BBC Top Gear Thread

[Coyote]

The BBC have confirmed earlier today that Chris Evans will not be replaced by a new presenter.

This brings me to the conclusion :

The BBC are reading this thread :)

Shame they didn't listen before filming started - loads of people said he was wrong for the job ...

Yeah, they overpopulated the show... it would always be tough getting the chemistry right with 6 presenters and a stig

LOL told you so  ;D

dizzy :laugh:

That's a heck of a lot of pressure on LeB to host and perform. Given he's worked with scripts all his life I think he will struggle. He may be able to bounce off Rory a bit but no one else is going to manage it. can you imagine sabine and Harris joking around on stage? and everyone hates Jordan so he won't be much good.

2 stars in a rallycross car was utter garbage, the only thing reasonably watchable was the "first car/best car" with the celebs. Simply because it's quite interesting to hear about a person's motoring history (it is a car show after all)

The senior controllers at Auntie Beeb must be s%#}}^[g themselves! I can just hear the W1 meetings. "Tony's not happy on this one, we should have populated the show with a more viewer popular baseline agenda. We need to appeal to the LGBT and Disadvantaged Youth  Leadership and the ethnically challenged consumer base to encompass a more proletariat viewer experience with sub script in  Русский язык (Russian)".

Really? Perhaps all the Beeb needs to do is a deal with Amazon.

As long as they keep trying to emulate Top Gear as it was, it'll always be a poor imitation. New ideas required.

You can't buy the type of chemistry Clarkson, May + Hammond have because they built that up over years and actually being friends outside of work. It's real, actual banter (yes, some scripted, but a lot of it is off-the-cuff).

Ant+Dec? :D

Clarkson's Top Gear wasn't really about cars (thank god) it was more about three middle aged men having a mid life crisis, its where over worked, over stressed men could lever the telly remote from there beloved wifes and relax for some man banter for an hour on a sunday night, it was the new hour at the pub on a sunday evening before the working week, it featured cars becouse thats what we men like to think we know what were on about, haha, the three wise men really need to make a come back, iam not bothered what subject they base a programme on, its the banter i miss,
New top is ok, Evans just doesnt cut it for me, iam just English for his enthusism, he really has a persona for radio only

Gosh, I haven't heard that type of language since I worked at the city council.
