I'll give it a watch if/when it comes back. No need to completely dismiss it before it has aired.
I wouldn't discount a new car show. But this is just a lame attempt by the Beeb to breathe life into a dead cash cow.




It's a bit like watching Hell's Kitchen (yes, yes, I Know) without Ramsey being in it.

What happened the first time two women qualified for the Indy 500?

If you don't know already there is no need to look it up because I am certain you can guess!

Jodie Kidd is probably a better driver than May, Hammond and Clarkson! But then so is Tanner Foust, TG USA is still utter shite!

Niki Lauda, Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell are better drivers than the lot of them. As great as they are, I certainly wouldn't be too excited about watching a show presented by the three of them.

Any show presented by Nigel Mansell would be shite! It's his commentary that killed the Birmingham Super Prix LOL

Top Gear was starting to get a bit tired as a format anyway, so it's kind of for the best for everyone.

Hopefully the three amigos will go away and come up with a refreshed version (not constrained by PC BBC bureaucrats), and the new Top Gear could still turn out to be worth the watch.

Everyone's a winner!

I think James Hunt might make a good presenter of Top Gear, but I suspect the chances of him returning to work for the BBC to be rather less than the chances of Jeremy Clarkson.

If they can get picked up by Netflix, I think they could make a good go of it with a new show.

James Hunt would have been a good one, yes.

My wife LOVED it when I watched TG. Why? because it was FUNNY!

No matter how low I was (and I got pretty low with one job I had - almost had a nervous breakdown, but that's another story), I could watch the guys and laugh - and she loved to hear me laugh.

The world doesn't NEED another motoring show. The world NEEDS laughter - and Clarkson, May and Hammond provided it in spades!

God forbid....Top Gear might be going to talk about motor cars instead of one man's ego! Might even start watching it.....
