Replace Clarkson with?
Discussion
Nobody. It's pointless.
The last 3 shows, apart from the studio parts are already made. With Clarkson.
Clarkson IS Top Gear. If he goes (and pound to a penny May and Hammond go with him) it doesn't matter what the BBC do with the format, it will go from six million, prime viewing and a big money spinner to being a niche programme watched by a few hundred thousand viewers. A lot on PH moan about TG not being about cars enough; if it was it would be like old TG of Fifth Gear with no mass-market appeal.
All this stuff I see on FB and the media about Guy Martin, Chris Evans and so forth is crap. The show is finished without him - in a way when he sold the rights to the BBC he pulled a blinder: he sold them something for millions that is worthless without him. Sharp.

Am I the only one who doesn't see the hype about Chris Evans? I know his a massive petrolhead and has a great car collection, but I think Top Gear would be awful with him hosting.
No, I don't like him, but we may be in a minority - the only criteria people seem to be seeing as important here is mass appeal and viewer numbers.Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
