Could you do a similar video regarding clarkson or may

I would LOVE to see a video like this, but for James May. Reallllly well made, you did a great job :)

I met them all at Dunsfold. We were doing a balloon trip over Surrey but due to a sudden change in weather we had to land at Dunsfold stopping Top Gear filming. Great guys.

Big fan of the reboot original with Jeremy Richard an James and i always took what ever Jeremy said with a pinch of salt, cus he was just "that" guy, but Chris Evan, totally hated him since i was younger and honestly was not interested in seeing him of all people take over leading Top Gear. Not watched one of the newer series, i still go back and watch the older ones though, Chris Evans? Jog the f on!

More than 2 years later, and Ive just watched your content for about two hours. Cheers

I was one of those teenage girls who fancied the crap out of him in the 2000s. 12 year old me cried the day he had the dragster accident, and went into a depressive state at the end of 2006, ended up being hospitalised for unrelated illness November that year as well. The day he returned on TV for TG my depressive episode left. It did later return bc bullied and abused Autistic kid in school being mocked for being in love with Hammo. I still would do him mind you 😅 I grew past the hormonal lust and loved the person he is more than his boyish charms. I have massive respect for him. Whenever I faced troubling times I always tried to be brave like him. Simply amazing documentary man! You went all out <3

This was amazing

"Combined age of over 150" is such a wild use of statistics lmao

Thank you so much

33:50 The use of Rae and Christian as a soundtrack deserves an ovation. Ive not heard that song in years.

This is probably the best video on this subject I've seen, so many factual points throughout. Respect to the creator for that. Top Gear was lightning in a bottle in the best sense. Never before or since have so many of the correct elements been brought together to create absolute magic. It was never always for car lovers, or entertainment junkies, or the casual bystanders. It was for everyone, because at one point or another, with every respect to its subject matter, everyone could find something in it that they could relate to. It was a triumph of emotion over subjectivity, which every great TV series requires. And for me at least, the sole reason for paying for a TV license. Recent series have never and could never match it. The BBC were supremely short sighted in believing that replacing Clarkson, Hammond and May would garner similar viewing figures. They had a chance to create something new and fresh. It would have been a gamble for sure, but I'd have respected them for trying. As it stands, copy and pasting the show without that key ingredient of the chemistry was a fools errand, and they've paid the price

Does anyone know the what the Arabic music is called in the intro?

James May is the greatest presenter ever!

22:35 this was also adapted in canada and in india only the canadian adaptation filming in buffalo usa and the indian adaptation filming in mumbai!!!

What do you mean most men don't like Hammond I don't have a favorite on that show they are all the greatest of all time and I do absolutely love Richard Hammond as well as his daughter Izzy who is an absolute sweetheart

How could the punch up happen 6 hours after filmkng at Dunsfold when it happened after a day of filming in Yorkshire?!

wtf australia has camels?

Oh my. I think I just solved another mystery while watching this video. At 50:33 when you bring the upscaled image in closer, I'm fairly certain that its goatse. I wouldn't recommend looking that up after eating. But; I can rest assured it wasn't JUST tailpipe man that was shown in the studio.

pal at a bull - aside from that - top hole old chap

The BBC didn't undestand Top Gear and made the most nonsensical casting decisions. Top Gear needed likeable and relatable people, not "cool" car people. It needed people like Chris O'Dowd, Matt Berry, Karl Pilkington...

Euro egg cap 😃

Totally overlooked Nissan patrol!

He's originally from my home town (Shirley, Solihull) but left the area when I was a kid. He returned to the area to shoot an episode of top gear because I noticed the petrol station he was filming at.

Hammond has a great heart.

Is your sis single?

Longest was to say activists ran TV station gatekept the industry then got upset when they realized not everyone is a fellow activists.

Top has fallen Billions must Gear

Imagine not knowing anything about TopGear and hear "Tonight, the 36-year old is in hospital in Leeds after crashing in a jet-powered car*. It sounds so weird without context XD

