I'd like to see Chris Harris take over. He can jibber jabber as much as Clarkson and actually can drive a car.
Even when at Performance Cars the joke was he couldn't bloody drive the things and was more suited to a funny photoshoot of him trying to fit into a Suzuki Cappuccino.
If they put Chris in they could call it Top Gear On Cars, which would be a novel spin considering.
Or Alan Partridge. Now Alan Partridge would be a brilliant replacement. He met Jackie Stewart once.
Yip, and all 100 PH car geeks can tune in each week to fall asleep while watching it. Great idea.Even when at Performance Cars the joke was he couldn't bloody drive the things and was more suited to a funny photoshoot of him trying to fit into a Suzuki Cappuccino.

They'd be doing the studio recording for the show tomorrow. No studio recording, no show!
Ahh I see. I though those bits were pre recorded.So does that mean people were in the audience who witnessed this
The fracas was done behind closed doors seemingly.

Clarkson is such a tool, they should just sack him and bring a new team in.
In my opinion it wouldn't work well without him , it'd be like Bon Jovi without Jon, U2 without Bono or Queen without Freddie it would be such a loss that it would never be as good as it once was, to many people Clarkson is what makes Top Gear. But even they got replaced by Noel Edmonds and his jumpers. Things move on
Now check this out, William Woollard introducing Jeremy in a very old show. Check out his opening line.
"And now to less controversial matters ..." Oh William, in hindsight brilliant ironic joke. I missed it at the time.

He couldn't resist a punt at the Marina driver could he, even then. And he's still wearing the same pair of jeans as he did in the last episode on Sunday.
Meanwhile Tiff drives the Labatts RS500 with lots of oppo through Paddock hill later in the video whilst JC stuck to doing an auto jumble.
Nuff said.
Radio Times (of all sources) reporting that Jezza took a swing at a producer last week. It was only reported to the Beeb yesterday.

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.

So why was the producer not suspended?
As neither of us was there to witness the event, we really wouldn't know. But an unprovoked attack would be a reasonable scenario under which to only suspend one person.MarshPhantom said:

He's done that before. I remember reading his Sunday Times column years ago where a runner went to pick up a Lamborghini Diablo and subsequently stacked it en route to a shoot. JC happily decked him for being a pillock. I hope this latest incident was deserved as before and we can forget about it and move on. http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-03-10/top-gear...

I'm not sure where in the country you are, but I always find a bit of alternative theatre at the (salford) LOWRY or the (Liverpool) Everyman, always good for a laugh. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
