Top Gear USA cancelled, BBC confirms

Top Gear USA has been cancelled, the BBC has confirmed.

The programme, broadcast on the History channel in the US, is a spin-off from the popular motoring series and not the version shown in the UK starring Matt LeBlanc and Chris Evans.

Presenter Rutlege Wood first announced the news on Facebook - and suggested the show could return on a new channel.

"I'm not saying Top Gear is done, but it's done for the immediate future on History," he wrote.

It's pretty big shoes to fill and hard act to follow of the 3 larrikins the public like so much,

I guess that the UK show will probably go on, but just to spite Clarkson and Co......

The UK show is a mere shadow of what it was... a poorly scripted one at that!

The US show was crapola

Do the same for the UK one, please.

Managed 30 minutes of the first episode this season.

that was 30 minutes too much.

I thought that the US version was crap, then I watched 2 of the new "post Clarkson" episodes and realized that BBC had managed to make the "original" even worse!

Did anyone ever see the Indian version they flirted with for a while?

"This Puch Maxi has some real growl in heavy Mumbai traffic!", etc.

Comedy gold.

Well 5 to 6 million viewers per week did want Clarkson, et al, foul mouth never, racist ?...maybe to the professionally offended, and lets face it, before the show even started, there was a warning that the show may contain content people might find offensive..

If a show warns there maybe be nudity, and it does and you choose to watch, you can hardly be offended of scenes of nudity can you and start complaining, you were warned
