Woot Woot..I'm glad. I found his narration style awkward and stilted to listen to. James May is much funnier and interesting.
Steve Coogan/Alan Partridge would be a good replacement..anybody but Piers 'namedropper' Morgan please.

James May
As much as I think he's a knob, I quite like working with Jeremy

There's a bloody big difference between not renewing someone's contract and sacking them.

Alhamdullillah
I'm glad he's gone. Lets not forget Clarkson called the producer a "lazy Irish ****" before punching him.

They did give him quite a few chances. Either he thought he was too big to fail and so could carry on being himself or impulse got the better of him (happens to all of us).

Alan Partridge is a great idea but would turn a lot of people off. Maybe they need to do guest hosts, starting with him.
If the lazy Irish **** had done his job properly, he wouldn't have needed to be punched.

More likely to be talking to the likes of Netflix I reckon.

Jeremy Clarkson exits Top Gear: Who's in pole position to replace him?
Woot Woot..I'm glad. I found his narration style awkward and stilted to listen to. James May is much funnier and interesting.
Steve Coogan/Alan Partridge would be a good replacement..anybody but Piers 'namedropper' Morgan please.

They'll have to go back to the drawing board. In my view there is no well know or obvious choices really but there is probably someone undiscovered out there who could make Top Gear work. Will the BBC fumble it and end up killing the show as they did old Top Gear?

Re: Clarkson..love him or hate him???
I could be wrong but I think the BBC requires a certain ratio of skirts to trousers in presenting lineups now so it's likely whoever they draft in will not be one of 'the boys'. Also it looks like James May and Andy Wilman aren't that keen, Richard Hammond hasn't said much one way or the other. Coming to Netflix soon: Final Gear/Last Gear/Last of the Summer Wheels.
