I think they had a synergy that worked really well. Differing perspectives, preferences, etc.

If it was just Clarkson, why get the band back together for a new show?

what I meant was the should could have survived if it was one of the other hosts changing, but not Clarkson

but the 3 of them together is definitely better than any one of them by themselves...

I'm just glad that the team is back together. Their show was a big part of my early automotive life growing up. It's nice to have them back.

No date has been announced. I don't even think the official name has (it's not Gear Knobs, unfortunately).

Top Gear producer to sue Clarkson.

The producer punched by Jeremy Clarkson is suing the former Top Gear host and the BBC for racial discrimination.

Irish is a race? He must want some of that Amazon money.

Getting punched in the face is racial discrimination? If I were clarkson I would just move out of the country. I hate giving stupid people money.


edit: wow he even looks dumb. He should just ask for 100k for the hit and call it a day why bring race or anything into this wtf

the racial discrimination part is coming from the "sustained and prolonged verbal abuse of an extreme nature" part

and lets face it, if this was in the US, lawsuit would have happened a long time ago...

I understand a little where this guy is coming from. he got punched in the face, then the verbal abuse thing, and then raped all over social media by stupid* "clarkson can do no wrong" fans



flame suit on

He's probably hoping to get a deal into the Amazon team for that moolah.

Agreed, but we all know it's still mostly frivolous and he's really just looking for a pay day.

Pretty low key Clarkson. Not sure what to think of Prime Air.
