Unless you have been in a news free zone for 24 hrs it wont have gone unnoticed that Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended...

Allegedly he punched a producer....

Sundays episode has been shelved along with the remaining two in the Top Gear series..

Clarksons suspension has led to a massive petition for his reinstatement.

Personally, I wonder why so many want him back? Surely this massively popular show can survive without him? (Stands back ready to be panned for that comment Fear)

Maybe this 'hero worship' of Clarkson is a 'man thing'? (apologies if that appears sexist Rolleys)

I don't particularly like him. I think he arrogantly believes he is invincible....Drum

For me, it would be like Blue Peter without the pets (oh wait...)......

 

The show will still go on however where Cagney be without Lacey, Romulus wthout Remus....

 

It would still go on...however it just won't be the same.

Top Gear could continue but it would need some clever writing and hiring. Sadly, while still entertaining, Richard and James are not main presenter material. They are the sides that add to the main personality. 

 

Who could they get to replace him? 


On This Morning they have just read out a tweet from Piers Morgan saying "#Topgear I am available"

Mmmmmmm...'Out of the frying pan and into the fire'... springs to mind LOL

If Piers Morgan started presented it the ratings would plummet in my honest opinion. You might as well have Trevor McDonald or Philip Schofield present it in that case.

Choice of any new presenter is obviously going to be a deciding factor in the all-important viewing figures and will ultimately be responsible for the survival or demise of the programme.

It's just not presentation skills needed for that job; it also needs passion and true-belief in what you're promoting.  Not that I'm saying nobody else has that...perhaps it's just a change of the times.

Chris Evans has a severe passion for cars and could easily fit in with the other two.
Piers Morgan? The BBC will let him know by leaving a voicemail on my phone.

Piers Morgan has only said that because him and Clarkson don't get on. I think Piers has this notion that the British public actually like him, I don't know anyone who can stand the tw(insert an 'a' or an 'i')t.
