\n\tTop Gear<\/a> <\/em>won’t be seen for the \u201cforeseeable future\u201d on TV, the BBC<\/a> has stated. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe present has been off air since host Andrew Flintoff<\/a> picked up \u201clife-alteringly significant\u201d accidents following a crash, which led to a \u00a39M ($11.2M) payout for the cricketing legend and a well being and security evaluation.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the previous couple of minutes, the BBC has put out an announcement saying it has \u201cdecided to rest the UK show for the foreseeable future,\u201d citing \u201cexceptional circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company stated it stays dedicated to Flintoff and his co-hosts Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris, \u201cand we\u2019re excited about new projects being developed with each of them,\u201d with \u201cmore to say in the near future on this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe know resting the show will be disappointing news for fans, but it is the right thing to do,\u201d stated the assertion. \u201cAll other Top Gear activity remains unaffected by this hiatus including international formats, digital, magazines and licensing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFlintoff has solely just lately began being seen in public for the reason that crash \u2013 with noticeable accidents on his face \u2013 which befell final yr at Surrey\u2019s Dunsfold Park Aerodrome and led to filming being instantly halted. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe BBC had apologized to Flintoff in March over his accidents, across the time a security evaluation concluded. The security evaluation won’t be printed however BBC Studios<\/a> has stated \u201cimportant learnings\u201d will likely be taken from it and there have been quite a lot of suggestions. Plenty of producers have give up the present for the reason that crash.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe information confirms what many had already thought could be the case however is an enormous blow for one of many BBC\u2019s most established codecs. Top Gear <\/em>had been experiencing one thing of a renaissance beneath Flintoff, Harris and McGuinness following a difficult couple of seasons when scores had dipped.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
