I think it didn't help with the audience when the show left BBC America for
the Road & Track channel.

I thought the late Sabine Schmitz was a great presenter on the series, but
nobody else was able to conjure a fraction of the chemistry of the big trio, no
matter how hard they tried. And they tried hard.

I'll be honest, I didn't even realize the flagship show was still running. I
know it continued after the Clarkson/Hammond/May exodus, but I quickly lost
interest in it.

The story acting as if “Freddie” is his real name is hilarious to me. (It’s
Andrew)
He’s made a few public appearances this summer, as he was getting back into
coaching cricket, and it looks like he still has some way to go to recover.

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.).
