Disease Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Will not watch it without Clarkson, the BBC will effectively kill Top Gear. Still though when the trio move to a new program on Sky with a bigger budget I will watch that.
Davit2005 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Certainly won't be watching it if Chris Evans is a presenter, as it is when repeats are on featuring him in Star in the reasonably priced car I switch it over.

Davit2005 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Well speaking of repeats, you can always watch Clarkson on Dave True, and always got the specials available to watch through again and again
6Foot2 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Well speaking of repeats, you can always watch Clarkson on Dave I had to read that more than once to make sense of it.
mikeprice Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 ChrisEvans was the first replacement I thought of - but it would be very different But then maybe it needs to change - it may be better After all - I never thought he could replace Terry Wogan!
mthomas08 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Not a fan of Evans, never was. I know he is a pure petrol head but I am not a fan of his. I will see how the show goes without Clarkson but I don't see Hammond/May being the same with Evans. With that partnership no longer the same I get the feeling I wont enjoy the show as much. When they have their big episodes the way Clarkson reacts to things is exactly how I sometimes react its bits like that which add real entertainment for me. Still nothing is official just yet. I suspect this could be my last Top Gear season I make an effort to watch.
abillybob Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Does anyone know if they have already recorded the last episodes of the season with Clarkson in it? Will this be broadcast even though he's being sacked? I am not keen on Chris Evans, I'll give it a go but can't see myself enjoying it as much as the perfect trio, I also can't see May and Hammond sticking around. I remember when May went to Chris' house to look at his car collection and that felt awkward and weird then. I don't like the bloke but you have to try everything once.
Tesla Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Steve coogan came out with some heavy criticism of top gear a few years ago. Doubt he'd want the seat
Garacesh Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Steve coogan came out with some heavy criticism of top gear a few years ago. Doubt he'd want the seat Maybe he'd consider it a challenge to reform Top Gear and fix the things he criticised?

I think they possibly have as the BBC said they have pulled the episodes, but at the same time they may not have done.
Tesla Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 They generally would of had all the out of studio/track bits done a few months back. Star in a car and probably hot laps etc are all done in the week leading upto it.
bald_pig Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I think they possibly have as the BBC said they have pulled the episodes, but at the same time they may not have done. BBC definitely pulled the episodes, I was supposed to be at the recording...
rad Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Newspapers are saying today he will be sacked. Clarkson on Twitter says he hasnt heard a thing. I dont believe either
hardtailstar Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Jeremy Clarkson: 'I haven't heard a thing' - BBC News latest on bbc website
Joanne Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 From that article... Meanwhile Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans, who has been touted as a potential replacement for Clarkson, has ruled himself out of the running. "Not only is it not true, it's absolute nonsense," he told listeners on Wednesday morning. "From what I've seen on Twitter and various social media, there's a 50/50 split approximately as to whether me being involved in the show is a good idea. "In TV or radio, if you get a 50/50 love/hate reaction that usually equals massive hit. I used to work for [ratings body] Barb and knock on people's doors and this was the rule of thumb. "However, I'm in the no camp. So regardless of whether it would be a hit, I'm voting a no for myself on that show, so that's never going happen. "And that's the end of that."
Arthur Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Does anyone know if they have already recorded the last episodes of the season with Clarkson in it? Nope. The bit in the studio is filmed on Wednesdays I believe. www.quora.com/What-is-it-like-to-attend-a-taping-of-BBCs-Top-Gear Will this be broadcast even though he's being sacked? I reckon so once they have hired the new presenter(s). I also can't see May and Hammond sticking around. Their contracts are up for renewal next week. I doubt they will stick around without Clarkson. James May and Richard Hammond refuse to film Top Gear without Jeremy Clarkson
tmcd35 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 James May and Richard Hammond refuse to film Top Gear without Jeremy Clarkson I guessed that was the case, although a ballsy move considering both of them have been forging pretty decent hosting careers with the Beeb outside of Top Gear. Jeremy on the other hand as been relegated to DVD Christmas specials for a while now. My guess, if Jeremy is sacked, they'll both agree to remain with Top Gear rather than risk jeopardizing their other works with the Beeb.

My guess, if Jeremy is sacked, they'll both agree to remain with Top Gear rather than risk jeopardizing their other works with the Beeb. I don't think either of them are particularly bothered about working for the BBC over another company, they have plenty of money and are very popular personalities. It's not like they will find themselves unable to get jobs.
headoned Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Guy Martin would make a way better host anyway. Shame he isn't such a fan of the whole fame/money thing.
Garacesh Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 James May and Richard Hammond refuse to film Top Gear without Jeremy Clarkson I love how one of the options for replacement on that page is Piers Morgan
CAM Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Guy Martin would be my choice, but it'd involve breaking the Top Gear formula down into something more serious which risks it's current success. I can't see him being mean and controversial enough to be a new Jeremy Clarkson.

LiamH Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I find it funny how BBC news is tripping over its own feet reporting the whole thing, they don't even know within the same organisation whats going on so what chance do we have?
