Half Pint Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Yes, rather bizarre. Did anyone see Top Gear of the Pops last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101nut Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 All very strange! When TG 'finished' after 6 episodes I felt that things were odd. The 'growing fuel' escapade should have been completed the following week but wasn't ... where did it go? Why did it go? I heard that there was a perceived problem with the programme 'doing it's own thing' and that the BBC management didn't like that rebellious nature despite the populatity. The whole team (production as well as presenters) are notoriously non-pc and approach things from a different direction to the norm so get up some people's noses who are too far up their own rear ends to find the 'off' button. My personal feeling is that the train crossing article cut a bit close to the bone and severe questions were asked in the back rooms of the BBC ... I think it'll be back but on Channel 4, 5 or, heaven forbid, $ky. AndyG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Hamster's car accident that caused the ripples, so I think the Beeb will revisit how the show manages H&S but that its future is secure.
