Second rate comedy programmes are not popular at the mo so no surprise. A decent prog about cars would be a good idea surprised they dont try that.

I doubt they'd want to, they used to do that and it was canned by the beeb because only car nerds watched it and the viewing figures were shit

Now they morphed it into light entertainment, make shedloads of cash and the BBC get massive viewing figures why would they change the format?

5th gear is informative and sensible and its boring as hell generally with bugger all viewers

Its about tv schedules and viewing figures not satisfying the minority


For someone who claims to be so intelligent you dont half spout cobblers sometimes

if its so popular and makes a shed load of cash then why are they cutting massively the length of the "seasons" and how many they do?

Warren, it makes clarkson cash

He sells it to the Beeb

The beeb cant afford to buy as much as he'd like to sell them

The beeb keep buying it as they love the viewing figures
