Dyson Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I loved it The Pikachu car had me in stitches, and the Police car chase was amazing. Not to mention the amount of times they showed that reverse jump, was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yesterday's episode wasn't really that good. Why do they still do these stupid races if they know that noone likes them and there's absolutely no point to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Stupid races? You mean the down hill skiing thing? That was one of only a few good points about yesterdays show. It really was intensely boring >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I still enjoy this series but it's starting to lose a lot of its humour. The obvious-scriptedness of some of the jokes is becoming a bit too obvious. And that whole dashboard period thing last night was just painfully unfunny :/ Top Gear stuntman was awesome though.

Dante Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Top Gear stars James May and Richard Hammond have not yet signed new contracts despite their agreements expiring at the end of the month – leading to fears they may leave the show. Internally at the BBC there are fears that "there could be a break up of the team, it has got that bad" according to one source familiar with the negotiations, MediaGuardian.co.uk can reveal. Negotiations stalled after the pair "turned down flat" the first offer from the BBC and have argued for a TV contract that gives them a salary more in line with the pay packet of co-host Jeremy Clarkson, according to the source. "Internally there is talk that there might be a chance for the first time that there could be a break up of the team, it has got that bad," said the source. He claimed: "There has been a lot of pulling out of hair, a Mexican stand-off. For the first time it is possible that one or both might leave." "They don't want to accept second status anymore," said the source. "There has been a meltdown in negotiations." It is understood that the new deal Clarkson signed last month gives him a return on some of the commercial activities of the Top Gear franchise. In June he struck a lucrative deal with BBC Worldwide to promote BBC2 hit Top Gear around the world, in return for a profit-related fee. The show is a success abroad, with the US and Australia making their own versions. According to a source familiar with the situation, the "recalibration" of Clarkson's Top Gear deal is a significant extra bonus and gives more leverage to Hammond and May's agents to argue for more money. While the pair claim that they deserve pay commensurate with their star status, it is understood the BBC has argued that Top Gear is the pair's "power base" for popularity. Without a Top Gear deal, the BBC argues that Hammond and May's wider media profiles could be damaged. Hammond has built up his popularity immensely since his brush with death in a high-speed crash for Top Gear last year. May has also built up a following with his on-screen partnership with wine expert Oz Clarke in BBC2 show Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure. A BBC spokeswoman said: "We never comment on contract negotiations." The corporation is in a difficult position following a recent review by the BBC Trust of the pay of its top talent. The report acknowledged the greater competition for entertainment talent, with chairman Sir Michael Lyons saying: "The value of great entertainers, comedians, actors, presenters, journalists and interviewers is rightly very high and the BBC has a special responsibility because of its funding to help develop the UK's talent base for the benefit of the industry as a whole." But he added: "The BBC has to be prepared to walk away from deals that do not offer good value." Such is the popularity of Top Gear, there are claims that if the BBC had not signed the lucrative deal with Clarkson, media mogul Simon Fuller was interested in talking to him about projects. Top Gear hit the headlines earlier this week after the BBC Trust criticised the show's Polar Special for showing Clarkson and May drinking gin and tonics while driving near the North Pole. According to Mail Online yesterday, May responded to the decision by saying: "When I saw the ruling, I thought, 'You can sod off'." www.guardian.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 So basically they are arguing; does Top Gear need Hammond and May more than Hammond and May need Top Gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
