  9. 300 million people in 100 countries disagree with you. TG is (or was until this series) the single biggest income earner for BBC Worldwide. Around £100 million per season in foreign sales alone, not counting the merchandise, magazine, DVDs, etc. Cheers David
  10. Top Gear is NOT paid for with the licence fee. It's paid for by BBC Worldwide which gets all its income from foreign sales, makes a profit and pays a dividend to the BBC. In fact until the last series (bet it won't happen with this series) around 10% of its income was from Top Gear. That's more than it makes from Doctor Who. Cheers David

  16. Has there been any indication whether the LHCS will have the same/similar body shells as the stock being built for the Caledonian Sleeper? IIRC it was Rail Magazine that informally referred to these as the Mark 5. Cheers David
