Top Gear Petition, save the show

An easy way to get names for a motoring spam list.

The site that the petition is used for is well known for scamming email addresses.

If it makes you feel better that you are stopping something that so far no one has said they are going to stop - then fine keep going.
Thanks for the permission :rolleyes:

Do you have any evidence of that, please?

In the past i have entered a once only email address on that site for a petition that was properly thought out, ie gave details of who it was going to be presented to, when it was going to be presented with clear aims. Guess what email address i got spam to?
 
This petition is pointless. Clarkson has already stated that should the BBC cease Top Gear, the three of them will up sticks and take the format to another channel, Channel 4 perhaps - where they'll continue making the programme for as long as they like.

The show is great entertainment which happens to use cars. Clarkson though, while funny, can be overbearingly arrogant. When I saw his incompetence when trying to build the Caterham I was surprised. His criticsm of James May for displaying an ordered competence, was childish.
When he set the caravan on fire (and views in our family vary from deliberate to accidental) the man was completely out of his depth. At that moment his credibility in my eyes, disappeared.

Much of the show is scripted. The fire was carefully planned... I'm a freelance cameraman and something like that needs to be thoughout at the Beeb due to health and saftey rules. A clue is to look at the camera position before the action starts.... if the whole thing is covered from the beginning and from different angles clearly it's been rehearsed.
On the other hand when they have the accident pulling out of the service station and hit the caravan on a post I think that was real.
