Sorry, I mean in the manner they weren't renewed, like a clause. It seems to have been a slightly strange set-up that was great for all at the time. The producer seemed to hold a lot more sway than normal as a good friend of Jez or whatever else for instance, but then it was who owned the rights, the format, the name... It all seemed a bit more complicated than a standard production. And the money it was making, who knows what was in the contracts as a result? _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Guys you're just going to have to come to terms with the fact that Top Gear as you knew it is done. Latest rumour is they are now in talks with Netflix. Time to move on  PS Mods can we change this title to the 'formerly known as top gear' thread? _________________Still the official cheeky one

There may still be Top Gear again even if it's not Top Gear as previously known. Here's as good place as any to discuss if it's any good, should it appear.

Top Gear: BBC in multimillion-pound James May and Richard Hammond bid | Media | The Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/j ... y-clarksonAs far as I'm concerned there's no way Clarkson should be allowed back. The Beeb already sullied itself week in week out with cheap racism that wouldn't have been tolerated on any other show. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Just a reminder the stitches together show - and therefore the last outing for Top Gear in its current incarnation - is on this evening.

Watched the first half yesterday (classic cars) and I enjoyed it. Typical Top Gear stuff really.
