Jody Kidd, Chris Evans and Rowan Atkinson could be interesting.

don't know where to put this, but I am going to say that I think Chris Moyles will be a new main presenter for TG.
33/1 on Coral. They are doing a "bet £5 get £20" deal on new signups so if you are right a fiver could get you £660.

ever seen a remake of a classic film they never work.
If they try to copy TG with the three wise men in it then it will be a farce and i think they know that.
I also think they will want to attract a different audience than the current "mob".
I will give it a go when it does come out but not if its some Lefty BBC tick the boxes exercise.

Chris Moyles will never present Top Gear. I highly doubt he has even been considered. Why? Nothing he has ever done on TV has been successful. Why would the BBC want to put him on their biggest program? He also hasn't worked for the BBC for years and I doubt has much to do with them these days.

I was also a listener and "fan" of his radio show. I don't recall him ever once mentioning having any sort of interest in cars.
He had a passing interest. He own(ed) an RS4.

James May has invited those who have threatened Sue Perkins on Twitter to do the world a favour and kill themselves.
Yes, all those non existent people who threatened to kill her. Seriously, no screenshots in the papers, no police investigation, just a load of media hot air, which actually had nothing to do with Top Gear, but actually her performance the previous night on Thronecast.

And an S4 before that.



What does he do these days? Sure enough £ to retire on but 40-60 years of just passing the time no thanks.

Probably been asked but if it has ive missed it.

Has bbc got anything to do with top gear magazine and website?

He's still writing articles for that. Had a look the other day and they had loads of 4x4 sport cars in the snow. I wonder if that was one of the episodes as features on the show often turned up on the magazine.

Good man, May is channelling Bill Hicks:

I misheard the tail pipe instruction. I thought he was saying 'Sockatail Pie' and that was some kind of American Dessert dish like a Cobbler.

I like her a lot, but this is largely down to her being considerably easier on the eye than, say, William Woollard or Chris Goffey.

He's semi-retired for the moment. Seems to be on a health kick - he's lost a ton of weight.
