Not the best way to end the "current" Top Gear. BBC had no choice...

That waiter has to be a spoof... I couldn't watch it to the end; his laugh was annoying me too much. As you say, he seemed like a character off the Fast Show's Channel 9 news (Sminky pinky, scorchio).

That "waiter" is well known and good for all different purposes (e.g. Austrian tax reform comments): http://dietagespresse.com/schockierendes-video-die-wahrheit-ueber-die-steuerreform/(for the youtube vid scroll down to the 2nd window)

I agree that was a very good bit.

Like any relationship that goes bad draw a line and move onto something better. Lets hope Auntie comes up with a totally new format and not try to breath new life into the moribund one.

Top Gear is the world's most watched factual programme, it plays in over 200 countries and earns the BBC an estimated £150 million a year. Whatever you might think of it, it's the format that is the valuable commodity. ~iw

It will be interesting to see which way Auntie goes with it now - a drastic change of format is long overdue IMHO.
They achieved it with Not the Nine'O'Clock news after Angus got a bit wild, and the rolling change of chair has improved the program.

I quite like the idea of at least one rolling presenter. My peverse humour would also like to see the other two stay on, but with a big lanky Stig (with a belly obviously)- the implication being that it's Clarkson. Maybe that would be rubbing his face in it though. I'll get my coat.......
