A lot of the comments here are saying that Top Gear is an entertainment show, and should not be taken seriously. Yet that seems to avoid the main point of the article which is that it's on BBC, yet not adhering to BBC standards of reporting. The article claims they are not held to these standards because they make entertaining TV that brings in big bucks for BBC. Should Top Gear attempt to follow BBC standards, or should they get away with it because they have a great tv show?

- raganwald 15y agoThat could be my fault: I editorialized the title to emphasize Top Gear faking an electric car failure, whereas the original title, Top Gear's electric car shows pour petrol over the BBC's standards, places more emphasis on the question of why BBC is or isn’t maintaining its standards. Mea Culpa, thanks for raising the point.
