Sadly the program will never be the same without Clarkson. I take it Hammond and May will not bother with it as Evans is a bit of a dick in my view, doesn't he own a car that cost around £8m some Ferrari ?

He owns a lots of cars worth £1m+

Yes I do.
He kinda humbled a bit after his heady days and I warmed to him a bit after listening to his audio book, but last few years he's gradually ascending back up his own anus.
I know he does a lot for charidy but it's all based around his own interests, and I find when he interviews people he's not really listening to what they have to say.

To be honest, I used to.
When he did TFI Friday, Big Breakfast etc. I really didn't like him. Seemed a bit of a "big I am"
Now however I think his Breakfast radio Show is pretty good, and he's certainly grown up. His Autobiography is a pretty good read too.
Much better on the radio than on TV.
Why do you think he will be good?
My 11 year old son keeps watching repeats of Top Gear on the Dave channel, I must admit I stop what I'm doing and join him, we both sit there laughing our heads off.
Clarkson, Hammond and May not only know their cars but they are brilliant at taking the piss out of each other and they can also laugh at themselves. Yes some of the stuff they got up to is silly, but that's what I find entertaining.
Is Evans going to have other presenters helping?

Not long considering his favourite subject is himself, himself and nothing but himself.
Very good points.
I know what you mean about his interviews, it does seem to be all about him.

I can imagine as he trousered over £50m when he sold Ginger Productions

Don't wait for me!
He may make it half a decent program as he knows how to present and keep you interested. I'll give it a miss though, it's about motorised transport.

Hooray! Another reason to avoid a programme about cars. That Top Gear segment on TFI was utter shite

All of the above really. Met him briefly a few years ago when he was good enough to come and start the 12 hour lawn mower race at Pulborough and chatted with him and his charming new wife. Also spoke with him in Godalming High street he was parked on yellow lines and laughed when I shouted "you can't park there mate".He does an awful lot for Chase, the childrens hospice just outside Guildford namely all the christmas trees grown at his estate get sold and all the profit goes to them and he owns the Mulberry pub south of Chiddingfold where 10% of your restaurant bill automatically goes to the hospice also.He is much taller than you might imagine,gotta be 6 foot plus. He's alright.
"I promise I will do everything I possibly can to respect what has gone on before and take the show forward,"
Yeh, right. He said the same thing when he took over from Wogan. How many years has he been doing the breakfast show? It's the same utter cr*p day after day. The same 'spots', the same boring drivel day after day. Is he capable of saying anything which isn't complete and utter inane drivel. If there is a 'celebrity' who is more obnoxious and less talented than Evans, I've yet to hear of them. Very disapointed. Won't even bother giving the new show a look. At least May and Hammond have decided niot to risk their reputations despite the reported millions on offer.

I used to go to the Crown and Anchor in Shoreham High St. years ago.
Really nice boozer until he started to turn up on Sunday nights with his entourage - it felt a bit sullied after that.

Really? I can't stand his radio show, last thing I want to hear first thing in the morning. I get a right shock if I've accidentally left radio 2 on.

Used to avoid TG like the Plague before and after this extraordinarily exciting revelation and development, nothing at all will change. In fact, both Clarkson and Evans pretty much in the Morgan envelope.
