Get 3 different people for an hour long challenge every episode. Think Worlds Most Dangerous Roads but not just driving on a road. For the unaired episodes just blur Jeremies face out.

Going off this list of potentials, I'd be interested in seeing an all-girls Top Gear with Vicki Butler-Henderson, Jodie Kidd, and Suzi Perry. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-32064440 It'd certainly help shed the reputation the show has in some circles about being about a trio of hairy knuckle-dragging apes just doing burnouts while shouting at pedestrians. And all three of those women have as much or more motorsports cred than the old blokes have. It would almost definitely be a much drier, less silly show though.

Suzi Perry is funny, did a fair amount of faffing about on The Gadget Show and didn't mind getting her hands dirty when they did their challenges, so she seems like a good fit if they're going to stick close to the current format. Kidd is a horrible presenter who's sole qualification is "likes cars" and Butler-Henderson was the dullest part of a very dull show over on Fifth Gear, so they'd both be awful choices. If I had to pick three names mentioned in that article, I'd take Perry, Evans and Martin. Their personalities seem like they could gel, Evans has plenty of experience leading a show and having those three would mean we could keep classic Top Gear arguments like "main presenter hates motorbikes but the other two rave about them".

Blitter posted:Uh, until 2012 Jeremy and Andy Wilman were the main investors in Bedder 6 which iirc owned the franchise. That would have made Oison quite literally an underling up to that point. Wilman (the executive producer) has been a long time friend of Jeremys, and co-investor. If you really want to rank the importance of individuals within pretty much any corporate structure, you look at a) pay scale b) how replaceable they are. He was the highest paid, and I think probably the least replaceable given the length of his involvement with the show. Pretty clear that the bbc think jc is very replacable to the point they'll gamble 50 million pounds on it. The producers run the show. You say until 2012, that was 3 years ago compared to 2 weeks at most ago. I just tried to read the last 10 pages, how the gently caress do these dd nerds exist outside their rooms without literally killing themselves. If anyone was so antagonistic in real life, they'd be spending a lot more time in a&e than Oison did. It's the same level as peta fanatics going saying poo poo like "so do you just cage these birds up for your own entertainment or is there a real reason you are doing it?"

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:Clarkson is a witty, insightful trained automotive journalist who has a way with words and timing that have led to a 25-year career presenting - and having a very strong hand in formatting - incredibly popular car shows. And even non-car shows. His documentaries "For Valor: The Victoria cross" and "The greatest raid of all" are NOT to be missed. Well formatted, not too short, and manages to paint a respectful picture of the troops, feeling proud, genuine and enthusiastic without feeling jingoistic or fox-news at all. Full of real interviews and even a good CGI-re-enactment between clarksons great narration. And without spoiling anything the former video finished with a great personal connection that shot the quality into the stratosphere. (Perhaps he did go into how bad-loving-rear end the latter was by telling the story in the harbor where it happened while screaming over the wind becuase his boat is charging at the historical target as he re-tells the story. You might worry it would feel like a Bill O'Reily joint, but take my word for it. Hopefully this isnt  to post a small clip of this part.)e: cant get i to post a link that skips you to the right time, skip to 4:20  and buy the video legally please:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBj9K03ygU0 MattD1zzl3 fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Mar 29, 2015 |

I assumed she was some aspiring daytime-tv host or a winner of a competition to be on TV. She's bloody awful. There something about VBH that just seems a bit unclean. Like she's been sleeping in the back of a car for three days.

BBC should just put a South Park style warning message before every show saying that Top Gear contains terrible opinions by terrible people and should not be watched by anyone. I'll then keep watching it.

I've used his one on TPS sensors when trying to explain them to friends with newer cars. He's rather bland, but that whole show is publictv.txt and I like having something like that around. Sure, they could use some music that doesn't sound three decades old and their segment transitions are hilariously bad, but they care about what they're doing.

Looks like Andy Wilman has quit TG as well:Andy Wilman posted:Well, at least we left ‘em wanting more. And that alone, when you think about it, is quite an achievement for a show that started 13 years ago. I know none of us wanted it to end this way, but for a moment I’d like us to look back and think about just what an incredible thing you all had a hand in creating. When Jane Root gave us the green light in 2002, the brief was to reinvigorate a car show and get an audience of three million. What you all ended up making was one of the most iconic programmes in TV history, a show about cars that went global, won countless awards, was devoured by non car fans and ended up in the Guinness Book of Records.
