Default Top Gear Troubles

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...ntopgear11.xml

so, in conclusion, the next season of TG may return only in the Fall and no one is saying whether Clarkson will be returning for season 11 or not.

^ That sucks. As bias as he is, I think that show needs him. It just won't be the same. The chemistry around those three will be hard to reproduce with someone else.

Overall Top Gear is very good entertainment!

TopGear = Jeremy Clarkson

Very sad to hear this but BBC has done the same with Top Of The Pops and that was even popular, they just cancelled it... :shock:

I really hope all is well in the end and we can have our good old TopGear !

Yep, as cocky and biased as he is, he is very entertaining to watch.

uhhhh........sounds like a basic fight over money to me. I can only hope BBC pays JC what he wants to continue doing the show.

JC cant quit now........not when he hasnt yet driven the 599, the 997 GT3, the next GTR, the Evo X, the Civic Type R, the Saleen S-7, the........bah, he will be back. He cant leave now.

Although, there is something to be said about leaving on a high note.

***GOOD NEWS***

Top Gear will return in the summer, the BBC has said - despite host Jeremy Clarkson declaring that it will not.

i dunno, from what I understand from that, it seems like they'll have a special like the Winter olympics and then the actual season starts in the fall.

Sounds like Jeremy just wanted more money, and BBC has finally agreed.

:bah:
Exactly what I thought, JC knows TG isn't the same without him so he can ask what he like to be honest..
