Man no matter what they put out, this shit is getting hyped beyond all expectations. I sincerely hope they make a shitload of episodes in the style of the specials.

I have mixed feelings on this considering it was Clarkson who was the asshole; this is kinda proving that you can get away with assault and still have a career. Unless the story changed or something?

Unless the story changed or something?[/QUOTE] He lost his temper and hit a guy, both of them forgave each other after the fact and IIRC the other guy said it was understandable (not acceptable, but understandable) after the day the entire crew had had and the personal drama Clarkson had been going through. He had one moment of weakness and did something regrettable, and all was forgiven between the two parties afterwards, I'm to understand. Unfortunately for such gentlemanly ways of sorting out drama, the conduct also happened more or less "on the job", which means there must be professional consequences or else the precedent's set that it's okay to assault coworkers if you've got a lot of shit going on and you all make up afterwards. Clarkson lost his job at Top Gear and his career of working with the BBC as a result of the disciplinary actions his single bad decision [I]required[/I]. Does he have to be blackballed from the industry? It's not like he waved a gun around; Jeremy Clarkson is not a threat to the safety of the general public. If he'd assaulted a fan or audience member, now that would hopefully have different consequences on his career, but that's also not what happened. There's holding someone accountable for their actions and maintaining the necessary discipline and fairness to protect the safety of the entire system, and then there's getting way too worked up about it. What I'm saying is, have some perspective.
And here come the 3 pages of name suggestions! I bursted out laughing because of James's stupid comment, " I'm gonna have a custard cream" :v:

I figured there had to be some resolution otherwise there would have been a bigger stink. Nice to know that all is well on all ends.
Eating a fucking custard cream here as he said it. It was like a spiritual and delicious experience that made me question reality.

They should just name the show Roundabout because they're just driving around in circles finding a name.
Top Clarkson
[QUOTE=Viper_;50277336]Eating a fucking custard cream here as he said it.

[QUOTE=Ithon;50277374]They should just name the show Roundabout because they're just driving around in circles finding a name.[/QUOTE] would give them a great opportunity for an opening theme
[QUOTE=butre;50277475]would give them a great opportunity for an opening theme[/QUOTE] Or an ending one [video=youtube;D_jkbn8Z5pA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_jkbn8Z5pA[/video]
I'd call it Speed Shift if it were up to me, basically the fastest way to Top Gear is to Speed Shift, so why not? SS jokes from Clarkson?
I feel "Ambitious but Rubbish" could work.
Oh boy I'm going to regret posting this Call the show Boaty McBoatface [editline]8th May 2016[/editline] why did i have to do it
[QUOTE=Biscuit-Boy;50279558]why did i have to do it[/QUOTE] Asking myself the same thing right now
I thought the Kok river was Clarksons favourite river.
