Top Gear teases its new season, starting in March
Found on Ars Technica on Tuesday, 21 February 2017
Hang in there, because the BBC's Top Gear is almost back. Last season ended in some ignominy. Ratings were awful, and Chris Evans took responsibility and duly fell on his sword.
Lest we forget, the magic that was Clarkson, Hammond, and May firing on all cylinders also took some time to develop. Nor is that trio immune to making boring TV, either; there was plenty not to enjoy about The Grand Tour as its season wore on.
Top Gear is dead. Plain and simple. The BBC ended it by firing Clarkson, justified or not.
