Are we seriously arguing that the cancellation of Top Gear will impact the world's view of England in any significant way?

Edit: from that link, it looks like it's actually for 3 seasons, and that's the budget for the entire show, so about $7m per episode out of which everything has to come.

Yeah, over the 5-10 years American craft beer making has really cranked it up to the point that I prefer drinking "American" beer to the standard European stuff. Of course, Europeans are going to keep on assuming American beer means Budweiser, and I'm not up on the European craft beer scene.

I think this is pretty much how you find new in-demand Ferraris for sale. Almost everyone has a certain dollar figure over which they don't care if they get to buy a new car from Ferrari ever again.

Is it possible to get "definitive" versions of all of the top gear seasons, legally, in the US? Digital is fine, but from what I understand none of them have the original music.

Payndz posted:Apparently Richard "Sniff Petrol" Porter has taken up his old TG role of script editor for The Grand Tour - he linked on Twitter to a Sunday Times article he wrote about his Defender which mentioned it in his bio. He's kept it very quiet until now, and I guess it means he's patched things up with Clarkson after being pretty scathing about his post-fracas behaviour in the last chapter of his book. Did anyone read it as being "pretty scathing?" TBQH I thought he was pretty reasonable. Clarkson did punch a guy at work.

I watched my very first episode of New Old New Top Gear (Joey et al) today and ended up watching all three back to back. Other than the studio scenes that feel incredibly unnatural, I loved them all. The GTI/ring scene was great. Season 1 isn't worth watching at all is it?

This was a fantastic season, and possibly better than "old" Top Gear's season two. Can't wait to see how they do over the next few years. Am I the only one that hasn't completely warmed up to Rory yet?

I think the tough part is that they've tried to recreate what they were good at (Top Gear) in the confines of whatever agreement they had with BBC over not re-creating Top Gear. Add me to the list that's hoping that conversation street lives on somehow.

A mini-trip/special, conversation street in the studio, a supercar review, and no celebrity segment. After 20 however-many seasons, they've finally made the perfect episode. Too bad it's in their last season.

Man, I just had a long flight where I watched both Senna and the last "traditional" TG/GT episode and it kind of hit me hard. I started watching Top Gear back in 2004, after I saw an episode on a trip to Europe right before I started college. It's taken me through many of my major life milestones, both personal and professional, and although it's only a TV show, it's going to be different not to look forward to the next series. I know that it will go on in some form, but it's still the end of an era for me.
