top gear

Not to mention May and Hammond have already stated they won’t do the show without clarkson!

They have so much banter with each other and great comradeship! Something you don’t come accross much anymore!

I think Toby, Switchlogic and Contraflow. :grimacing:

Clarkson just got to big for his boots ,he has commited a criminal offence and should be looking at jail time.There is no reason why a new show with a new bunch of talented presenters should be a carbon copy of the old one.Time to move on.

Ive just watched sunday brunch,and it was mentioned that olly murs fancys the job.

Without all 3 of them it will disappear. It may still be some sort of car show but a shadow of its former self

Marvellous. Every feature includes an Audi TT. :laughing:

That’s called Truckgear :grimacing:

Personally its time for them to go and have a break for a re-format like 5th gear did with Tiff etc.

The Hamster has his own little shows on the go as does May so they have an income coming in as does the Buffoon… just shows how much a prat Cloggson is trying to work and claim benefits :unamused:

I’ve never been a big fan of the show only seeing it in parts, I don’t like cars so much that I would watch an hour long show on cars I could never afford being driven by people I don’t particularly like.
The whole incident shows you what can happen though when these tv types start to believe the hype about themselves. I can’t think of many jobs these days where you wouldn’t get sacked for hitting a colleague regardless of the provocation. Clarkson obviously thought he was bomb proof, he now knows he’s not. What did he think would happen?
As for the show, it was on before them & it will be on again without them, possibly with other viewers that will now watch it because clarkson isn’t there, he’s not everyone’s cup of tea after all.

that would without doubt ruin it

Clarkson had to go , he was on final written warnings already, you Can’t hit another member of staff (God knows we all want to sometimes)
Let’s face it he went of on a rant because this producer didn’t have a steak ready for him at the end of the day’s filming.
Maybe he should have jummed into his £100k Merc or whatever freebie Bentley etc he had that week and spend some of the millions he’s made from the BBC and buy his own dinner !
Many TM buy you your dinner after your shift !
For my money Guy MARTIN would be my choice the guy is very charismatic,BUT the problem lies in are they replacing 1 or is it 3?
For all hamster & Capt slow always said they would leave together but both them haven’t said a word either way !!
So
Guy Martin ,
Vicki B Henderson (if she would leave 5th gear)
Or the German lady Serbeen (bad spelling) Smit
and one I hadn thought of papers mentioned and would be very good at it
John Bishop !!!

  • Vicki …lush

will admit Vicki don’t have a bad chassis herself

Its the BBC so if they go for an all new line up all the diversity,gender and non discriminatory b/s boxes will have to be ticked so expect to see something like Lenny Henry,Jo Brand,Graham Norton and possibly a guest slot for Clare Balding,she seems to be in everything else

Clarkson, may, and Hammond injected a lot of humour into the show as well as showing cars,can you really see the people you mentioned doing the humour part,if they took over it would just be another boring car show showing cars nobody could afford without a lottery win

Don’t forget they have worked together for over 10 years in this
show, Clarkson and May are both originally journalists , May and Hammond where both relatively unknown at the start.

So getting “stars” or “z-list” celebs hosting its is not a good idea IMHO

As said before, VBH, or Sabine Schmitz are good, with track records of tv and motor show presenting,

Also Tom Ford. used to be on 5th gear.
Tim Shaw a presenter and petrol head, again both not well known to the general public.

Definitely get humour with John Bishop , think Guy Martin also , Vikki or Serbeen , would be there as car specialist also very pleasing on the eye!
But yes I agree it’s not a car show any more, it’s a show for three mates to have a laugh,
Not sure what the BBC will do but I do think the where right to let him go unfortunately

Remember its only a spin off from the original show from 1977 with Angela Rippon and Tom Coyne …

Guy Martin won’t do it, he’s a talented bloke but doesn’t like contracts and all the crap. Quinten Wilson is a much better motoring journalist and broadcaster than the three that were on there. He’s and Vicki Butler Henderson with a new young member to make up the team would be good.

Perry McCarthy is the only realistic alternative.In which case we’ll soon see if Top Gear stitched up Clarkson just to get rid of the programme or not.Meanwhile picture the opening scene.No one is sure why the guvnor has gone but all we know is he’s been replaced by the Stig. :smiling_imp: :smiley:

Suzi Perry.

Crap presenter but very pleasing on the eye.

Rachel Riley. Don’t know what her automotive knowledge is like, but I could knock her into the back end of next week.

Jezza will be back if you ask me.
