I imagine it’ll sound like somebody who knows nothing about lorrys or the transport industry trying to fill a time slot in his radio program, and not doing it very well.

I like the comment from Lisa Clark who was executive producer for Top Gear - “I’d like to wish production all the very best with the show” - which I think translates as “adiós suckers…I’m jumping ship before this becomes car crash TV”.
As for Robroy - I’m sure we can write into the BBC and request such an episode although no doubt with a little bit of Photoshop, your fantasy might become a reality a little quicker.

The bloke is a total ■■■■ end of.What were the beeb thinking when they gave him the Top Gear job, if a genie gave me 3 wishes one of them would be to punch Chris Evans.
Even Mike Brewer turned it down, allegedly
the new top gear is not going to work,one of the presenters on evans team is apparently david coulthard[think its spelt right]the ex racing driver,others are saying he is quite boring,when are the bbc going to realise it is not top gear without Clarkson, may, and Hammond,love em or hate them they made the show,i cant imagine evans will do things like the hovervan,demolishing houses with various machines,building cars and issuing challenges about who can beat who to certain places using various modes of transport,evans and his team will just go blah, blah, blah, about cars that the average person cannot afford
I think Top Gear evolved into the show was it was by accident. It started off as a normal car show then they did a few challenges are noticed how popular they were and they presenters became better friends and the chemistry became more and more apparent. Personally I like Chris Evans but he’s not stupid enough to try and make the show a carbon copy to how it used to be, it will be more car oriented at first with some challenges, I’m looking forward to it, I’ll definitely be watching Clarkson and co on Amazon as well.

Really?? I like him, even though he’s a bit of a cockney chancer
love wheeler dealers.
be nice if he answered when you contact him,on his website it says contact mike,so I did to ask if he is ever going to try rebuilding certain modern classics,no answer at all ,fair enough he probably gets too many people asking him and cant reply to all but why put contact details if he don’t answer
Personally I think Top Gear was done, same old thing every week and the trio giggling at their own jokes. It had turned into a show about them loosely based abound a few high performance cars. Almost naff all about classic cars, motorsport, motorbikes,
Chris Evans is a genuine motor enthusiast, and he used to filling big shoes, I remember all those people predicting the demise of the Radio 2 Breakfast show when he took over from Wogan, didn’t quite happen that way.
The line up seems to be a good mixture of an Enthusiast, a Racing driver and a Motoring Journalist, which hopefully should be better than three tired old motoring journalists.
I’m interested to see what he comes up with, I hope its far different to Clarkson’s Top Gear, it may not get the big audience, but hopefully it will be something for the enthusiasts and petrol heads.
I’m a bit sick of the ginger prick to be honest. But I may watch one of the new series out of curiosity. You never know…It may be good! 
It was just as well that Top Gear went pop when it did,otherwise it was morphing into Last of the summer wine.Its a dynamic show and needs young blood .
Testing.

Right about ginger prick might as well of had Chris moyles fronting it both get on my ■■■■
Ginger ■■■■■■■■ has become too over exposed. He knows how to make some bunce though.
Sabine Schmitz’s voice does my ■■■■ in, permanently high-pitched shouting. Stick her in white overalls, a helmet and call her The Frig or something.
Coulthard has no doubt got some contract with Auntie Beeb, so they’ve got to give him something to do while he’s on the payroll, now they’ve given C4 the F1.

Chris Moyles is another example of the way the BBC deal with a unique and winning formula that DOES work.
Love him or hate him Moyles’s morning show was unique, completely different to any other, and they got shot of him, then replaced him with a run of the mill same old/same old mediocre DJ (Grimshaw 
)
Same situation and methods apparently with Top Gear.
Why the ginger 4 eyed prick couldn’t quit top gear as well i don’t know, He is annoying to watch and listen too just what were the bbc thinking ffs

we will just have to wait and see,i guess we doubters [inc myself]cannot really comment until the first episode,might be proved wrong
Unless it’s something so amazing the first episode of Top Gear will get panned, because many people will watch it just to pick holes in it.
If it’s like Clarksons Top Gear then they’ll complain that it wasn’t as good as Clarkson did, and if it’s different with new ideas they’ll complain that it’s not like the previous version. And the media will write it off as they love to have a go at another media organisation, So initially it will have problems until it finds it’s own audience.
Back in the early days of Top gear it was hosted by Angela Rippon among others and was deadly serious in that it highlighted new legislation etc and also ran tests on cars that ‘normal’ folk could afford to purchase and didn’t test things that could out perform the space shuttle, be useless on UK roads and only affordable to rock stars and the like. Maybe it will return to something along those lines, though with maybe some lighthearted stuff mixed in as well? Clarkson and Co were victims of themselves really as they took the programme to a new level but then had to find something more OTT each episode to eclipse the previous one and in the end it just became ridiculous and bore no resemblance to the factual motoring programme that was the original concept.
We will have to wait and see, Clarkson, May and Hammond only made a few shows each year anyway so a simpler format may allow more?
Pete.
I well remember Angela from Top Gear testing Austin Allegros and B.L. rubbish.I took quite a fancy to her then .Mind you this was 30 years ago.
