GutBomb posted:I would imagine that Amazon simply offered more money either in the form of salary or budget. I've just realised that Top Gear were able to do so well, because of the BBC's money - which came from UK taxpayers. Now they have been bought by Amazon, which has so much money because it dodges UK tax. i have no idea what, if any, my point is, though.

The rumor is Amazon is paying them (the trio + producer) $250M for a season of a new car show in the style of Top Gear. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ianmorris/2015/07/31/amazons-250-million-spend-on-top-gear-trio-is-actually-great-value/

Edit: from that link, it looks like it's actually for 3 seasons, and that's the budget for the entire show, so about $7m per episode out of which everything has to come.

Will be interesting to see how this turns out. It used have way more than just petrolheads tuning in, but it was a prime time Sunday show after all. How many will tune in behind a regionally limited paywall?

I also wouldn't be surprised if the first episode was free. Sell that poo poo heroin style. All this presupposes that it turns out to be any good.

I know it would be sad, but I want some version of James, Jeremy, and Richard's Top Gear to go on long enough so one of them is killed while filming. It would be tragic, but I want to hear one of them say the line that they have agreed on if one of them is killed. "Sadly, (insert name) was killed in the making of that segment(moment of silence)...Anyway..."

I'm sure I could google but ehn, the mystery's probably funnier
