Last we heard it was about £500k an episode.
At the amount they have per ep now, they'll be playing car football with Ferraris.

I think a lot of that will be going to the talent. The BBC don't pay that much compared to commercial tv or the US.
They are probably going to get £500k each, per episode now.

It cannot be UK only, maybe it means that the show will only be on Amazon here in the UK but they could sell the rights to the normal tv stations around the world where Amazon video is not available, this does leave the question about the other countries where Amazon video is available?
Interesting indeed.

Oh i don't know about that...
Wilman told the Radio Times the team would begin working on the new series as soon as they return from their summer holidays.
He said they agreed a deal with Amazon because "they'll give us the freedom to make the programme we want...there's a budget to produce programmes of the quality we want and this is the future".
Wilman added the format of the new show would contain "themes people will be familiar with".
"I can't tell you how good it feels to get the chance to produce something from scratch," he said. "We're all really excited. No one telling us what we can and can't do, just us hopefully producing great programmes. It feels really liberating."

Trailer made me chuckle
Did much of the filming/editing/producing team leave with the trio? I know they were the main attraction but the way top gear was created was always amazing. Interested to see if they can recreate it

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Still think House of Cars is the best name
When did Noel Edmonds join the team?
Bet they have the name some where in the trailer.
Yup. TV/film work is almost entirely freelance/contractual, so a lot of team, including the producer who basically defined Top Gear (Andy Wilman), signed with Amazon.

Check your pipes. I stream 4K beautifully from Amazon.

These 90 seconds will be better than anything the new Top Gear puts out.

They should call it "The probably not available in your country anymore show".
Yeah, I'm salty. Fucking Amazon.
