I would have had the revamp led by Alan Partridge, partnered by Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder and Tony Robinson as Baldrick.

I didn't think it could get worse, I was wrong.

Let's face it, the show may have been called 'Top Gear' but it was actually 'Clarkson and mates'
They would have done just as well if they had another theme other than cars.
curiously i read clarkson in the sunday times in a cafe today (cant get myself to buy murdoch crap for actual money). however, clarkson seemed better (worth a read if anyone feels that way inclined), he seems to have regained some mojo fromo being sacked and through a crisis. It's weird - in principle i genuiney dont like clarkson (his reactionary views are opposite of mine), but there is something about the way he says what he thinks (some of the time) that is very liberating, and liberal. On an entirely separate note i noted that murdoch press appears to be doing a complete 180 on Brexit - now backing staying - a few weeks ago it was furiously for leaving. What on earth is that about?

I thought i'd give TG another chance last night..... Well it started off quite well with the McLaren and i thought maybe, just maybe, this show is going to get better. But it was all downhill from there, just as bad as last weeks effort.
They are still ripping off Jezzas lines..... 'Our tame racing driver', 'All we know is he's called the Stig', 'Some say' and 'On that bombshell'
Painfully embarrassing.
The only person that can do Jeremy Clarkson, is Jeremy Clarkson...... Just feck off Chris Evans you boring has been tw@t.

The brain washing is beginning to show.

Chris Evans has announced his withdrawal from Top Gear.

The show has slumped from 5 million viewers per episode to 1.9 millions for the latest one shown.

Matt le Blanc will be taking the lead for the present.

Not sure it will work even without Evans but its a step in right direction.
I agree. With the loss of the Clarkson team I think only a complete change would do, the mimicking of the old program was unlikely to work.

Other than the old Top Gear, no car program has ever worked well long term on UK TV.
