    The important thing is that they understand the dangers. We don't ban motor racing.
  • Flintoff walked away without a scratch he said. He was medically checked as a precaution. Hammonds injury was 13 years ago.

    Bit of an over reaction I think.
  • It might be time for them to cancel it as it is crap though.....
  • might be a stunt to boost the viewing figures

    Now this I can back
  • Should have been cancelled the moment Clarkson | Hammond | May left

    BBC were never going to be able to compete with whatever they went to setup

    Flintoff is more wooden than one of his old bats.

    These days the show is more like a tribute band to the original.
  • These days the show is more like a chimpanzee tribute band to the original.  There's the same number of 'contributors', pretending to fanny about with cars and the sig tune is the same but there the similarities end.
    piss poor pastiche - Flintoff is dead from the neck up and the other northern ape defies even my lexicon

    Sue Baker, one of the early presenters on long-running BBC motoring show Top Gear, has died at the age of 75.

    The presenter and journalist, who had motor neurone disease (MND), died on Monday, her family said.

    Baker joined Top Gear in 1980, three years after its launch, and appeared in more than 100 episodes.

    She left in 1991, going on to set up the Motor Racing News Service based at the Brands Hatch race track. She was also the Observer's motoring editor.
