Ken Livingstone, Diane Abbot and Arthur Smith [I only picked him cos he can't drive so will be well suited to the new format]

CRAIGR - 25/3/15 at 07:05 PM

Ronald McDonald should host it as his car parks are generally full of viewers.

true! Maybe he could be the next stig and no one will know if he gets replaced!


jossey - 25/3/15 at 07:41 PM

What about snoop dog


fesycresy - 25/3/15 at 07:50 PM

Guy Martin

Keith Lemon

Damon Hill

Should be worth a watch


Canada EH! - 25/3/15 at 07:56 PM

Clarkson even made the noon news in Toronto and we get year old versions of Top Gear on BBC World


Ugg10 - 25/3/15 at 08:08 PM

Guy Martin
Charlie Boorman
Anthony Davidson


Staple balls - 25/3/15 at 08:15 PM

I think the best option would be the stig, all alone, on an empty set.

I don't think they'll ever make it into anything but 90s TG in future. I think love it or hate it, the dynamic of the bunch of fools will be impossible to replicate, and alas, it's not like it'll ever be a revenue stream like it was if it's a proper and serious factual motoring show.


owelly - 25/3/15 at 08:33 PM

I don't think Guy Martin would make a good presenter at all! I've met him a few times and he seems to dislike the whole idea of cameras and folks telling him what to do. He may even end up twatting a producer.......
I think a new set of bods with completely different dynamics to the old three would be the best way forward.
A celeb racer. Martin Brundle?
A techy bloke. Chris Barrie?
A car bloke. Fuzz Townshend?

On that I wouldn't mind an ed china shaped option, as long as the dwarven div who rides his coat tails isn't anywhere near.


CNHSS1 - 25/3/15 at 09:03 PM

Chris Harris would be a good shout. Funny, actually a good car reviewer (be a change!) and he can drive fast and in the way that also makes good tv.


CNHSS1 - 25/3/15 at 09:04 PM

Oh and if anyone ever suggests Mike Brewer, i will thump them, producer or not


JC - 25/3/15 at 09:20 PM

Chris Harris is a good shout - remember James May came with no TV experience, and neither did Hamster, unless you count 'Kits and Cruising' on Men and Motors....


Texan - 25/3/15 at 09:22 PM

I think they need a loud mouthed Yank so they can have someone to pick on and to add a little spice or counter point.

I'm volunteering.

I can be a Wanker if that's what it takes to make the show work.

BTW what's a Wanker?

Somebody who enjoys joi videos...


Texan - 25/3/15 at 09:40 PM

This Joi?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joi_%28singer%29

I can pretend to like just about anything to play a part.

I can be like KISS and channel my inner Jeremy on stage but be Clark Kent off camera.

It's be fun and I hear the pay is good.


coozer - 25/3/15 at 10:07 PM

No no, Google joi video and that will point ya in the direction.....


stevebubs - 25/3/15 at 10:47 PM

What are the odds the BBC Worldwide justs sell 'Top Gear' to another broadcaster and everything continues as normal?

[Edited on 25/3/15 by stevebubs]


morcus - 26/3/15 at 12:06 AM

I wouldn't bet on them selling the name for the same reason they didn't let it go before, the magazine.

My dad reckons Sandi Togsvig, Clair Balding and Sue Perkins but that's pretty much his answer to everything.

I'd say the show is dead without a major format change, but I like the Idea of Chris Harris and Ed China but I think they'd need to be teamed with someone less serious so I'd go for Vic Reeves, he's noted for car based shenanigans and he's already replaced Hammond on Braniac.

Well you're going to have to do better than that, because I get a very wide variety of different people named Joi making videos when I do that. There isn't any theme or thread I can discern.


atm92484 - 26/3/15 at 01:43 AM

I vote:
Adam Ferrara
Tanner Foust
Rutledge Wood

With them out of the way they can hire three good presenters for TGUS (where ever will they find those.....?)


Irony - 26/3/15 at 12:11 PM

Not sure you can replace them with anyone who has half a brain to be honest. Some of the stuff that the Top Gear presenters have done is just plain stupid and for entertainment value only. Hammond tried to cross the channel in a camper van/narrowboat for goodness sakes. Any person with a mild interest in engineering/ a brain would instantly tell you that some things are just daft.
