News Top Gear : Hamster and Captain Slow could be leaving

[cHodAX]

Just read this over at Digitalspy, will be totally gutted if it comes to pass...


Television - News - May and Hammond could leave 'Top Gear'? - Digital Spy

 

[Ctuchik]

nooooooooooo!

fucking BBC!

 

[Mey]

Hamsters got a science show coming outside on CBBC lol!

 

[megadave]

I'm bored of them to be honest, give new funnys!

 

[kiliarien]

Well give them the same cash, they deserve it.

So Megadave, did you have some good barbies on the grass outside Eliot & Rutherford buildings? Or worst of worst, you're a Christchurch man.....

Tbh, hammond is a crap leftover from when it was a proper car show.

James May is the fucking win though, just wish they'd use him more.

 

[DocWolfe]

The show isn't about cars anymore it's more of a show of watching men do manly stuff.

 

[- English -]

imo if people dont like what it is, they should watch fifth gear

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hmm.

I think, they should pay 'em 'cause without, the show ain't the same and has a major chance of blowing it out it's own a**.

But hammond is the least manly man you'll ever come across

Blimey, that's the 'grown up' part, as if any of UKC could ever be grown up!

Back on topic: Cars are the least important thing on the show - it's about 3 blokes having a laugh because they have the resources to do so. It's so successful because the audience like the people not the format, lose them and they're buggered.

I just hope when it does all come to an end, they tell us who the stig is, or should I say how many people have been the stig over all the series and who they are

 

[soze]

if whats came out resently is true (photo showing 4 stigs) theres a few stigs an actor a f1 test driver a rally driver and another one. Could be a gag for an episode. But i agree lose hammond and may and you hurt the show.

Top Gear's The Stig - unmasked at last? - Auto Trader UK - News and Reviews Hub

 

[Edmond]

Apparently, if say porche send a car down to be taken round the track, they send a driver too, so it gets driven to the best of its abilities. That driver is dressed as the stig, and it happens with all the manufacturers, they send a test driver with the car

so there are loads of 'Stigs', not just one or two

Blasphemy. Lies. Cheater. Counter-striker!

 

[Overdriven]

Hmm, wonder how much Clarkson actually gets paid, wonder what the increase would be for the other 2.

 

[georgie]

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere the other day that Clarkson gets about £2 Million and Hamster and Slow get about £300-500K each (a year I presume not per season).

It's all a negotiation anyway, you never take the first offer.

 

[pikeh]

poor bastards. Only 500k? :<

 

[Overdriven]

TBH, even though money will be involved, I think they'll still stay in the show, because tbfh, where else will they see/do the things they do on TG? Africa/North Pole for near enough free? I mean, what other show would let EITHER of them do that?

Top cars, best locations, and they bitch about money?

Shame Fifth Gear is a pile of shit.
