Top Gear — the wildly popular British TV series staring automotive commentator Jeremy Clarkson — is facing a major problem that could prevent filming of the upcoming season, according to the U.K’s Telegraph. The controversy centers around concerns over noise and pollution caused by Clarkson & Co at the Dunsfold Aerodrome where the show is currently filmed. Dunsfold is slated to be redeveloped, meaning Top Gear is not only facing an eviction, but also must find a new location to shoot its episodes. Unfortunately, things aren’t looking good for their location of choice, the Enstone airfield. Locals have already protested the use of the airfield by Top Gear, leaving producers to look for alternatives. So far, none have been found. To make matters worse, filming is slated to begin in May, and preparations of any airfield — if one is found — would take two months. Update: Top Gear has issued an official statement on the issue. Apparently, reports of their demise were greatly exaggerated.
