Prior to 2002 Top Gear was a weekly car consumer show of 30 mins long. In 2002 Clarkson revamped the show and it became a lot more popular and yes I enjoyed it with all the challenges and humour. Clarkson, May and Hammond made the iconic show but in 2015 that ended.
No matter who hosts TG it will never be the same as it was with Clarkson et at. They had the perfect chemistry and made a show about cars comical. Viewing figures are now less than half what they were.

I think now is the time TG should return to its original pre-2002 consumerist format. If people want a comical car show then make a new one from scratch with another name. There certainly is a gap for a topical motoring consumer show and that’s where TG comes in.

What do you think? Is the current TG format past its shelf life and should it go back to how it was originally?
