Nobody really knows. But it is true that cream should get nowhere near carbonara (sorry slidebite).

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32431956 James May will not return without Clarkson. So that's that then.

You can feel the backpedalling.

Then they don't look like hypocrites and they get record viewership for a Top Gear season that really isn't that far off the usual schedule anyway as people are chomping at the bit for the return of Clarkson. I still think he acted like a giant diaper baby, but I can at least respect the fact that he didn't use his personal situation as an excuse. It's possible that information coming to light is what's softening the BBC on him a bit.

He's not stupid and knows that almost everyone would hate it if they added in a fake Jezza. He doesn't need the money, so he can stay away from sucha stupid idea. For that matter, any replacements are going to be compared so hard to the trio, that they shouldn't even try to emulate them in any way at all.

Chris harris has been doing bits with fifth gear lately, and although there is chemistry between him and tiff, the show itself is just so loving dry.

I'm sure the producers will try to take it in a new direction whenever they pick the next trio, but will end up likely trying to go back to the same formula that made the trio of Clarkson, May, and Hammond work so well once the viewership drops low enough.

This is obviously the BBC pulling a "New Coke" and getting rid of Clarkson so everyone would complain and cry. Then they can reap in the profits when they bring him back and have a spectacular comeback season. Because crazy high ratings weren't good enough... they want ludicrous ratings

Wilman is very good. Top gear was good because it discovered James May (top gear was poo poo before May came on). As this thread has shown, people would watch May doing anything. Clarkson is old, tired and stressed so he should retire, and no one would watch Hammond doing anything - he was just a gag on the show being scared of bugs and most food, and useless/boring.

Some particular favorite moments of mine from the series are when the presenters roll in to a car challenge and Hammond shows up with something entirely unexpected (which is normally followed by hilarious ridicule).

Confused as it's normally May or Clarkson that makes bad choices, breaks down first or a lot, or is ridiculed? Hammond is just filler-vanilla between the other two. E: Oh, I can think of one. the van challenge when Hammond got the tiny van because it was "mid engined", and he tried a 'Scandinavian flick'. That was good.

The first "gaffe" listed on that article is hilarious without any sort of context which they don't give.quote:July 2008: Drink-driving Leaving out the whole "While driving to the north pole in the arctic where the only souls within 100 miles are the camera crew filming him drinking that gin and tonic."

They literally address it in episode too, they're technically sailing in international waters so drink driving rules don't apply.
