Amazon Get Clarkson & Co.

[ffutures]

Apparently the former Top Gear team are leaving en mass for Amazon and are going to make a motor show for their streaming video service. Basically Top Gear minus the Stig and probably competing with the Beeb's new Top Gear when it airs.

I don't have much of a stake in this - I've watched Top Gear often enough to write fanfic, but I don't own a car or intend to pay Amazon for a motoring show - but it'll be interesting to see what happens, and if the new show is fic-worthy.

I suspect that Chris Evans will not be entirely happy about this.

Prime Instant Video is terrible isn't it. I've had 3 trial months of it, and in that time found the grand total of 2 things I wanted to watch. The rest were all apaprently in Prime, but you click on them, and find out you actually have to pay extra.

That's just stupid - I'll steer well clear.

I've had several more months free trial offered to me, but, I can't really see the point in having it even if its free.
