That certainly applies to Hammond, not sure about James May. His segments on Top Gear are generally the better ones imo of course. He is certainly more entertaining than Chris Evans.

Chris Evans? I thought that he was seen as a bigger twonk than Clarkson, or is he popular again now? James May should take over. He likes a laugh but not in the obnoxious Clarkson manner.

But we do have to subscribe to the people carrying the channel, who pay the BBC to carry it.

Yes, but they have no input whatsoever as to what is in each program. On a separate tack, it is only when you live abroad that you truly appreciate how good the BBC is.

Very true. Just trying to make the point that millions of people around the world enjoy his show for whatever reason.

If Clarkson were that objectionable, 350m people worldwide would not watch his show. Perhaps this is actually what this is all about - have the ratings for this series gone down at all I wonder?

And for the first time, this series is being shown on BBC Entertainment here on the same night it is transmitted in the UK, so I assume it is worldwide as well. That would not come cheaply for the host satellite/cable companies either.
