- What innovation are we talking about in this case?

- They are suing, it doesn't mean they have succeeded. You can't start blaming libel law in the UK quite yet.

- I don't see any other shows like Top Gear on the air.

- They've got enough of a case to spend lawyer time on it, and they're confident enough to run a press release about it. If the test for libelous speech was tougher, then they would have done neither.
