As far as I am concerned, and I'm not alone in this, Top Gear (UK) died when Jeremy Clarkson was fired and May and Hammond quit. Nevertheless, they tried keeping the show going with replacement hosts. I tried giving them a chance but they just weren't working for me, at all.

Now I've seen this:

Top Gear Is Officially Over

The BBC has confirmed that the long-running TV show has finally come to an end

It’s been expected, but now it’s official - Top Gear is officially over. 46 years on from its very first series, the 33rd since its 2002 reboot aired last year will now go down in history as its last. At least for the “foreseeable future”.

Following on from ex-cricketer Freddie Flintoff’s crash in December 2022 while filming for the now-canned 34th series, the BBC has confirmed it has decided “to rest” the show.

We aren't losing anything. My beloved show was murdered a long time ago.

Thought it died years ago. Anyone see the American Top Gear?

The part you quoted mentions Freddie's crash but it unintentionally downplays it. Perhaps people glancing at this don't appreciate the severity of the crash. It was almost fatal and left him with life-changing injuries. There was a several-million quid settlement. It was a big deal.

I didn't know it was that severe. I hope things get better for him.

camila: I thought something happened to Fluffy Peeps for a bit. I tried returning to the main board and it kept saying it couldn't find the forum. I had to close out the window and come back in. Jan 6, 2024 12:17:13 GMT -5
