Top Gear will be fine anyway.
The ratings it brings in especially for a sunday night, are worth the complaints alone, and as for more complaints. Most likely from people who have never seen the show or know who Richard Hammond is, just looking for an excuse to complain.

Done it.

However, there's not a lot of point. There is no way on earth Top Gear will be axed. It's been around nearly 30 years and all the other calls to stop the show havn't even so much as dented it.

But if it was axed, it would probably end up on Sky One, full of adverts every 15 minutes making the program 40 minutes long and aimed at Lord and Lady Chavet. Jeremy would be put out to pasture and replaced by some young blond with a big chest and a co-host who has to do that hand waving thing that seems to be compulsory and make a fist with his thumb and finger pointing out every 5 minutes, not forgetting the camera man who has to do the picture on it's side and then snap it to the correct level as if it is on a spring.

Hamster's accident, once he is back on his feet is also set to become it's own program so that it can be shown that all safety precautions were observed and how great the medical services were (I say the last part seriously, they were great)....also, push up the ratings too, I suspect

Studio shooting will start the first week in November.
This is the link to get tickets to be in the audience.

They are free, you just have to register for them. The waiting list is a long time, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
