The entire cast of Blackadder Goes Forth...

Except that Baldrick's gone all green and lefty, but a good slap should sort that out...smile

Having read his car book and the Ben Collins book, I'll go with Stig 2.
He did a bit on Fifth Gear and was completely dull.

Some utterly ridiculous names being bandied about on this thread. How is Guy Martin a presenter or even a writer? You do realise that Clarkson et al are all actual journalists? They actually have to sit down and write the reviews for the cars they are reviewing on the show.

Pretty pointless discussion.

Nobody's going to dare challenge the right-on correctness that's been foisted on modern society by busybody lefty liberals and lapped up by far too many dullards, many of whom are within these walls.

So there is nobody to replace Clarkson.

Irreverence is dead and the world is dull, dull, dull. My god, it's dull. Dull.

Very unhealthy state of affairs.

Just seen this. Typical Telegraph.

I don't think his replacement should not be a woman. I think his replacement needs to the right person regardless of their sex.

Yeah but the floor standers at the studio recording will feel uncomfortable, look at their shoes and mumble something when asked a question, then think they are in with a chance as a female lady spoke to them.

Why is she making comments about old Top Gear when she clearly isn't old enough to remember it?

What is surprising is that it's in the Telegraph. I'd expect to see that sort of stuff in the Guardian.

apologies of its been said before, I haven't checked 18 previous pages.
to me they need to replace all three, re launch the show, and focus a bit more where possible on the technical bits.
or invite JC back but only allow him a non speaking role smile

Another point on this - 5th Gear is closer to the format she suggests, with VBH on the team - their demographic is considerably more of a sausage fest than TG, at 23% female versus 40% for TG.

Thought the quote from a female ex-fan of Top Gear who liked it before Clarkson joined was a bit odd. He's been on Top Gear since 1988!
