ANGRY fans have demanded that Ben Collins be sacked after he was revealed as UK Top Gear's The Stig.


How pathetic, who cares......he drives fast, all that matters

Does that mean, someone could ask the fans, that because the identity of The Stig has now been revealed, Top Gear will not be as interesting as it once was? Will all the fans be turning off in droves?

The show has been going since 1977 and these days has a very strong following, so I don't think too many people on the show will be worried about losing a few fans.

1133835 2010-09-02 07:34:00 Oh no!!!!! now its in the media. if someone had not made a bic deal then not that many people would have known The Error Guy (14052)
1133836 2010-09-02 07:49:00 but now it is official


I think people were hoping it would be someone famous that we had actually heard of. Someone like an ex formula 1 racer. Now that he is out, they will need a new stig, and he has probably lost a good income.

1133837 2010-09-02 07:56:00 The BBC tried to keep The Stig’s identity under wraps, but lost its battle in the high court. Publishing group HarperCollins, who is publishing Coliins' autobiography, said it was disappointing the BBC had tried to suppress the book.

Hmm trying to get a few more book sales I think.

1133839 2010-09-02 09:40:00 It has been a tradition in the past for the Stig to be replaced when his identity is revealed, but people shouldn't get crazy about it... ryanjames.powell (13554)
