ZippySLC posted:I wonder if Netflix Top Gear would switch to a format similar to TGUS where it's all a challenge. It'd certainly cut down on the need to source a track and/or get manufacturer support like they did via the BBC. Eh, they could get a track easily enough. I don't want the show to turn into TGUS, we've already got one of those.

On the Netflix thing. From what I read, basically Netflix is willing to give Clarkson anything he wants and give him free reign of to make anything he wants. How much could he get away with on Netflix? Probably murder.

Looking forward to the first episode of Filterless Top Gear being Hammond and May standing around a provincial car park doing nothing because none of the producers can dodge Clarkson's haymakers long enough to give them a challenge.

When they had a genuinely funny or interesting person on, it was worth watching. My favorite was probably Eddie Izzard. I love his "Well, he was named after bits of a pig"-comeback after Clarkson quotes Sir Francis Bacon. Or "Turn left, you dickhead."

He does have 2 or 3 other Weekday/Saturday night programs he does with them, so hes got a lot to lose leaving them.

Guys! Guys! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0muUZTKCeBg James just uploaded a new video  Honestly, I think at this point he just needs to start making YouTube videos full time. I'm pretty sure he'd be insanely popular as a streamer / Youtuber.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:People keep calling him an underling but that's just media poo poo trying to make it sound worse. The producers are his bosses. They run and make the show. Stop calling Oison an underling. Uh, until 2012 Jeremy and Andy Wilman were the main investors in Bedder 6 which iirc owned the franchise. That would have made Oison quite literally an underling up to that point. Wilman (the executive producer) has been a long time friend of Jeremys, and co-investor. If you really want to rank the importance of individuals within pretty much any corporate structure, you look at a) pay scale b) how replaceable they are. He was the highest paid, and I think probably the least replaceable given the length of his involvement with the show. So yeah, Oison has always been an underling; if anyone was Clarkson's boss, it would have been Andy Wilman / the BBC.

Yea but Clarkson sold his share for a poo poo ton which is why he has twice the networth of James and Richard. Clarksons boss was the one who fired him.

As a casual viewer, it really sucks to see it go this way. I'll miss James May the most. Hammond always seemed the weakest of the 3 and Clarkson was just plain annoying but the 3 of them did make some pretty memorable shows, especially the epic episodes. Road Trip southern USA, the one that ended in Mississippi and had Hammond almost killed for his MAN-LOVE HILLARY FOR PRES truck was my first real exposure to the series other than clips and made my try to watch it whenever I had the opportunity.

I would watch the Netflix clarkson and may show like crazy. Meanwhile I could see Hammond helming the new show with a pair of black gay transgendered women (if the rumored future of "Doctor who" says anything about their casting preferences). Let's just hope they have the same chemistry as the old team
