Jeremy Clarkson says "Top Gear won't be back"
Auto fans worldwide weep

Jeremy Clarkson presenter of the world renowed auto show "Top Gear" which airs on the BBC said in the U.K.'s Sun newspaper this weekend the program won't be returning. At the end of the last episode of the season, Clarkson closed saying: "We don't know when we'll be back."

The BBC claims Top Gear will be back for a summer special, and will start a new season in the fall.

Mr. Clarkson, and co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond are rumored to be in rows with producers over the future of the show. As the show's management surprisingly wants more celebrity appearances and less focus on cars.

Ελπίζω μόνο να είναι φήμες και σχόλια με στόχο το βλέμμα του κόσμου (και ίσως κάποια γερή αύξηση στα παλικάρια μας...)

Η εκπομπή είναι ό,τι καλύτερο υπάρχει παγκοσμίως (με θέμα το αυτοκίνητο) και ΠΡΕΠΕΙ να συνεχίσει όπως είναι!:happy_4: :bravo:

 

[Χρυσόστομος Μ.]

Παλιά φήμη που ευτυχώς διαψεύσθηκε.

Προτείνετε το νέο format του TOP GEAR!!!

Series 10? It's up to you...

Posted by Jeremy Clarkson at 6:00PM on Friday 13 April, 2007

As Top Gear finished its much-delayed run a few weeks ago, the cheery continuity announcer said that the show would be back in the summer. Well, I'm sorry, love, but it won't be.

Not unless someone from the Greenwich Observatory suddenly decides that we need a new month between May and June.

The fact is that it takes four months to film enough material for a run of Top Gear. And then another couple of months to turn the miles of tape we generate into something you might actually want to watch.

But assuming we do come back to BBC2 at some point in the future - October, if we're lucky - our problems will be far from over. Because as I write, no one has much of a clue what the programme should look like. I'd therefore like your help.

The series that's just finished was full of us three cocking about, and almost completely devoid of anything you might fairly call 'a road test'. You had us growing petrol, getting stuck in Fulham, being hounded out of Alabama and resurfacing roads. And about two seconds of a Porsche going round corners in Lincolnshire.

This has gone down very badly with the people in internet land. After every show, they dived into their forums and moaned like Nigel Mansell stuck in a jet engine that their beloved car show had become an entertainment show for the terminally childish. They're right too. Perhaps we should have changed the name to Last of the Summer Petrol.

All these people want to know why there aren't two or three proper car tests a week. And not car tests where I drive around shouting "poweeeeer", but proper ones done by James where every nut, bolt and torque is taken out and examined.

What they want, secretly, is Chris Goffey back. And I'd love to oblige. I'd love to spend the day hooning around in a 599 or a lightweight Gallardo. I'd love to make those cars live for you on the screen. It'd be great.

I'd even love to take that little Fiat Panda 100HP for a spin and wonder out loud how many Nurofens you'd need to take before the headache it generated went away. And whether that many Nurofens will actually kill you.

But galloping like a huge, shit-stained horse over the horizon comes the problem: is that what the vast majority of the viewers want? Not you. Not your mates in cyberland. But the vast swathe of people who just want to flop down on a Sunday night and watch entertaining telly. I suspect the answer is a Thatcheresque "No. No. No."

We always knew that when Richard Hammond made his triumphant return to the programme, the viewing figures would be enormous. And they were. We even beat the final of Big Brother into a cocked pig. And then we sort of thought they'd tail off again, when people realised the Hamster wasn't going to suddenly fall to the floor and start dribbling.

But they haven't. Apart from a slight blip for the America special, the figures climbed like an F-15 on combat power, until we finished with 8.6 million people watching the end of the final show.

To put that in perspective, it's pretty much twice what a very successful programme could dream of getting on BBC2 or Channel 4. It puts us on level terms with Eastenders. It means we are, give or take, the most watched show on the BBC. And that's just in Britain. Factor in the rest of the world, and TG is effing massive.

You may say that, as a public service broadcaster, we shouldn't care about viewing figures; and it's true - we shouldn't. We can take them to the lavatory for a little moment of pleasure, but we can't skew programmes to make them as big as possible or we'd end up with Jade Goody and The Hamiltons being loaded into the cars before they were pushed out of the transport plane...

Anyway, although we won't chase figures, we still have to give the audience something you want and like. Which means we should make Top Gear an entertainment show featuring cars, rather than a car show, that isn't as boring as your wife and kids feared.

Or have I got that all wrong? I'm stuck on this one and would love to hear your views.

Θα το βλεπουμε αραγε μεσω BBC World ?

Οσο για την φημη περι μεταφορας στις ΗΠΑ, αντιγραφω απο την Wikipedia
In April 2007, the BBC reported on a Sun story that Top Gear had been in talks about creating an American version. The current presenters would remain as hosts, but the show would focus on American cars and include American celebrities. The Sun reported in July, however, that plans for an American version had been shelved, partly over Clarkson's misgivings about spending several months in the U.S., away from his family. Besides, Clarkson is not known for his love of American cars, and the illegal antics of the team would probably result in excessive legal spending.

Απο την ιδια πηγη και σχετικα για το Polar Special:
It was the first episode of the programme to be shown in high-definition.
