There were enough people tiresomely whining about how bad it was that we could have done this a long time ago, but OK, you got your wish, it's gone.

The BBC has a slot (Sunday evenings, 8pm, BBC2), and an audience (60% male, main demographic groups are "dads and lads" - fathers (age 35-54) and sons (age 7-11) - and males aged 18-35). They want some car-related entertainment. Ideally, you will pitch something with international mass appeal - you will certainly need that if your idea needs the budget Top Gear had.

Anyone pitching any formats currently languishing down near the shopping channels will be locked in Quentin Wilson's crypt after dark.

Well done, I'd say, except it wasn't.

Weekly challenges, Top Gear style but with no studio parts, just the challenges. 1, 2 or 3 guest presenters depending on the challenge.

Yeah got to throw in a celebrity element...I have an idea; call the SIARPC feature Cock of the Week and invite 'celebs' who are guilty of car faux pas on to be roasted about them before showing all the outtakes of their 'lap'.

1st up Katie Price, following week Stephen Ireland, etc etc.

HIGNFY style where each week a different petrol head celeb does the show.
May and Hammond still do the buggering about, if they dont jump ship.
