NBC are making a US version of Top Gear.
The main question on my lips is why? That and, which one's supposed to be James May, is he amusingly sexually ambiguous and does he have immaculate spanners?
I suppose it might be alright for those who think Top Gear's a show about cars but - WHY does American TV persist in doing this? If there's a great US show then a British TV company will buy it and show it in all its American glory. We rarely feel the need to remake said show in our own image (resulting in major FAIL). It seems no one listens to Jay Leno anymore.
I wait with baited breath for the eppy when they drive wrecks around Chipping Norton with... ??? painted on their...???
- and here my pre-coffee imagination is defeated. I'm trying to come up with slogans as offensive to middle-English sensibilities as 'Man Love Rules' apparently was in Alabama and failing. Maybe the Flist can help?
