Jason Dawe is unfortunately remembered as 'that bloke who only lasted one series on Top Gear and was booted off before it became the giant that it did', much like Blackburn being the first team to win the Premier League and forgotten about ever since.

Blackburn weren't the first team to win the Premier League.

Sorry yes, meant to say 'one of the first' but the theory still stands.

Is that a bad photoshop comp or is Harris really that tiny? Even Jordan is taller than him.

I think his Cuban heels and syrup add a bit of height.

This is going to work, I'm no Eddie fan but its a positive change to a tired format, its going to be a winner. The three boys on Prime are going to struggle

Of course they are, only a tiny proportion of viewers even know what a net flick is let alone buy one.

What are they doing thats fresh and making it a winner? If its going to be so brilliant then why didn't someone get these people together before?

I might be wrong but I think it will be dull or st......possibly both.

That Vice article is bang on the money, and the Evans fans seem to have gone rather quiet.

[otolith]

The bloke who wrote the Vice article is clearly a massive bh, mind.

[limpsfield]

By the same Vice author, on Clarkson.

Modern journos, they hate everything.

Woman doesn't like new Top Gear, even though there will be a woman in it, because the presenters are rich and she doesn't like cars. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/...
