Yeah the quality is sub par, but I didn’t know about the commercials. I have something installed that blocks ads/commercials on my laptop so it’s not an issue.

Judging by Hamster’s goatee, we’ve clearly entered the darkest timeline.

I think all of this is great! we’re not losing one car show that was about done anyway, but getting two new ones.

Sound like ITV is out:

> Jeremy Clarkson is not allowed to make a car show with ITV for two years, according to terms of his last contract with the BBC, reports say.

> The contract, believed to be worth around £3m a year, contained a clause preventing him from signing with a rival British broadcaster for a fixed term after finishing work on Top Gear.

> The revelation makes on-demand streaming services Amazon and Netflix the most likely home for any new show fronted by Clarkson and his former Top Gear colleagues, James May and Richard Hammond. Amazon and Netflix both broadcast in the UK but are based in the US so would not be covered by the clause.

Also:

> Referring to the appointment of Chris Evans as his replacement on Top Gear, Clarkson said: “I hope Chris enjoys running what, for the next couple of weeks, is the world’s biggest car show.”

Really happy to see it won’t be going to ad revenue based ITV. That would have killed it. So much more freedom to do what they want over at Netflix.

amazon made a great move here, but I don’t like their service. netflix works extremely well and I never have buffering issues with it unlike prime. Also netflix supports 4K for me to enjoy. Now I will have to subscribe to prime
