Disclaimer & comment rulesExcellent move. A whole fresh format for the show from a younger guy with bags of energy brimming with ideas. Clarkson and Co were looking a bit tired and formulaic in the end. Their Top Gear was nearly ready for the scrapyard and towards the end they were scraping the barrel. Especially going to Argyland!
Jun 18th, 2015 - 07:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Whilst I agree that the show would've had to change eventually, Evans is an annoying ginger git, totally the wrong choice. What worries me is that there is a suggestion of Jodie Kidd (to please the PC brigade and the Biased Broadcasting Corp) knowlegable about cars though she is, she's a total airhead and an even worse choice.

Jun 18th, 2015 - 10:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Evans probably drives a Mazda Miata.
Jun 18th, 2015 - 10:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0What a goofy lookin little git he is.
Bye bye Top gear
@7 Evans has a fabulous collection of cars. He has always been a petrol head.
Jun 18th, 2015 - 12:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2 Ginger Chris Evans is worth millions, Elizabeth 1st was ginger, Damian Lewis rumoured to be the next Bond is ginger. Ginger = talent. I think he speaks too fast for pensioners who are getting past it.

Sorry, Mr Evans. Seen various things you've done. You're not up to this. Not surprised that it will be an 'all-new' line-up. Doubt whether Hammond or May would want to join you.
Jun 18th, 2015 - 02:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's not often that I'm tempted to agree with 'Dirtyass', but I'm afraid it really is 'Bye bye Top gear'. I might consider watching one episode to confirm my opinion. Depends on whether I think I can stand the disappointment. How to wreck a perfectly good programme for a bit of PC!
Uh . . . does Chris Evans look a little goofy?
Jun 18th, 2015 - 04:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Do Chris Evans and Gollum share the same optician? Though I guess, as there are two Argentine truck drivers asking who have pinched their windscreens, Evans will have to hide at a truck depot to compete with Gollum, whose glasses just edge it in the size war.
Jun 18th, 2015 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It seems this TV show is really important for the British and the Islanders...
Jun 18th, 2015 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Says it all.
I just cannot stand the idiot AND he may have many lovely cars but he has demonstrated he knows nothing and automotive engineering, but neither did Clarkson who relied on May for that.
Jun 18th, 2015 - 08:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Ginger Minger will no doubt select a 'good woman' for that: Suzy yes, the airhead, NO.
It will be screwed anyway when the gang launch their new show.
I'll watch it with the optimistic hope that it will still be good but I will miss the daft buggers. I'd like to see Sabine Schmitz in as one of the presenters.

Jun 18th, 2015 - 11:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He will be presenting a motoring programme, but it won't be Top Gear, whatever the BBC think they will call it. It will be an empty shell, no mystique, no chemistry, no humour. If Chris Evans as presenter and producer is anything to go by, it will be a 'rattly tin'. It reminds me of the film Good Morning Vietnam, where Robin Williams character is fired and the nerdy officer takes over and tries to be like Williams, trying too hard to be the same and failing excruiatingly badly.
