    It wasn't aimed at you personally PL, I just couldn't resist referring to how Jack Worthing got his name in The Importance of Being Earnest.

    This was the headline story on the BBC earlier. I mean who really gives a tiny rats arse who presents Top Gear. I stupidly thought that families disappearing, balcony's collapsing and killing people and the EU migrant crisis might have been more important.

    I'd pretty much stopped watching recently, apart from the foreign specials.

    Clarkson Hammond and May were Top Gear. I'll watch the episode in a few weeks but that will be it. I just hope those 3 join ITV and produce a new show and wipe the new BBC Top Gear off the face of the earth.

    How many players do we have to lose before you switch teams?

    Instant dismissal is a little silly.

    Do remember that, in certain people's opinions it has been **** for years. Imo, the specials have been rather good at times, but I've often found myself thinking please just get rid of the tall bloke. :)

    It's been crap since it started to devour itself in a flood of narcissistic cranium-led anal expeditions, of the ego-centric kind. Not good.

    And it has been in that condition for quite a few years now. It's actually middle-aged men doing teenage humour. It isn't funny when teenagers do it, and it certainly isn't funny when middle-aged men do it. Time for a return to Top Gear's core remit - to test cars and motorbikes properly and entertainingly.

    Not that I care anymore but that won't happen because the viewers would just disappear completely.

    And maybe the ones who left after it changed from a car and bike show will return.? :)

    Basically, just wipe it off your list of viewing and wait for the three to return in whatever activity they choose.

    That's a pretty soppy attitude Tom. If you go through life throwing your arms up in the air each time something changes not to your liking, without even giving the change any chance, you're going to come across a few obstacles!

    By the way. I predict you watch the first episode with the new team and refuse to like any of it.

    Yea it must of been crap...I mean the BBC sold this programme to over a 100 countries and made millions of pounds every year :rolleyes:.
    I am with Tom on this one Jez, May and Hamnond were top gear and hopefully will sign to another channel.
    It will be interesting to see the viewing figures between the new top gear and Jez, May and Hamonds new show when they go to air, I can honestly say I won't watch the new top gear as I can't stand Chris Evans.
    Met him once...all I can say is what a nob he is.

    When did you meet him?

    He certainly was a knob, but still one of the most creative TV minds.

    By the way, I was a knob in my 20's.

    T,F,I,T,G,?

    Im ok with Chris Evans, love him or hate him he knows how to carry a show.
    He will be himself not play/acting character like the old crew did and Im all for a bit of humour but it turned into a comedy vehicle for the presenters.
    Lets hope they return `normal` car reviews not bloomin 50+ grand ones, something you or I could take rather than just laughing at JC`s shouting with his face rippling and with speed, Hammond being short or Captain slow being slow.
