Top Gear delayed until 2013

[DHTiling]

There will be no more Top Gear episodes this year, apart from a Christmas special, according to its presenter Jeremy Clarkson.

Speaking via his Twitter account, Clarkson revealed that, “There’s a rumour in internet land that there will be no more Top Gear this year. I’m afraid that apart from an Xmas Special, it’s true.”

Do you think this is down to Clarkson's gob as of late and complaints or maybe because of the Olympics..?

May as well remove the program that gives me a U.K based IP address for i-player then and free up some space. Bah humbug.

I personally think they are getting a bit stale and silly, the show is more about how ccrrrraazzzy they can be and not much about the cars. The India episode was just embarassing.
Maybe it's a good thing that they have a break.

Nooooooooo! Only last week I read on their website that they were ready to do the show!

I'm off to cry for a bit, and then cancel my direct debit for my TV licence. First the BBC loses most of the F1 and now Top Gear is having cut backs, if Eastenders goes, I'll have a breakdown :lol:

After further reading it seems it's down to the XFactor and clash of time slots on a Sunday.

I wish they'd just scrap these singing shows they're all rigged and end up with rubbish singers releasing number 1s for xmas and then never seen again.

Surely the blokes get the TV on that one night and the women can watch the Xfactor all week then if they want to.

Grrrrrr

So Bugs doesn't like Top Gear and Bri likes Eastenders. Sad. I'll still talk to you both but it'll be difficult. ;-)

Lol! I'm having therapy if that makes any difference, got weened off Hollyoaks a couple of months ago, Eastenders is proving a little harder!

Xfactor is on every year and has not affected Top gear ... so why now..?.. do you not think there is more to it..?

It probably damaged ratings last year or something at a guess.

I like Top Gear, but think they have got a bit stale. But maybe the BBC have had a nudge as the presenters are outspoken about day to day Britain, and that doesn't suit some people in higher places.
As for Eastenders, no no no!
Is that better Fliselege???

All is forgiven. Now we just have to turn Bri.
