We pretty much all know this, but BBC2's Controller, Roly Keating, has stated in an interview with Media Gaurdian that Top Gear is staying where it is.
Hurrah, say I.

Traditional ideas with a twist have brought in big audiences - Dragons' Den, Coast, Tribe, Springwatch, Who Do You Think You Are? and The Apprentice all launched on his watch. For some time there has been speculation over whether Top Gear (with audiences that can top six million) would follow those last two to BBC1. But Keating insists not. "Top Gear is going through an extraordinary moment but it's constantly challenging itself in a BBC2-ish way." So it's staying then? "That's the plan."
Hurrah, say I.
