problem was it was still using the 77 format in 2001 and that's not what the public wanted

You must have stopped liking it in the second series then. As far as I can see it was just a rebrand of Clarksons Car Wars, with a nod to family motoring now an d then.

I like Top Gear (but the American version SUCKED). Has it really been cancelled? Someone was fired/suspended? Who? What for?

I'm scared as now I have a mental picture of JSOP coming through Heathrow airport carrying a bag of guns and hand grenades.

Yes. Or at least the next two episodes.

Clarkson, apparently for throwing a punch at a producer over "dinner arrangements"

the more and more I read the more I think its that Danny bloke, who has had it in for Top gear, seemingly he has tried to can it previously and is rumoured to have been behind the lead of the un-broadcast footage

There must be a thousand people who could take Clarkson's place, and even do a better job of it.
Acting the pillock isn't rocket surgery.

Clarkson is a pretty bright bloke, very creative, who acts the pillock very well, while knowing what he is doing. He is the driving force behind the program, writes most of it, and is responsible for the whole format - he re-invented it after the (frankly dull) Old Top Gear died a death.
If the BBC is involved in selecting a replacement, it will be someone who has no sense of humour but a vast sense of his / her own self-importance. (And a solid eye on making at least as much money as Clarkson did)

Actually Chris Evans seems to be the prime candidate

Just isn't the same anymore without Dave, and frankly I am getting tired of the WJOZZZPPTTCCC crap.

You know, no-one forces you to take part in CCC - not even read it...

I like it, personally.
You get a mix of ideas and different styles of clue, plus it gives people a chance to try and set a clue, which is a very different challenge and harder than most think.

But Ingerlund got their arses kicked before the quarter finals. Great stuff that.

That's not surprising though, is it? The England teams motto has been changed to "Just a bit sh*t"

Yeah we're sh*t, but at least we'll get the satisfaction of seeing New Zealand knock out Aus.
