Last Top Gear, ever?

[ItsDave]

Anyone else see the ending to tonight's Top Gear. It's left me baffled. Although was a very good episode.

[Misawa]

I certainly hope so.

[ItsDave]

Don't like it then?

[Invent]

I certainly hope so.

I for one, do not :)

[Wahey]

Doubt it, Top Gear is a strong going programme, would of heard the news leaked ages ago, so no

[ItsDave]

Thats a good point, but, the ending is slightly confusing, unless it was like a tribute to Aston Martin's or fast cars everywhere.

[Judge Judy]

They said at the news part that it's the last of the series but we be back in November.
Read in newspapers it'll be on in November cause today Lewis Hamilton was going to be the star in reasonably priced car but cause the track was wet and wanted LH to 'own' everyone on a dry track they changed it to Jay Leno.

[Wahey]

It's abit like when on Nevermind the Buzzcocks, they made out Simon Amstell died, so was going to be the end of the series but you would of heard on the news that he died:P So obv there was going to be another series and there was a few months later:P

[Indie-Dan]

I was left baffled watching it too but if you turn it all over in your head it makes sense. During that end, Jeremy does explain that the end is near for mental fast cars like that new Aston, so this "test" was in a way, a tribute towards cars such as the new Vantage, hence the shots of th pictures of fast cars. Jeremy's emotional way in which he said goodbye can only hint at, and I'm guessing, his belief in his theory of dying supercars is genuine, and for someone as obsessed with fast cars as him, it's no wander he was on a downer towards the end.
Also a quick Shazam on the music brought up the song to be Brian Eno's "An Ending" summing it up nicely.

As for "the last top gear ever", I doubt this will be anytime soon. Top Gear is one of the most successful Beeb shows of all time and in these times of economic difficulty, i doubt the BBC can afford to cancel Top Gear.

The BBC is funded by the taxpayer, believe me if it was private it certainly wouldn't be able to pay people like Jonathan Ross six million+. :P - As for Top Gear its a good show, I am not interested in cars but I like Top Gear.

Lewis Hamilton has been on there before and was on the F1 driver's board as it is unfair for him to race against other celebrities.

[syko2006]

I hope not. :(

It was a very dramatic ending though.

[Santorefish]

was very confusing ending, but they said they would be back in november? or was is some other time, this year anyway

[ecstasy]

It was a tribute to fast cars wasn't it? Surely if it was gonna be the last episode, they woulda done a tribute to the whole show.

That's what i would've thought

[Technologic]

Top Gear has gone down this series... I mean, what's with all the sex jokes? Seriously. It's like a 12 year old edits their scripts

[Mint]

Lmao surely the ending wasn't that difficult to understand? With it being the last episode of the series it's obviously going to be a while until the next Top Gear series. During the time that it isn't on, supercars will be dying out so they just wanted to end the series on a tribute to all the fast cars out there that won't be around for much longer.

[CJW93]

Top Gear will be back. How can it end its amazing

[AlexOC]

Anyone got a link to the ending video?

I MISSED IT :(

[Black_Apalachi]

Top Gear is probably my favourite show on TV. I try to overlook how much of an arse Jezza really is :P and how scripted it all is and just enjoy it. It's amazing. That being said, I am not even concerned about this being the end of TG, simply because it just isn't.


Lewis Hamilton has been on there before and was on the F1 driver's board as it is unfair for him to race against other celebrities.

He did his lap on a wet and greasy track and still achieved an outstanding time. The Stig (and everyone else) believed if it had been a dry track, he would have performed significantly better and probably took the top spot. So he said if they'd have him back some time he'd love to have another go. I didn't know he was scheduled to make a reappearence but there you go, something to look forward to in the next series perhaps :).

Captain slow FTW<3
