I like all series' of Top Gear, but the old episodes like in season 4,5,6 were all really good too even though they had less of the fooling around.

They'll never go back to that, but oh well.

They also said they were looking at doing 14 episodes every year, so if that statement stays true, it looks like the winter series (16) will have 8 episodes.
It's because they are all getting very very old and Jeremy and James and Richard are like the 3 most important media personalities in all of England and all of them have multiple TV shows, radio shows, presenting gigs, etc. they do all the time and it's like they don't have time for Top Gear anymore.

Also, the BBC slashed the budget across the board for all their series by 10% this year and 3% each following year.
