Top Gear

So just my thoughts here.

Lets say Top Gear had to replace Jeremy Clarkson who would you say would make a good replacement.

I have thought about it a few times this week. I came up with Jake Humphrey!!

What do you think, I think he could get on well with May not sure about little legs though.

Ditch Clarkson and Hammond, and have May joined by Rowan Atkinson and Stephen Fry!





It's Evolution Baby!

I like both of them but that would become to much "beard scrating" and not enough go.

I like the idea of having Rowan atkinson on TG.





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I don't think Rowan would be doing much beard-scratching... he's a bona-fide petrolhead!

I agree he is, loves his cars and racing, but he is stereotyped and you will find it difficult to have someone bigger than the show. If you see what im saying.

Kevin McLoed (however it's spelt) from Grand Designs.

Replace Hammond with Martin Brundle (but he still has to do F1 as well - no good leaving Leggard on his own!).

Alternative would be to put 3 actual good actors in place so the staged and scripted 'stunts' are actually executed with an ounce of believability.

I would get Jamaroqui on to replce him, though for me Top gear wouldn't be the same without clarkson. Perhaps Quinton Wilson for the old skool effect!

Jake Humphrey

Jake is a good shout, he made the transition fron childrens TV to sports presenting look pretty easy the BBC get lucky like that sometimes. Lets not overkill him though,i think he does well on the F1 show and hope he stays there for a while.

Replacement for clarkson, i would think his old mate steve coogan would work.

I like the Jake idea.

Although the show needs a fit woman, the new one on Sky would be good.

Hammond has lost his appeal, maybe put him in the next car to be destroyed, see if the little bugger survives another

Bring back Wooly Willy (William Woollard) -he can't be any naffer than The Jeremy Clarkson Show - pretending he can drive fast and tricking the dimmer among us into believeing they are taking part in real challenges.

While I'm on my hobby-horse, I bored stiff hearing about Astons, Jags and Ford derived cars that someone's been bunged a wad to promote or cars that the three presenters can afford to buy (and do) but none of us viewers can...

Here he is (for the youngsters)

Why not get three fit buurrds in and call it Topless Gear!!
Driving challenges could include parallel parking without having to catch a taxi to the curb afterwards, and seeing who can resist the urge longest to check their hair and lippy in the mirror whilst waiting at the lights!! :

hammond needs to go, he's a nice enough chump but his character is too dumb. Clarkson can be annoying, and does talk crap at times, but his 'character' is more entertaining.

May is good enough that he doesnt appear to be acting.

So id say Clarkson, May and a different guest petrolhead every week. Including Tiff!

Well thats moved on a bit from May, Atkinson and Fry

It will be intresting to see who does replace him if he did go though.

I believe he probably is the show, and it will die a slow death if he did.

I agree Bob, he is not ready yet, still a little short on the quick reply one liners and lacks a little bit of knowledge.

But like a good wine or port he will be ready in a couple of years.

If Steven Fry replaced Clarkson they'd have to rename it "Superlative Equipment"

Although I can see Mr Fry in yet another Aston growling "Powerrrr!"
