    .......STOP running the episode where they reveal that The Stig is Michael Schumacher. I am getting tired of crying. Please? I hope some British BBC ass**** will see this. I hate the sadness.

    My favorite clip of any season. It's good to see a FXX being thrashed to it's full potential by the greatest of all time.

    I love that episode. Actually, I wasn't surprised when the helmet came off since the black FXX was so distinctive as Schumacher's, but it was still a great bit.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I hope BBC rots in hell for all eternity.

    Sacking Clarkson was the dumbest move in TV history in a LONG time.

    That's true Andreas. However, Clarkson was at fault.

    I'm looking forward to having TWO shows to watch. God knows if the rebooted TG will be any good with Evans, but I'll give it a try.
    And whatever show "the three" end up with is bound to be decent. I can't help but think being forced into a new show will only bring back some of the spark that was missing from the past few years of TG. Can't wait to see what the new show is like.

    Does anybody know dates for either show?

    The BBC (or at least BBC America) has run Top Gear into the ground with the
    constant repeats. Talk about cheapening the product.

    Instead of a steady stream of new episodes, they're constantly doing weekend
    long marathons of end to end Top Gear which only exposes the show's weaknesses
    (few as though they may be).

    Rather looking forward to what Chris Evans does with the show. We know him to
    be the "Howard Stern of the U.K" and that he's a genuine collector of fine automobiles.
    Side kicks are rumored to be actual F-1 drivers (David Coulthard or Eddie Irvine) which
    would add some spice. Read something about Jay Kay possibly being in the mix as well,
    that would be cool.

    With regard to the Schumacher episode, seen it since the accident and frankly rather
    made me smile.

    But enough with the reruns BBC, they're milking it for all it's worth and right now that
    ain't much.
