The long-running (over 45 years!) automobile show has been taken out of 
production  by the Beeb following an October 22 high-speed crash involving 
host Freddie Flintoff, of which BBC Studios, the for-profit division that 
actually produces the show and most other in-house productions, had to pay 
out an over $11M settlement--the call was made based on an investigation of 
the show's health and safety practices following the crash (which the Beeb 
would not reveal):

The overseas licensed versions of "Top Gear" continue (which at this time 
does not include the U.S.).
