    Re: Top Gear on Hold - Clarkson suspended by beeb.

    that will be a confusing branding choice! how many people will end up paying for v the wrong download as a result of that one letter difference?

    That said they could make a thing of this:
    A new fishing show "house of carps",
    Amish merchandise TV sales "house of carts"
    Netflix sports coverage "house of darts"
    The bread and potato cooking show "house of carbs"
    A new version of big-brother, featuring famous people with the name Carl... "house of Carls"
    A buddhist documentary "house of Karma"
    A curry documentary "house of korma"
    A factual exposition on the role of lineage in Indian community "house of castes"
    Not to be confused with the open university summary of the catalogue in the V&A plaster gallery "house of casts"
    And finally the Netflix drama based on the Russian empire "house of Tsars"

    Where will this madness stop? Don't let the genie out of the bottle Netflix! Please find better branding...

    They could always just include Ford motors - Top Ghia.
    Watched the New Zealand TG last night, the repetitive oafishness is just about wearing out for me - new format might keep it going a bit longer.

    that would be comedy. First show they each have to buy a Ghia (type of their choice) and do one of their long-distance challenges in it. That would be comedy. A capri, orion and Scimitar! What's not to like there?

    Edit, one thing that would be truly epic would be to really do a long distance schlep for the entire series. No roving vans of spare parts/cars, no 100 strong support crews. just 3 cars all the way from London, round the world and home again plus a camera crew and a few trained mechanics. Every continent, all 7 of them. (ok maybe more support in antartica) Testing new cars in various race-track locations along the way. It would put their life on hold for a year, but it would be some series to watch. It might even do them good to get away for a bit!

    Better take a decent catering van if they know what's good for them.
