Anyone else watching tonight?
Dad's Dream: Earn enough money to live the life that his wife and kids do.
Have they started a new series? I watched his old one. It was pretty good. I'm not the biggest fan of Mr May, but he did a decent job with that series and Man Lab.

I don't know if it was new or not. He was running the Isle of Mann on an erector set. Thought it was interesting, but with all British things, it got old quickly.

I don't think I ever made it onto one of his shows but the BBC used my footage in another along with the discovery show.
I really do enjoy most of his shows. They aren't as childish as hamsters shows.
How can anyone not like Captain Slow? I actually quite like his TV personality and would only imagine it funnier in person.
Their new series, a LA after top gear, is slated for Amazon prime release.
I am surprised big balls cancelled top gear

Pretty sure Amazon Prime won the bidding, they will have it back on the air soon (I think?)
According to the latest I've read, Clarkson/Hammond/May's new show has been picked up by Amazon Prime for three 12-episode seasons and has begun filming. Rumor has it it'll be called "Gear Knobs," though that hasn't been confirmed.
And "Top Gear" will be continuing on the BBC with new hosts and a new format. I don't expect it to be very successful.
This article sums it all up pretty well, though some of the info has been updated in the meantime (for example, apparently Guy Martin will not be involved in the new TG after all):
