I dunno why people are worryied about, like really the show is that popular its not funny and for the BBC to can it would be nothing short of ludicris. Think about it this way, "The Top Gear word mark and logo are trade marks of the BBC and are used under licence. BBC Magazines is owned by the BBC".
Ok sure thats all well and good but really its the Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond and The Stig show. If they were going to can it im sure there would be a line a ? mile long of other tv companys wanting to pick them up and the fans would watch that.
There never was and never is a chance they will lose one of their most well known shows worldwide.
Do you see my point?
