That isn't really what he said though, is it? Stop strawmanning.

He had the "recently warned" flag next to his name before that post, so I assume so.

He was also banned for a week initially. He was never afraid to post something narrow-minded and offensive.

What did he say then, Scarecrow?

If there's a wider context to it then fair enough.

He said some bad things, got told off, then kept saying them. That's all we really need to know. I think we should leave it there now though. I'm sure the mods dreading the thought of deleting another batch of posts.
Critique, Brekkie and Mr Kite gave kudos

Cheers Larry.

This is why sets/seats/desks need a rostrum... Poor camera op's knees!

I know those chairs are quite low, but surely other tv shows where presenters sit fairly low, the camera operators aren't like that are they? What about shows like This Morning, they are usually sat on fairly low sofas but whenever we see camera guys they are stood up.

Yeah, I presume the budget couldn't stretch to getting some adjustable angled viewfinder? That's how they would normally do it surely?

Seem to be filmed on Thursdays, 10 days before broadcast.

Yes, Evans said that for a few weeks he wouldn't be doing Thursdays for his radio show, didn't say why, but that's enough circumstantial evidence I think !

He also said it explicitely on his show last week (Wednesday I think?). He was saying how they will be recording the next show on the Thursday before the first had even gone out so couldn't tweak it.

Going to watch this on the iPlayer a bit later. Considering the general reaction to it, I'm not optimistic but I'm too curious not to give it a go.

Worth noting internationally Extra Gear is airing alongside Top Gear (well, in Australia on BBC First at least), which explains the 23 minute running time. Probably more a BBC Worldwide thing as some kind of compensation for the lost series.
