Television Top Gear
- Thread starter Ramshock
- Start date
It would be awkward when he was driving around a residential area and saw a "20's Plenty" sign.
Edit: whoops, thinking of a different footballer. My point still stands.
Why? Not arguing, I don't really have much of an opinion on him, I'm genuinely curious where the hate comes from?
I might start watching it again now, the other three had got stale and boring in my opinion. I got tired of their "hilarious" antics and stopped watching a long time ago.
Big headed, not funny, crass, conceited, no discernible talent, acts like the smallest time billy big bollocks on the planet.
General cuntishness.
Pretty much described Richard Hammond there.
Hammond is likeable though, and he's not arrogant at all.
I disagree, he's an odious unfunny cretin.
My general point is that most of these presenters are marmite to viewers. I think Clarkson has a huge head, and is a massive cnut, I won't read him in the papers either, he's such a monumental bell end.
Chris Evans can't fail to be an improvement on those two twats.
With any luck we'll have both shows. Evan's and co doing 'top gear' and clarkson, Hammond and May doing erm...'Top Gear' on another station. Both shows refreshed.
Hopefully, Evans is a well known petrol head so I'd probably tune in to see how it goes. James May I'd like to see more of, I really liked his wine trip with Oz Clarke.
The Oz Clarke / James May 'up the arse / shits' sat nav clip (on you tube) still has me in tears lol

The perfect Clarkson replacement then?
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were aware of how obvious a set up that was...
It'll certainly be different with an all new line up but I can't imagine it'll be anywhere near as good. I look forward to seeing what Clarkson, Hammond & May come up with next.
Pretty simple for me and quite a few other people I know.
Not Clarkson, Hammond and May, not watching it.

I think this could be good if they get the other presenters right. I don't get the Chris Evans hate and he genuinely loves cars enough to do something decent.
Might be a refreshing change at last.

Apart from seeing him on some TFI shite some night there lately and hearing about him from time to time I can't say I know a bit about Evans but going by your description of him there he seems to tick a lot of the boxes Clarkson would so it's looking like the BBC are playing it safe with this choice.
Fight the power! #Rebelheart
Maybe it will return to more facts based and less scripted crap that was getting very stale.
Without Clarkson, Hammond and May it isn't Top Gear.
are you talking about Evans or Clarkson?
One presenter confirmed to be a female. Supposed to be announcing them tomorrow.
While I still liked Clarkson and May, the show needed something like this. It desperately needed a breath of fresh air. Everything had become stale and the only way they could attempt to make it interesting was by making it more lame.
It'll be tough for it to seem like a cheap rip off. At least they can get rid of the obvious scripting. If they'd done that before a lot of people would've probably got bored. Now they have a chance to do it different and hook people in another way that isn't annoying as feck. Whether they will or not is a different matter.

Probably won't watch. It's been declining for years anyway. They should have let it die
Suzie Perry? I can't think of many women associated with motors. Unless it's someone we've not heard of before.
Rachel Riley would be great, as I guess one of them wouldn't need to be dead into cars. Doubt she'd be able to get the time away to go on their adventures though.
Jodi Kidd is a decent driver, she was top of the star in a reasonably priced car for a while and that Quentin arse says that she's good. If the BBC are serious about a female presenter though it should go to Vicki Butler-Henderson. Clarkson loves her and admits that she's a much better driver than he could ever be. But knowing the Beeb they'll give it to Adrian Chiles.
Edit; here's the quote from Clarkson about Butler-Henderson.
Vicki Butler- Henderson ?
Ah yeah, I remember Kidd being good.
Forgot about Vicki Butler-Henderson but used to find her a bit annoying. It probably will be her.
Is that a question or a suggestion?
She did Fifth Gear on channel 5 and used to be a tester for What Car magazine.
I'm telling you, it'll be Adrian Chiles wearing a Vicki Butler-Henderson mask.
We could end up with two new decent shows here if Clarkson & Co start a new one too. Happy days!
Not sure about the presenter open auditions he announced, hope it doesn't turn into X-Factor Gear.
Is that a question or a suggestion?
.
Both
If they are going for Chris Evans, then the other 2 presenters could be Rowan Atkinson & Jay K. Then we could spend the 1st series drooling over their personal car collections.
Come to think of it, why not bring back Noel Edmunds, has he still got his GT40?

The presenters need to be men-children. I think a part of the show's worldwide appeal is about seeing a bunch of stuffy old white men acting like they're 11. Chris Evans is a good start. Rowan Atkinson would be perfect, too. But Jay K takes himself too seriously, imo.
A woman would only work if she was the kind of person who found fart jokes funny. They're a rare breed, unfortunately. I've made that mistake more than once.

Glenister and Rachel Riley would be good.
I don't mind Evans and to be fair the show had been repetitive for a long time so he can't do any worse.

Great, 2 people who know nothing about cars!
I honestly wouldnt care if Rachel Riley spent the entire show only describing cars by their colour
Needs Steve Coogan.
