    Why would the BBC Director be "envious" of the popularity of someone who makes his organisation approximately five million quid a week? You didn't think this through, did you?

    Correct. A move to the US - Disney has been mentioned for the four of them with a "bottomless pit" of wonga available with no restrictions on. I reckon that the BBC will sell the Top Gear name at some point in the future to them as well. Wilman is the brains behind most of what went on in the show.


    Jodie Kidd and Guy Martin are the hot tips to take over Top Gear for now. Good Luck, they will need it.

    The BBC will end up disappearing up its own backside with people like Danny Cohen as head of TV.

    Jezza has said that DC was curbing many of the items they wanted to do. What will be interesting now is how what has happened affects future uk viewing figures and overseas sales. Badly on both i reckon.


    NB. The BBC have said the 3 final programmes held back will be shown in the summer.

    The BBC will survive losing Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear, I reckon.

    I've got no doubt at all you have no idea who Danny Cohen is or what his job entails, do you worship Clarkson like God or something and accept everything he says? Scary stuff

    This Tickler probably has a tattoo Alan Partridge style of him somewhere, no doubt at all, probably drinks his tea out of washing machine percolators too

    I think Tickles might be the East Yorkshire rep for the Jeremy Clarkson fan club.

    I know who and what Danny Cohen is and does.

    The Top Gear issues are sad for all who like the show. BBC will do well to keep it going.

    The fact all 4 of the main men have gone says it all.

    I'm looking forward to watching it with the new presenters as the ones mentioned, Glenister, Guy Martin and Jodie Kidd are a decent bunch, the other 3 had past their sell by date as well as the show

    I wouldn't say so, the fun of top gear was watching the three of them gallivanting off around the world acting like buffoons. 5th gear is a far better watch from a informative perspective but it's just not as fun.

    There's something charming about seeing a nailed old Lancia being run into the ground across Botswana, being bodged back together when it falls apart...

    That lot you mentioned just couldn't come up with anything comparable. It'd be a bore fest.

    Jodie Kidd's been doing the Classic Car Show with that irritating ****er that looks like Dracula and she was terrible.

    I haven't seen Jodie Kidd in anything so can't comment, the other two (Glenister and Martin) should be decent to watch but who knows

    If they are the new 3 that get the gig then the show will do well to make a 2nd series. The BBC are also pulling in the budget for the show so the content will be interesting.

    Why not use Nigel Farage and the 2 Ed's (Milliband and Balls) as they are out of work after last week. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Heard that Clarkson & co. are thinking over offers from ITV and Netflix over a new show which could be called "House of Cars".

    twt as always.
