Grand Tour was every bit as good as I was expecting, and every bit better than the new Top Gear cast. No offense to Matt LeBlanc, as I like him and if he had joined the cast in a different way I'd have approved.

But the BBC dropped the ball big time. Amazon's gain.
I totally agree that they have suffered hugely as a result but then agsain. In 6 months they had huge complaints about Jeremy s word choices. Amazon I feel will let them do whatever they want with the show, they also have a lot more creative freedoms because of the BBC restrictive policies.

The BBC was in a bit of a tough position b/c Jeremy's behavior that got him fired was problematic because he actually punched someone and even he has said he was having a very tough time and stress got to him and he let it affect him adversely and did things he shouldn't have and regretted, and he's come to the defense of the man he hit stating it wasn't that dude's fault, he didn't deserve it, and people taking JC's "side" and attacking that producer weren't being fair.

That said, prior to the physical altercation, don't kid yourself. The BBC loved the line Jezza walked and occasionally crossed. Controversy drives ratings.

Thing is the BBC kinda has to set a standerd they cant "really" get away with too many contravercies because its a state funded channel. Their actual Policies for Getting shows on the BBC is extremely strict. Lots of youtubers worked with the BBC and ofc because of their policies, none of the stuff they made ever got aired. "because it was too "x thing""

Actually from my understanding they didn't like their producer because he was enforcing that standerd, as it was the only show that aired on BBC one that had not.

Admittedly I am not from the UK and my experience with the BBC is BBC America and watching things on Netflix/AP/etc., so I don't know the specifics in that regard.

But I really think their controversy helped fuel their popularity and the BBC reaped the benefits, even if they were oblivious to it.

But you're right. They were in a tough spot because you can't just let your employees go assaulting each other. It sets a horrible precedent.

Then again, it's not like it'd have been the worst thing a BBC employee did.

I need to get off Facebook for the day. I hate that I live in a part of the state where people can be openly racist without being direct about it.

They can say things like "kids from NYC" and "of course he is from Bronx" when a news article comes out where a black person did something. Then a whole slew of ***about how "kids from NYC" brings nothing but crime and drugs and blah blah blah.

Sorry but in the last year something like 10 meth labs were shut down up here. All the people involved were either locals or Canadian (all of them WHITE).

Hell in the case that spurred this convo it was a black kid from the bronx, he stole one of those donation bottles full of change for the animal shelter. This past summer an elderly woman did the same thing, but stole multiple bottles from different locations. But the reaction on facebook only came when the black kid did it, the talk about bring out guns and "defending our territory" only came out then.

Then when I point out the racism "WHOA WHOA nobody was saying anything RACIST we just said 'CITY KIDS' they COULD be white too! Actually YOU are the one being racist by implying that I am racist!"

Sorry if this is too P&R for RT, but I just needed to rant because I hate that this is affecting my life. I hate that people are allowed to be this way and that standing up against it just gets replies about being a liberal hippy cry *** whatever.

I'm gunna take a bath and draw some anime titties.
