Top Gear

Open auditions for presenters.

Anyone think they're knowledgeable enough about cars to give it a shot?

Well, I'm not much of a car expert, but I can name three off the top of my head who could do the job quite well.

J. Clarkson, J. May and R. Hammond

just watched Top Gear...errr Clarksond, Hammond and May Live yesterday

Well, that happened.

Yay! I had heard rumors but it looks like it might actually be happening. When does it start?

What's the budget gonna look like? I can't imagine it'll be as big as the old one.

HELL YEAH!

Watching the last episode.

Oh god, Hammond's grown a beard.

The BBC could have at least had the decency to leave the credits rolling in silence, but of course they didn't.

Fuck's sake.

I wonder if we'll ever get to see it here in America.

God I hope so.

I was wondering what the deal with that Elephant was.

Hammond actually suits the goatee/zapata moustache combo. It makes him look older than he is, which is a change from looking much younger.

That was a sad episode, overall. You could feel the real emotion coming from both Richard and James, and it was gutting to experience it.

Damn, it's been over a day since the episode aired, and only now am I starting to get the feels from May's closing message...

I hope Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May do end up with Netflix. Top Gear is never Top Gear without those three.

And also, Richard looks like the Anthony Ainley incarnation of the Master now.

Well fellow Americans, the last episode will air here on the 13th.

I hope everyone is ready to be sad.

I'm bringing plenty of tissues and my stuffed penguin Frobisher. Well there's always the reruns!

Hoarding tissue in progress.

Hopefully when you get to see the show it will not have some fucking a-hole of a continuity announcer warbling all over its closing, silent credits, in a paean of praise for a series that hadn't even started yet and whose crass introduction into what was a quite solemn moment made me want to strangle her bosses. She was only following orders, as they say...

Good to see I wasn't the only one angered by that.

I just hope BBC America won't show that silly promo for Alantis while the credits roll.

And while I am on that thought; NO SPLIT SCREEN CREDITS. They can do the same thing like they did with The Day of the Doctor and not do anything with the credits at all.

If they do, I am going to complain.

Well tonight's the night. Everybody ready to feel bad?

I am not watching it. I don't want Hammy, May, and Clarky to go.

Well the films sure were nice. I'm gonna go be sad though because now there's never gonna be any more.

Wow, very tasteful BBC America, playing the dumbass Jonathan Strange ad over the credits. Tossers.

WHAT THE HECK BBC?! THEY COULDN'T EVEN BOTHER NOT AIRING PROMOS BUT YOU DID ANYWAY! THOSE STUPID LITTLE-

Technical difficulties. Instead, Please enjoy this picture of a angry-looking Patrick Troughton◊. We are very sorry for this.

BBC America did the equivalent of the priest providing the funeral service breaking into an ad for something mid goddamn eulogy.
