Remember that the BBC retain not only the title but the format of Top Gear, so there wouldn't be a SIARPC anyway; just as there won't be a Stig. Car reviews, trips and shenanigans are fine.

I thought this was for 2015 till I registered the date- bummer. I've heard rumours that the show has been cancelled but can't find any confirmation. Does anyone know for sure?

Ah, but whose suggested changes? What you think would improve the show might ruin it for me and vice versa. I'd be interested to know what the rationale is behind this exercise.

I was reading the Car Lounge forum and came across this from Rutledge Wood:-OP:"TG US might have half a chance IF the interaction between the presenters was anywhere close to the TG UK guys.

Thanks for drawing attention to this - I shall always think of Clarkson as Jerameee from now on. Just crazy. I never imagined Top Gear had such a following in Italy.

Not in the UK - socialized medicine, remember. All the rest though, yeah!

Thanks for the replies. I think maybe I'd imagined that a US show, with US cars more prominently featured, and with US cultural references, might have generated more interest on the forum, since TGUK is still a very British show - not just with SIARPC, which I know a lot of international viewers...

This is an American site with, I assume, a majority US membership (I'm a Brit) and Top Gear US is generally agreed to have improved massively, with Top Gear UK being seen by some as on a downward slope, so why are the episode discussions for TGUK still averaging 8/9/10 pages while TGUS struggles...

BBC 1 Graham Norton Show 30 November 2012 "6/18 Graham is joined by Jake Gyllenhaal, Joan Rivers, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Ke$ha." Presumably this is to hype the DVD but , even so, the thought of seeing Jake Gyllenhaal on the couch, beside the two of them, is delicious.

"collected between hard covers for the first time" - doesn't this imply the book is simply some of his newspaper columns reprinted?

Richard confirms in the Mirror :"The motoring series, which he presents alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May, returns for a 19th run next year." (sad face)
