Top Gear the next generation?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Hmm, Angus' (and Richard Bacon's) taste for that special coffee-related product has seen both bounce back from minor setbacks with no long-term harm to their careers but I can't imagine Jeremy appearing in a school-based soap any time soon and he's already done the talk show thing.
Fact is, with his royalties from Dave (Gold 2 as was, not his buddy Mr Cameron), his book sales and his regular Torygraph & Sun columns, he'll not be on the streets any time soon and could have a very nice life indeed. Even if he gave up working.

Meanwhile, the famous clip from a very much earlier series of Top Gear - the one involving the upside downing of the talking Maestro, throughout which Nicolette McKenzie carried on talking - is entertainment enough and far funnier - IMHO - than the sight of JC appearing to administer relief to a dummy in the back of a pretend ambulance.

I vaguely remember "Buzzcocks" having guest hosts for a while and then a regular one (Rhod Gilbert?). I gather they have axed the series now. So there is a chance that TG will go the same way :D

I don't know whether Rhod Gilbert has any interest in cars, but he could probably do the job..




























Sorry, I know what you meant, TM, but for a moment I imagined Rhod doing a Jeremy. ;)

BBC announces Chris Evans is new TG presenter...

Does this mean he`s leaving the breakfast show on Radio 2..... Lets hope so.

I hate to say this as the thread will drag on even longer: the last TG with Clarkson is to be shown at the end of the month!
