I wouldn’t be too worried. Like I said before, the show has been on since 1978. And yes Jeremy Clarkson was the host even back then. The ratings have gone up and down for years. I don’t think these new ratings will change anything except maybe quiet the green car people from complaining a little bit.

I believe that the changes that will come this autumm, know as Sabine, is about Clarkson having slipped 2 discs. 3 weeks ago in TG they announced that JC was forbiden to drive for 6 months.
So we could have a duo for some car reviews, JC talking and Sabine driving.... unless the Stig does all the driving

UK license holders should e able to download through iMP soonish if all goes to plan
but the iMP automatically stops each program after a week. I don't want that. I want to watch Top Gear whenever i want. even though watching any BBC programme for a week is a fascinating idea

well im not afraid of the show going away. ye the quality of the show and maye the focus changing.... less into what it is now and more into more comercial cars that we do not want to see due to the ammount of viewers car companys might want to pusha car to get tested and producers budge into it

well yes thats what it did in the first trial, second larger trial coming september. who knows what will happen for sure, or even if it will happen at all. BBC are also developing their own codec to so no microsoft crap eventually hopefully. Finally if DRM becomes popular on vids expect it to be cracked pretty quickly just like dvds any method is pretty pointless
