Jodie Kidd and Eddy Izzard. It'll make the budget cheaper as they can share clothes and makeup.

Best Irvine quote ever was when the interviewer asked him if he'd ever had any role models, to which he replied "no, but I've had plenty of models"

Looks like Top Gear has been snatched up by Amazon:

Yep, Prime Gear. I bet the price was eye-watering.

Most of the stuff Amazon touches turns to gold, but I'm not sure I can be bothered with Top Gear puerility any more.

Really? We were discussing this in the office and the consensus was Amazon was getting its arse handed to it by Netflix.
You're right though, I've grown out of those three.

I'm not sure. Amazon prime content is pretty good. Netflix content is 1) a bit random and 2) very difficult to find out if you don't already have a subscription, which irritates me. However, Netflix infrastructure is hard to beat. They've invested a lot into it. Having said that, I never have issues streaming at 1080p with Amazon either.

99% of my TV viewing is now through Amazon, even though initially I subscribed for the free next day delivery. I think I'm going to get a Netflix sub at some point also, though, because I believe that it's technically better and for the occasional series that isn't on Amazon. Also, it's not a big outlay.

Another thing going for Netflix is the Virgin TiVo integration, although I haven't tried it.

Fifth gear is pretty good - a better mix of silliness and actual car reviewing. Tiffany Dell is always good.

A lot of Netflix original stuff is going out at 2k or 3k, it looks epic, if you've got the telly for it.

Yeah, I'd be interested to see how that looks on a decent 4K TV. Trick is finding a decent 4K TV. :)
