I agree there should be a charge as per one reviewer claiming we have no idea, but nearly £2 an episode is not even remotely competitive, who watches tv enough on their mobile to pay that! A monthly pass like amazon and Netflix makes sense giving a choice of any show not having to commit to one show or season! Rethink!

This use to be a great show, but honestly do not bother wasting your time with this anymore. New cast has ruined the show, they should have let the show go out on a high after they axed Clarkson. The BBC is just clutching at straws to try and keep it going. BBC's new Flop Gear what a JOKE!

Love this show untill the original trio left. New lot, I like Rory and I like Matt. But I don't like Chris Harris, he is too much of a selfish big headed arse for my liking. If they got rid of him and put Sabina in his place, kept the old studio and gave Rory more of a slack on his leash, I would like this show ALMOST as much as the grand tour.
