It's all about ratings, the crude people don't provide a significant enough portion towards ratings for our opinions to be heard properly.

The do gooders who flick through channels looking for something to complain about somehow have a bigger say.. But I guess that because they are the [b]only[/b] ones to complain anyway

Clarkson makes Top Gear for me. I really don't know what else he's involved in as Top Gear and Doctor Who are the only shows I watch (on BBC America) so I'm pretty in the dark right now about how huge this scandal is but I'm having a hard time giving a shit. He practically makes the show, they can fuck it up if they want but I don't see what they gain, except for making TV less interesting to me, and trust me, it's already on its last legs for me.

I like that BBC is willing to stand up against a popular show. I don't like that they're doing it for a stupid reason.

Seriously, its Jeremy Clarkson.
For the most part anything that comes out of his mouth i don't even take that seriously.

Every panel show ever? I've watched basically every episode of QI and they've never shied away from anything.

I love it how execs see stuff
"20 people complained about last night's episode. That means 20 billion people were angered by it. We must change things"

Best part is how I learned that "slope" is a racist word from someone pointing out the racism in it. Thanks oversensitive person! Now I can be extra racist!

[QUOTE=ravingzombie1;45767194]Anyone considering writing in and complaining to the BBC about the way they are going about this, seeing as they take a minute amount of complaints on board?[/QUOTE]

I sure would.
If not just to warn them in a very apocalyptic way on how them changing the show would bring doom to them.
