    Is Top Gear in danger?

    BBC World today reported that the BBC is going to lay off a total of 6,000 people due to it's financial situation and that there will be programing changes. Do our UK members think Top Gear might be canceled? God I hope not!

    Doubt it.

    The revisions at the BBC will hopefully trim the utterly crap daytime schedule.

    Top Gear is one of the BBCs few good programmes, if they do axe it they are stupid beyond belief.

    Don't forget that the BBC is a wide ranging organisation responsible for making hundreds of programmes on both TV and Radio in the UK, as well as its world wide news and internet services.
    Thanks for all the fish

    Lets hope you're right Coventry I got concerened because the report stated that all areas of the BBC will encounter personel lay offs. Administrative, finance, programing, production and so on. Lets hope Jeremy Clarkson has some major clout in the BBC.

    I would think that they would be rediculously stupid if the cut it. I happen to think it is one of the best car shows around. And I don't even live in Britian!

    Does anyone have an idea how Top Gear is doing in the ratings in comparison to other shows on UK TV?

    the BBC im sure ahs a HUGE number of emplyees. and Top Gear has a comparatively small number, even comared to 6000, so it would be foolish to knock it off when there are not that many employees and it would not make a significant impact. however, im guessing its one of the more expensive shows to produce.

    Exactly, that's why I got worried. I hope they make a lot more for the BBC than they spend

    I don't think they will. If they do they should be shot.

    Top gear is the only car program on british TV other than 30 minutes of 5th gear once a week.

    if they got rid of that i thknk they would loose alot of viewers at that time

    You MIGHT find the Beeb aren't so willing to fund jaunts to Verbier though
