I wonder if Gene Hunt will review his Audi Quattro?

Still reckon that Alan Partridge would have been the best.

With Guy Martin on there they'll presumably be taking a more balanced approach to motorcycling than they have in the past.

Acutally, will The Stig be in the new Top Gear? I don't think he quit did he?

I assume you're joking, as he obviously can't quit

I quite like the line up but I'd be disappointed to see the end of For The Love of Cars which is a great show. Glenister's co-host on the show Ant Anstead is the real star but they do work well together so maybe BBC could use Ant as well in some capacity.

Hasn't Guy Martin come out to say he has no knowledge of this?

Nope, his closet is firmly shut.

Glensiter is too busy doing proper work acting in Big School.

Surely the 3 presenters from Top Gear was the program andthen reason for its success, so for me just scrap the show. Immitations are rarely as good as the original and the same with remakes of TV programs.

Guy Martin has said he doesn't know what they are talking about. Which may well be the case, who knows but I'd be very very surprised if he went for it. I'd definaty start watching again if he did even though Jodie Kidd is not as attractive as she reckons and Is extremely annoying. I know it's not the right view to have but something just seems false and forced a bout women talking about cars. Sorry but I feel the same about football. Just cringeworthy.

At last a new chapter.

A great actor, he does do Shakespeare, and period dramas too.

This although the comedy character played by Jeremy Clarkson will be a tough act to beat.

Agreed. Your views are cringeworthy.

Oh,and how do you know how attractive Jodie Kidd reckons she is; have you asked her? And what fu*k has that got to do with her presenting a TV programme? As you say.... cringeworthy.

Nibble · May 7, 2015

Vic Reeves as his normal Jim Moir would make a fine host. Bear with me.
If anyone has seen his straight presenting work he is genuinely riveting and a big petrol head. His documentary on Barry Sheene was one of my TV highlights of this year so far. And he doesn't seem to have regular stuff so he'd have the time.
Vote Vic.

He can't present it, he's been dead for 27 years.
