I'm not a fan, but he does seem to have either a big or a loud fan base so I wonder what will happen.

I personally think he got too big for his boots about 5 years ago, and Top Gear has gone downhill since. I don't know what the viewing figures are, but I understand it is one of the shows that actually makes, rather than costs the BBC money so wondered what people,s thoughts were....

Great show, funny man. Always pushing the envelope of what the droids at the beeb consider acceptable. A breath of fresh air in a stifled, stultified world of political correctness.

Is punching people and making racist jokes really "pushing the envelope"?
