Television Top Gear

I don't watch the show, but it must be pretty unique in that it has a large fanbase of people who don't have any interest in the subject matter?
This is why im finding it quite odd with the suggestions for new presenters here, its an entertainment show first then adventure and cars, some of the suggestions here would have it going back to old top gear by the looks of it.
 
It'd be alright if they could get Roy Keane as the Stig.

Be some great gambling in that, how many weeks before Chiles is ran down in a reasonably priced car.
I think your onto something here.

Roy Keane, Schmikes and Solskjaer! The perfect replacements.

Solskjaer is the new Hammond. He's approachable and has common sense.

Schmeichel is the new James May. He's sophisticated (mostly by being Danish), intelligent and probably boring.

Roy Keane is the new Jeremy Clarkson. He's loud, obnoxious, opinionated, and controversial.

And they are all hate each other a little bit with a healthy dosage of respect.
 
Top Gear isn't really a British show. It's an international show which is merely filmed in Britain. Whoever takes on Clarkson would need a higher worldwide profile than Sky and Channel 4 if they want their money's worth. Someone like Netflix or even a US network would make sense.
 
Hopefully Geocities will make a bid.

Ah man, now I'm actually disappointed this won't happen.
 
Recently released from his ITV contract, Adrian Chiles is undoubtedly looking for a new, high-profile TV job.

A hugely talented sports broadcaster, he is better known for football punditry than his knowledge of cars - but he once spent a day shadowing motor racing boss Eddie Jordan for a BBC documentary.

His everyman style and droll sense of humour would be a good fit for Top Gear - but BBC bosses will note that Chiles was once forced to apologise by ITV after implying Polish football supporters were all builders.

Given Top Gear's track record, though, that might be considered a qualification.
 
Yea, binned by ITV after being almost universally hated by the viewers, what could you do next to almost guarantee you'll never work on TV again? Try and fill the shoes of a man who had millions sign a petition to keep him even after he punched a producer.
 
Chiles: "Coming up next on the show; Jane drives around Bristol in a clown car to raise awareness on the dropping population of beavers in the Yorkshire Dales, and Ricky finds out how many Bugatti Veyrons he can fit in his mouth. But first it's time to put a star in our reasonably priced car. Since our ratings have tanked and the international community are all watching that new Top Gear, the BBC are only letting us have guests from their approved "cool yoof" list. So, please welcome to the stage Mr Nick Grimshaw."
Grimshaw: "I once sat on a horse and shouted out the menu from Pizza Express. It was so funny. I'm probably, like, the funniest person anyone has ever met.
Chiles: "That sounds wonderful. Unfortunately we haven't got a lap time for you this week because the Hybrid unicycle that the BBC insists we use nowadays had run out of turnip juice."
Grimshaw: "Hybrid? More like "no"brid. Because it didn't work. So funny......"
Chiles: "That sounds wonderful."

It works better if you imagine Chiles' voice never changing from his monotone mumble and Nick Grimshaw looking and acting an arsehole like he always does.

Well, when I say 'works better'...

People are insane.
 
It reminds me of when Rio was abused by Chelsea fans because his brother got abused by John Terry.
 
I'd love to hear them rationalise their thought process.

"yea he got got punched and then the guy who punched him reported what had happened, the, the, the cnut!"



Similar to a player who was racially abused, never apologised to, but he is then the cnut who got someone banned. Expect some T-Shirts to be printed soon.
 
I didn't know Richard Porter was the script editor, I've always enjoyed his Evo columns.

The BBC may own the rights to the name, but it seems they're going to have to start from scratch if they're keeping it going - everyone involved is off.

He has his own motoring website called Sniff Petrol. Posts some funny f1 articles

:lol: In fairness, the only other person Clarkson has punched is Piers Morgan. If this fella is anything like Piers...
