Dont get me wrong because I actually like Jeremy Clarkson and his henchmen but …………..
BBC’s Top Gear is probably the most expensive drain on OUR taxes via the BBC than any other program. I wonder just how much of the BBC’s budget goes on this complete waste of space. And, if you add the presenters enormous salaries on top of this, then we are looking at wasteage of gigantic proportions.
We, the UK tv viewers, PAY the BBC to operate, they do not survive on commercials (bloody well should do) but on forced contributions from the public with so called Licence Fee for television receivers. It does not matter whether you watch the BBC or not, you still have to pay. I do ont, but my daughter watches top gear which is why I see this drivel. Painting a car with wet paint to do 200 mph to see what effects it has is bordering on fraud. And when Jeremy crashed a car, WHO paid for the damage repairs? US!
Top Gear used to be a programme bringing us the innovations of the everyday car on the street, not some presenters ego trip in a car that nobody can either afford or is legal to run on our roads. It was run with the common or garden motorist in mind. Now they pander to the whims of a studio audience, who dont even have seats, playing up to them and riding their ego trip of horsepower and machoism.
They set up a motoring art exhibition, in the art lovers northeast of England, at whatever costs, and NOBODY turned up! They went to a Boro game to appeal for attendances in Newcastle SHIRTS!! Atre they totally out of all touch with reality!
God help anybody with epilepsy with all their flashing stills and suchlike. And its all on OUR money. Get rid and save a mint!!
