'Stig loses his helmet' - judge reveals reason behind privacy case decison

[desprateseagull]

BBC News - Judge reveals reason for Top Gears Stig ruling

'Mr Justice Morgan added that while Mr Collins, 35, did owe a duty of confidentiality to the BBC, the identity of Top Gear's mystery driver was so generally accessible that it could no longer be described as confidential.'

'Mr Collins, a former stunt double, has now joined rival show Fifth Gear, where he will be seen without his trademark helmet..'

- i wonder which of the 3 top gear presenters that might be..?

I'm more concerned that we won't be seeing so much of Tiff and Jason on Fifth Gear, boooooooo, not to mention the spiffing Vicky Butler-Henderson .............

Tiff Needell, best current motoring presenter around. No airs and graces, and just tells you about the car without all that clowning around.

Love the fact fifth gear are now advertising the fact they have Top Gear's cast off's.

Starting to prefer 5th Gear to Top Gear.

perhaps time to offer a job full time, to that fit Sabine driver lady..

Top Gear has now become a parody of itself with "comedy" stunts instead of cars.

Witness the hilarity of driving thru the deep south in the USA in pink cadillac with mottos such as "gay rights for all" and also the side splitting bike ride thru vietnam - with the penalty being riding on a stars and stripes motorcycle that plays born in the usa constantly.

If you want to watch someone describe the ride comfort of the new Nissan Micra watch Fifth Gear. If you want to watch some non-pc, petrol head based entertainment, watch Top Gear.

I think the viewing figures show which one is more popular.
