Default the end of top gear

just got an email from the top gear team stating this this weeks ep will be he last in the series

THE LAST SHOW...
This Sunday's episode is the last in the current series of Top Gear. Sorry. On the plus side, it's going to be epic. TGTV boss Andy Wilman explains why Sabine Schmidt, the Gumpert Apollo and Jay Kay are set to give Series 11 a fitting send-off.

is this the shortest series ever then?

Top Gear
Season 11 Episode 6 of 6
In the final programme of the series, Jeremy Clarkson and the team take on their toughest challenge yet - keeping their tongues in check during a meeting with their counterparts from the German equivalent of the show. Plus, James May test drives a quirky Japanese car, and Richard Hammond puts a concept car from Mazda through its paces

Hopefully we'll see the Dacia Sandero (sp?) going head to head with the reasonably priced car on the Track... as they said, should be an epic.


Cheers,
Grant

No one's forcing you to watch it, so just don't Just cos you don't like it, why should it be taken off the air for good? I don't like cookery programmes, but instead of being a narrowminded cunt and ranting about how they should all be taken off the air for good, I just choose to not watch them. Simple logic really....

It'll be something top do with the Olympics.
That usually wrecks T.V schedules.
Either the amount of cash the Beeb are having to spend in China or the loss of production staff to the event.
