Well i'd be gutted it they axed the show! It's the only program on TV i really enjoy watching, even if there are a few not so good episodes!

I vote Top Gear to stay!   :cool:

Don't get me wrong, I'd be gutted too, its a great show, but atm its stuck in a rut... there seems to have been zero change to the format, for what, ten years now. It may well draw in millions of pounds, and have millions of viewers all over the world, but it remains one of the BBC's most expensive programs to produce, if the budget gets cut, what will happen then?

All it will take for it to get axed is for Clarkson to finnaly get too big for his boots and have a bust up with BBC producers. (Usually happens over money).

Watch this space.

Seeing as clarkson basically owns it, and seeing as it is their biggest show by far (nothing that big has ever been axed) i very much doubt its going anywhere.

Clarkson has more control in the BBC via topgear than you realise.

I agree, except Jonathan Ross got axed. OK the scapegoat of a reason was the live slip up, which in theory couldn't happen on top gear, but the reality was he was getting paid too much and the BBC had had enough.

Top gear do need to use a new format, it seems like they make 1 great episode followed by a handful of dull, boring and predictable ones. They've simply run out of ideas now.
