save Topgear

I agree with the above. What also gets me is surely, I know he has a young family, but he has shown to be a little "extreme". If people like this were not around then land speed records and the like wouldn't exist, or be broken.

Live and let live - with no regrets!

the "new! revamped!" fifth gear is even worse than it was before imo (and i was never a fan), that new presenter they've got appears to be a complete knob, but on the bright side there seems to be less of Tiffany

as a devoted top gear viewer since the early 90's i love the program, it's had ups and downs over the years, the last series seemed to be a bit Groundhog Day (hang about, they've done this stunt/race/celebrity before!)

and i know it's in poor taste but am i the only one who suspects that this "300mph+ critical life support crash" is a bit fishy given mr hammonds remarkably speedy recovery?

Its a shame the Hammond accident happened, as I think Top Gear was getting better and better. Even Fifth Gear is pullig out the stops to try and gain ratings from Top Gear with a recent feature on Tiff Needell driving a Lambo murchielago around Castle Combe and being chased by a helicopter - Why?  

Stunts like these I think can ruin the program IMHO.

I hope the show won't suffer tooo much, hopefully it will be Hammond who has the last decision and I wouldn't be suprised if the actually include his jet car runs and accident in a Top Gear episode soon.
