To be fair. The show could do with a fresh start.
So if Clarkson does go, the other two should too.

I've seen a lot of other cloned shows fail because they couldn't get the chemistry right. TGs staying power has a lot to do with their ability to play off of each other. Some of the bits of late have gotten quite out of touch though.

The other two have pretty much said that they like working with clarkson and can't (won't?) do the tv show without him. It sounds like all 3 might leave the BBC and possibly go to Channel 4 to create the same sort of show with a different name. I wonder if Sky would stick their money in this one...

Maybe instead of top gear they could call it 5th gear... oh...
To be fair if they get any older it will be like watching an episode of last of the summer wine.

I'll admit that I haven't been paying attention to this but what's the latest hubbub or is there a settlement of sorts? Last I heard the TG guys were doing a live event and didn't use the TG name... so is it really over?

Yes, well unless they get other people to fill the roles. I did hear that Chris Evans was on the short list

Chris Evans has been announced as the lead for the new top gear programme. He's on a three year contract. If the nail wasn't already in the top gear coffin , it is now as far as Im concerned.

I think he could be quite good

Generally, I quite like Chris Evans as a TV and Radio presenter. It all depends upon the other presenters they place alongside him, and their rapport.

I was sure that I was thinking of the wrong Chris Evans....and I was indeed wrong. Don't know this guy.

I personally hate him... probably just as much as I hate "The Twatface" Clarkson, will be interesting who his fellow presenters are going to be because one is going to be a woman... the only persons I can think he could pick would be Suzi Perry or one of the F1 ladies, maybe even Amy Macdonald...

I heard a rumour was Rachel Riley. Don't know what her knowledge of cars is. But she has done some presenting.

Chris Evans is undoubtedly a twat, however he is a fairly funny twat and is a proper petrol head with knowledge and some taste. I would like to see Jodie Kidd partner him as well as another woman - maybe Dawn French to cater to the clueless saggytit type viewer as a counter to the other 2
I do think Evans is one the the few who could actually evolve it similar to the early Clarkson period

Well. From that vid, I'd say he certainly has the energy and enthusiasm to at least give it a good try.
