Top Gear: The future?

[Cleoriff]

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 )

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

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

Matt le blanc confirmed as presenter number 2.
Yes, Joey.

Could be a clever move, since friends he's done a failed spinoff "joey", a decent comedy "episodes" and a few top gear spinoffs.
Also bear in mind he is the fastest ever star in a reasonably priced car.

Great choice in my view. As you say, he's been great when he's been on there

First thoughts?.....Too many people. I wasn't a fan of the original purely due to my dislike of Clarkson. (I loved the concept just not him) I wonder whether it will lose continuity due to the amount of folk involved. However...it remains to be seen...

[Cleoriff]

I also hope it doesn't become the Eddie Jordan show...

Eddie Jordan is one of my least likes people. ...

A jumped up little man in my opinion. I was surprised to see him in the line up
