I have to say if Sabine flashed her breasts and exposed herself to me I would not make a complaint...if only :)

Good! Useless egotistical prick ruined the show. Trying to be Clarkson was his biggest downfall.

Made my day when I heard he'd quit :grin: couldn't believe it when they used reliant robins in the first show....yawn...
Matt le-blanc is pointless mumbling humourless numpty as well.

I see where your coming from (pardon the pun) but I bet she's not that good naked.

Never a fan of his in any shape or form, he represents the worst type of sycophantic, attention seeker whose been foisted upon we the innocent public by the pseudo-king makers at the corporation.

It never really crossed my mind but one of our guys just suggested that Brian Johnson might make a good Top Gear presenter ?? :)

Whatever the merits of Brian Johnson, a big rethink is required at the BBC if another series is to be made of Top Gear.
In its present format, the same as the JC, RH and JM era, it doesn't work. The presenters are wrong, and everyone expects it to be like before and it never will be.

Evans has thankfully resigned, Matt Le Blanc is OK ,but sounds like he is reading from a tele prompter every time he speaks, Sabine is too one dimensional (excellent driver, but not a TV presenter by any means) and Chris Harris is trying too hard.

Star in a reasonably priced car is boring along with any reference to Stig. Cut out the stupidity, JC can't be beaten for that, give us more reviews without the fancy camera work and think about the specials.
Give us interesting guests with some kind of motoring connection and it could work. As it is, its a lost cause IMHO.

Couldn't agree more, JC et al did the baffoon stuff to death the only way forward is to go technical after all we are an innovative nation when it comes to automobiles

Top Gear will never work without the three stooges, Clarkson could be an irritating buffoon yes, and I was never that keen on Hammond but the show worked well with them and was entertaining, and that's what it's all about.
If you want more tech stuff then watch a documentary.
If the BBC want to have a motoring entertainment show short of bringing back the previous crew, they have to change it completely including the name.

I don't see why May and Hammond could not return, all we'd need then is a big non-PC idiot with attitude .... or how about a secret guest presenter each week like they do on "Have I got news for you"? - Clarkson did that once.

How about Rowan Atkinson doing one week Could be quite droll. Knows his cars. I think it would be entertaining

James Martin? Good presenter, could do "best campervan to cook an omelette in, on track" haha
