Top Gear's new hosts

[Hyperion]

Purely for Guy Martin alone, I won't bother. What a shame

Do like Glenister but sounds riciculous

Guy Martin is a great choice. Well done the Beep. And a woman is also a good idea. Out of the ashes...

It's only rumours at the mo.

Thumbs up for Guy Martin.

Guy Martin may be a non starter if he faces prosecution and is then banned for this .....

GUY Martin is facing a police probe after admitting to driving a sports car at 180mph through a 40mph zone.
The TT racer admitted to breaking the speed limit through a small village on the Isle of Man in his review of the new Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon.
The 33-year-old wrote in the Sunday Times Driving section: ‘I saw 180mph down Sulby Straight, one of the fastest sections on the TT course, and the car wasn’t even in top gear.’

Martin added: ‘About 17 miles into the lap there’s a corner called Ballacrye, a fast left out of the village of Ballaugh.
‘On this Sunday morning I just got around it with the accelerator flat to the floor. There’s a jump after the corner, and the car was off the ground, all the lights flashing on the dash telling me everything was dropping off. It fishtailed when it landed,’

The review caught the attention of police who have confirmed they will be looking into the incident, which saw Guy Martin allegedly hit over four times the speed limit.

Isle of Man Inspector Derek Flint, said: ‘We are making some inquiries.’

I know it's not the right view to have but something just seems false and forced a bout women talking about cars. Sorry but I feel the same about football. Just cringeworthy.

Come on Nibble, you're better than that.

 

[Bladders]

Hope it's also the end of putting a boring star in a boring car section

and May advises in the article that “Me and Hammond with a surrogate Jeremy is a non-starter, it just wouldn’t work. That would be lame, or ‘awks’ as young people say.”

Personally i I can't see it happening

It was lame with Jeremy.

James May should do it without Hammond. At least May is reasonably entertaining

What a shocking waste of £4.6 million THAT would be.

IMO, like.

On a subjective level, agree 100%. You could find someone young and fresh, and entertaining to do it for a fraction of the cost.

From the BBC's commercial point of view though, they'll be weighing up whether the outlay increases their chances of holding onto the tens of millions the show brings in from overseas buyers.

Exactly, hence the 'IMO' bit.

I've got a hunch about what the BBC *might* do, but whichever direction, they are going to be open to abuse from people.

As for the other three, I'm not sure they are bigger than the brand itself. Different era, but you look at the guys before them, and what they are doing with their lives, and it's not a patch on TG (status-wise).

Apparently they are going to do guest hosts each week. Best option is probably to ignore the BBC version and watch Top Gear 2.0 which is blatantly what Clarkson Capt Slow and the Hamster will end up producing on Sky or Netflix.

He's not even a real hamster.

 

[Geestar]

Sounds dull

 

[AmexRuislip]

I know he is a bike nut, but how about Carl Fogarty as a presenter?

 

[Wozza]

I would have thought a more likely destination for a new Clarkson, Hammond and May show would be Netflix or Amazon Prime. Neither need advertising revenue and are likely to see an increase in subscribers from the Top Gear fan base if the show ended up on either service.
