That's because you don't know what goes on over there. Top Gear the program and its presenters (especially Clarkson) are under constant complaints from various pressure groups that disagree with what they do, including MPs and certain political parties etc. Always has been. Now, this will be a great oppurtunity and excuse for them to use against the show.b00n said:si|verfish, I doubt that there would be any restrictions that would hamper all the tough acts in the shows.
All the shows conduct werer being properly prepared and precautions are being made in details.
But accidents do happens; thus it's being recognise as a "Stunt".
"Richard is winning his fight. And now mine begins. To make sure that he has a show to come back to."
-Jeremy Clarkson
That's the least of their worries. Those are like petty complaints (like from caravan owners). The biggest criticisms comes from environmentalists and those who are overtly health and safety concious.b00n said:Anyway, I thought all this while the complains are merely towards how prejudice and sacarstic he was towards commenting on different makes and never on the stunts that the program does (ok, minus the destroying of "useless" cars)
The fate of Top Gear, the BBC motoring show, depends on whether presenter Richard Hammond can recover from last week’s high-speed car crash, its executive producer said yesterday.
Andy Wilman, the man credited with turning Top Gear into BBC2’s most popular programme, said he could not imagine the series returning without Hammond. Wilman also threatened to quit if the corporation attempts to “tone down” the programme’s irreverent attitude and relish for speed. Presenter Jeremy Clarkson said he, too, would defy critics who “don’t like Top Gear and would love to see it off the screens”.
The road safety minister has defended the high-octane stunts performed on the BBC’s Top Gear programme and described the presenter Richard Hammond as an “adventurer” after he was seriously injured in a 300mph crash.