Most of this video is pretty rock solid and has some very fair criticisms of how Top Gear, as a program, has been left to stagnate due to the BBC's own incompetence and greed, but I do disagree on two points. Firstly, I don't think "BBC's values" had as much to do with Clarkson getting fired, as you might. I'm more inclined to apply Occam's Razor, and believe that a corporation this mired in its own mediocrity and oldfashioned hierachy couldn't stand to have people working for them, who had the social clout and fame to effectively tell leadership to shove it up where the sun don't shine - which I don't doubt Jeremy did, frequently and emphatically, behind closed doors,. He's an opinionated old Boomer with rockstar power, of course he's going to piss some high-falutin suit off, who doesn't understand how loyal people can be to their friends and parasocial buddies on TV. I do think him being inappropriate with female staff should be the big issue it was at the time - Clarkson's an asshole, we all know it, and it'd have been good for him to take the public flack for not acting right with other people - but I absolutely also believe the BBC used it as a smokescreen to fire him for a publically justifiable reason. Simplest solution, they didn't like that he had the power in their profesionally relationship, so they thought they could boot him and take his shit, when the opportunity presented itself. The values thing was just a bunch of corporatespeak they didn't actually give a fuck about, and never have. Secondly, I don't necessarily think the BBC has to be fudging their numbers, because there isn't an online fandom. Plenty of TV shows have millions of entirely casual viewers, who tune in, because it's something familiar, and they're not really fussed about the quality of what they're watching. Do I doubt WB-D or British media could be lying to make themselves look good? Nah, I think they're capable of that just fine. But again, Occam's Razor. It's much more likely modern Top Gear now sits at the same table as Big Mouth, Young Sheldon, every fucking American medical and CSI show under the sun, and The Simpsons - shows, which don't have much of a pressence in online spaces or that much of a dedicated fanbase to speak of, but would or will likely keep going, because millions of people tune in to watch something familiar and turn their brains off for an episode or two. It's not much of a spot to occupy, but it's a stable position, and I'd much sooner believe that casual audiences exist than some grand conspiracy by several massive media companies to pump up the ratings of a single half-alive IP, which lost its cultural relevance not that far from a decade ago. Again, absolutely solid video, and you're spot-on about why most of us just... don't care for Top Gear's post-Clarkson/Hammond/May eras. It's a soulless cashgrab imitation of something that used to be three friends fucking around with eachother or expensive/trash cars or both, just having a good time and talking about something they truly knew their shit on the subject of. It's just not the same without that earnest passion and friendly ribbing, and the BBC needs to figure out where this show should go from here, rather than try to artifically keep this ghost of a show alive with any random three hosts they think have moderate chemistry in front of the camera. But they won't, because that'd mean taking risks, when they might finally be seeing semi-comfortable numbers and don't have to directly compete with the boys anymore. Why change a formula they still profit off of, even if the soul of the show's long gone? The suits don't care, so long as it keeps casual audiences happy.

Well Done!

I despised Chris Evans the second he opened his shouty mouth on his first episode on TG.

I admit Hamster is my least favorite in the trio, however they're all great so that don't matter. Hamster's own shows is were he truly shine.

This guy should start a farm show.

19:30 lolz saying "fact" on any online social network is just desperate

go woke go broke !!! Long Live god king Emperor Jeremy Clarkson

Chris Harris is friends with James May, and is also the only competent presenter of the current crop. Coincidence? I think i would like to see him on a new series, but with people that arent imbeciles as co presenters

One of the things that I liked about top gear before, was that they were unapologetic and quintessential British.. they were genuinely funny and charismatic, and while they were not really edgy, it was not the sanitized, soulless, generic,, dribble they squirt out a the bbc's ass today.. it also reeks, little by little, of forcedly diverse for "modern audiences" No one cares about 3 douches playing with cars if you dont care about the douches or if the program reeks of corporate bs.. The amount of woke cuckery on the bbc and UK in general is astonishing

Hammond is my favorite

Regular men doing regular men stuff is too much for psychopathic epstein islander ceos. so fucking funny.

Car Share was weak. Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle and Flowers (Julian Barratt) are fantastic.

Stewart Lee & Julian Barratt are comedy geniuses and are still massively relevant putting out better content than they ever have. Do your research. And, there was definitely a slant on that bridge.

Well, I’m sold on watching the first 22 series lol. It’s amazing when people that work on shows or projects like these that have nothing but passion and deeply rooted knowledge for the source material. It’s infectious as you can really see the amount of care that people like Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May etc, put into talking about and showing off their craft. I’ve never watched a full episode, however whenever it was on the hosts chemistry pulled me in, even if it was for a moment to watch and care for a subject that has never quite grabbed me in a way in which others have. To compare it to a topic I love, it is very similar in nature to Konami’s treatment of Team Silent and Silent Hill as a brand as a whole. You have this group of people who want nothing other than to put 110% into their work, only for the company to value money over talent which then leads to letting go of original staff, who are the driving force behind the popularity of the brand. Then continuing to beat a dead horse of a franchise for the next 20 years or at best, delivering a product that mimics its original creation, yet lacks that semblance of a soul it once had. Plus the bastardisation just shoots the company in the foot in the long run, so what even is the point TLDR: thank you RUclips for recommending me this video, it was extremely well put together, and kept me engaged a full 2 hours 👍👍👍👍

44:14 I put those exact "gopping Trafficstar wheels" on my E39 and I remember having to sell a lot more weed than I smoked to afford them 😂 2004 feels like a million years ago and also just like yesterday

he sound younger...

Bro, i wanna watch this, but a two hour hit piece on the new top gear is crazy. Someone get me an abridged 30 min version

I thought Matt, Rory and Chris were a great team and I was starting to enjoy Top gear again with those 3. Sadly Matt left the show to move back to the US and the team split up. Haven't enjoyed an episode since.

why aren’t more people viewing this, top class

they put a woman in charge with an agenda. bingo got rid of that male white privlage nonsence,now wheres RuPauls phone number.

Hammond's old charger is still around, its now orange and is currently on the road

just read it bro the AI voice really sounds awful
