Rampant piracy will just mean that many who can legally get it, will simply choose a illegal download or dubious stream instead

Why dont they see this ?


It's not airing til 2016 so they have a few months to make the service more widely available.

I do like TG, but I've been thoroughly pi**ed off with Clarkson :
+1

It got old pretty quick.

1405623 2015-08-01 03:11:00 Loved TG, but hated the videos - there were never enough proper views of the cars. So I'm not bothered that it stuffed itself. Greg (193)

I liked it purely for the entertainment factor, rather than roads tests of cars that I could never afford :p
It had become a comedy/reality show more than anything, much like the US Top Gear became .
Making it less a true car show , and making it pure entertainment is what gave it such a huge audience . Plenty of true car shows that had only a very small
viewing audience

I'll have to check out that Roadkill show .

Jay Leno has more of a true car show, being an collector/restorer .

www.bbc.com

Clarkson, May & Hammond have been signed to make a new series of a particular car show, for Amazon Prime.
Cant wait. May possibly be even less politically correct than before.
So where does that leave the 'official' new Top gear ? dead in the water? BBC's TG without Clarkson will have to be damn near perfect in order to survive

Im not sure about Amazon Prime, can we get in in NZ with using a VPN type service?
The website seems(to me) just a mess without easy to find info, ie pricing. I wouldnt even look twice at that website otherwise
Not good when I have to use wiki to find out just what prime is all about .

Yes, you'll need a VPN

Plus:

From Amazon.com:


Amazon Prime is just $99/year

That's US dollars of course.

At current rates, around NZ$150, or $12.50 a month.

About the same as Netflix and Lightbox (if you're actually paying for Lightbox!)
