James May worked because of how he bounced off Clarkson and Hammond. The best thing to do would be to make Top Gear Mk3 that is distinct from the two other versions of it. Trying to make lightning strike twice isn't going to work so they should do some thing else that is more likley to work. Or they can try and replace Clarkson, Hammond and May and end up with s slightly better version of Top Gear US.

Foxtrot_13 posted:God no. James May worked because of how he bounced off Clarkson and Hammond. I didnt mean a literal 1:1 equivalent, just someone who's genuinely knowledgeable and not super abrasive. Robert Llewellyn would be good too, his youtube show with electric cars was entertaining and between Scrapheap Challenge and An ___ is born the build a thing to do X challenges would probably result in much cooler vehicles, although maybe not as hilarious. Any attempt to just recreate the clarkson-hammond-may team and pick up right where they left off will be awful. They need to do some new stuff or maybe look back at the types of challenges the old team had mostly abandoned in favour of repetitive semi-scripted jingoistic pantomime.

Really, you could drop them into an automotive show and they'd probably just get on with it. I'd love to watch a motorbiking show with Danny John-Jules. It's already been done before by Ewan MacGregor but maybe a show with him biking around the world or something?

InitialDave posted:Same for Chris Barrie, too. He tends to end up playing characters who are kind of knobs, but he's a pretty cool guy. In fact, having the Red Dwarf guys do Top Gear as a group would work rather well... His transport documentary series feels like it was written by the same people who write Clarkson's documentaries. He does that style pretty well.

You can die from caffeine poisoning, but it takes dedication. IIRC , it was a thing in gulag camps in Siberia to take your entire tea ration, boil it into a small cup of black liquid, and drink that for the buzz. Presumably, a few cups of that could push you into heart failure.

Sorry, that's bollocks, if only 36L of tea could kill you, they'd be replacing staff on every building site in the country twice a day.

As a last, cobbled-together, episode of TG that was pretty good. I liked the visual joke that accompanied James and Richard in the otherwise empty studio.

Yeah that was a nice touch. Great episode, dickspokes, good 4x4 romping, caravan carnage, ricers and all. Was quite sad when it ended in silence in an empty echo-y studio.

What a great episode to close out the final season of the best show on tv. The ending was sad though. Hopefully top gear 3.0: netflix edition is as good or better.
