Clarkson Suspended

[Mesius]

I'd go for some of that...

Was that a Jeremy Clarkson thing to say?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Guy Martin As co host!

[getagrip]

That would work

Eventually everything changes.  I really  enjoyed Top Gear, and it's blokish, politically incorrect, tongue in cheek,approach. Sadly, as series followed series it has become a poor caricature of itself, and perhaps the time has come for a new format and a new team. In a way, I am glad the rest of the team has said they'll resign at the same time. A clean sheet for someone!

Agree, unfortunately many will see their resignations as supporting Clarkson and his unacceptable behaviour 

[pierre the shy]

No doubt that Clarkson's behavior was completely wrong so goodbye to him.

I'm no petrolhead but it would be good if the new
series went back to its roots and concentrated more about
cars and less on cult of personality.

Haven't watched the show much but when I did it was to watch the antics of Clarkson, May and the Hamster.

If it's only option is to reincarnate as a straight car program they should can it and make something completely different and more interesting. Perhaps something like those Scandinavian programs where they show several hours of a log fire burning or someone's gran knitting a cardy. 

[Hertsblue]

Yes, the whole point of the show was the interaction of the three presenters and the increasingly outrageous stunts they participated in. If it becomes a straight car show it will simply be the BBC equivalent of Fifth Gear - and who the hell bothers to watch that?

You mean you want the BBC to broadcast another hour of that each week!   

As far as I have read the BBC are thinking of bringing in Chris Evans to host the show - I didn't watch it before and with him in it I most definitely will not be watching it in the future.

[Techno]

Can't say I'm particularly keen on Mr Evans either.

I almost cried when he took over from that nice Mr Wogan.....I don't think I've even listened to Radio 2 since then.

Phil - not even you are old enough to listen to radio 2.
