I can't see the end of Top Gear being such a sad thing. You know Andy will say "Okay, this is your last chance... what have you always been wanting to do but haven't dared ask/thought it was a bad idea/couldn't afford it?" They've all got decent solo careers now, and you know they'll still meet up occasionally. Jeremy can do more silly panel shows like QI, and Hammond can keep blowing things up, and James can do exhaustive documentaries on Lite Brite and have a good time.

Eeeek!! All those spiders!

I'm not surprised that Richard doesn't like them, based on his reaction to the insects in Bolivia. I don't like spiders either, so he has my utmost sympathy. I don't mind tiny spiders, but the bigger ones really freak me out!
