That will be 100 PH tv licence paying viewers surely ? I demand, as a PH minority to get my own show, just like all the other minorities.

More seriously Chris Evans would be a good choice. Not that the show needs saving, it actually needs a refresh. Perhaps this the BBC way of doing it without having to pay over the odds If Vladamir Putin is the first star in a reasonably priced Lada on the next post JC show then I told you so.

Called it on page 5 of this mammoth thread. Now just to get Vladamir in that Lada ....

to me !

He was the only choice they have and after a few moans for the first few episodes he will be better than JC who had got very staid.

They need to change the format completely though so it really is a fresh start.

Same here. Dull, dull woman.

I predict future Top Gear threads will be littered with people complaining about the program, the hosts, how it isnt as good as it used to be while others chip in saying "if you don't like it don't watch it"

So basically no change!

Just when you thought the TG threads were getting a little dull....

Probably the only option for the BBC, the program will change significantly towards a more PC format and will appeal to the easily offended with it's inoffensive content. Will it be successful? Who knows but the old USP won't be there- might be a better motoring program if not entertainment program.

Why didn't quote the actual person who said it? Was it Sir Lenny Henry ?

[Phil Dicky]

Personally don't mind Chris Evans and to be fair to him most things he does he does well, so lets give him the benefit of the doubt and see what happens.

I'd expect the other two(?) to be relatively unknown - who'd heard of May or Hammond before they started on TG ?

Because Pistonheads. Someone would have jumped on that minor fact if I had not pointed it out.

Let's call it a pre-emptive defence.


My point stands. How can one condemn a programme that has not even be made yet?

Prejudice, that's how.

Chris Evans has signed a 3 year deal apparently

Oh heck, I never liked him. Ah well. Tata Top Gear, it was nice knowing you.

yep , this is not going to work out well
BBC as usual ignoring public opinion and clutching at straws in a desperate attempt at keeping Top gear alive

, Chris Evans has absolutely no journalistic talent , nether has he the wit or sarcasm of Clarkson , combined with his toothy irritating self importance ,

in essence a tt of the highest magnitude , should stick to being a has been radio presenter and painting his cars Ginger !!

I for one will not be watching this prat , signals the end of Top Gear

I'm going to call either Rebecca Jackson or Jodie Kidd as the girl. I mean, it's a given as we are talking of the beeb after all...

Plato has to be in with a shout??

And Jay Kay as the third.

That would be my ideal team. Each credible in the motoring world in their own right already.
