Yes, of course, given Jeremy Clarkson a new contract with the Beeb, the chicken with the golden eggs kill you. But how fun is it that there is probably a new series of Top Gear coming?

Where Jeremy Clarkson is, there is something, thanks to the bad chemistry between elephant in the china cabinet Clarkson and the surplus of people with a lot of long toes on this planet. Usually we look at it from a distance, shaking the head or smiling, and then go on to the order of the day.

How serious the threat of the BBC was to break up with Jezza, we don’t know, but British media are reporting that the man we all love to hate at least until 2018 at the Beeb (no, not this). So, that means probably 3 new seasons of Top Gear. Or, better said, 6 new seasons, since in Top Gear-land a few loose episodes in a period of half a year for a complete season to continue.

With the contract with the public omproep would be around 12 million GBP (15 million euros) involved, according to The Mirror. Because Balkenende standards are Calvinist Dutch in the UK is just the market rate paid.

We must now cheers lighthouse? Meh. I get at the ever more clearly directed and forced Top Gear a little bit the Rolling Stones-feel: a club a lot of old men who had long ago had to stop, but the same trick. You can, however, only so much masking with the bombastic show around it, ultimately it is down to a repetition of tricks, and comes to float to the top that everyone would have been better if there is already a point behind.

But yes, that delicious money that it brings, eh…
