Top Gear

Now Clarkson is allowed off the naughty step the BBC should bring him, May and Hammond back!

Yes, I'm pleased that Chris Evans won't be back.

Matt LeBlanc comes across as an actor reading scripted lines, but he can ride a motor bike, so not all bad. The rest of the team seem pretty mediocre to me, just wish Sabine was given the chance to show the boys how to drive. She's fast, check out her Nurburgring videos on Utube.

Sabine taking the transit van round the Nurburgring was an all time classic........

I would like to see a lot more of her......

Clarkson and co were a hard act to follow, unfortunatly Chris Evans didn't have the spark to carry it off, where does it go now?

I only saw a few of the prgrammes, but it seemed to me that they were spread a bit thin. Too many presenters that I've never heard of and not having time to get known.

I'd try it with Matt LeBlanc, Sabine and one / max 2 others. Maybe Eddie Jordan, to play the 'sensible' role?

Apparently they are not replacing him , reported in the news today , personally I hope top gear on Amazon does really well looking forward to seeing the old gang 

In the newspaper headlines today, apparently Evans is to be investigated by the police for something he was alleged to have done many years ago. ----So his leaving the programme may have other reasons than he was a dreadful presenter.

We will have to just wait and see.

It seems to be a particular BBC failing to try and keep things going with new stars or presenters. It rarely works. Just look at New Tricks, it gradually went down hill as one star after another was replaced.

Chris Evans is brilliant at live presenting TFI Friday type shows but that's not what is/was needed for Top Gear.

Keeping to the previous format was IMHO a mistake, that belongs to Clarkson et al.

To be honest, I have no issue with LeBlanc and Sabine is certainly easy on the eye and can drive but I thought the two new chaps were really rather good and should be given a chance to develop their own style.

I  have already bought a Firestick ready for the "Grand Tour"

Read in paper this morning BBC are considering James Martin for loud mouths replacement ,I thought he is a chef  but yesterday BBC said no replacement
