a storyline on the wwf a while back
they had an arab american trying to tell people that he didn't think americans were the sort of people who treated all individuals fairly, even though he'd grown up as an american, after the towers attacks everyone had switched on him
they played the story right down to the wire, but they had a really bad stroke of luck when they used the chracter to kidnap undertaker
and then the next day the london bombs went off and they killed the chracter off totaly
it's not his fault, he was a good wrestler and had loads of potential, but the storyline he was involved in fell victim to the "onh no, somethngs happened, lets get rid of him" approach, the same approach that the charcater was trying to explain the reasons he was getting pssed off about in the first place

he's still wrestling, and his cohort, davari is back on telly now, wrong place wrong time eh

yep but if they didnt spunk all the budget on things like trying to build a spaceship, it would be on for about 20 weeks

I was thinking more along the lines of just going too far and totally wasting money!

It's not been the best Series ever of Top Gear IMO!
