it's a government show. I'm sure that changes things quite a bit...
Just a 'quick correction'...
The BBC is a publically funded broadcaster...but not a government body....
The only bit of 'government' imposed broadcasting is the obligation to put both sides of the argument to the public...like the road pricing issue...
The BBC use the public funding to 'buy' or comission private companies or their own to make programmes.
In the case of JC I think there is an issue if whether or not they want to carry on buying the show....There has been a lot of back lash from the Hamster's accident and it has affected ALL car shows on UK TV, not just Top Gear...
He probably knows that nobady has purchased or order the next series, whilst the Beeb knows it wants to, but not for how much or when...
It will be interesting to see what happens.
