Agree. I am sure that they can get a replacement.

The bigger problem is whether the whole TG format still has legs. Everything about it, from the supercar porn to the faux 'races' to the Stig to the SIARPC, once fresh and vigorous, now feels more than a bit tired, and past its sell-by. I speak as a onetime big fan, who loved watching it with my kids back when they were kids, but they're applying to Uni now, and TG feels more and more like the mouthy kid who used to amuse but is starting to just... get on everyone's tits.

Strictly come dancing is I think the BBC's biggest money spinner. Look how that did when Bruce Forsyth moved on. They managed that by replacing more talent... As they did with Jonathan Ross, Angus Deayton...

Agree. It might the opportunity to change a tired look. With you on the mouthy bit and to this point, I realised that it does not appeal to the younger generation. Go to a pub and ask someone in their late twenties and I am sure we would see disinterest.

Why would they want to watch a bunch of people who could be their dad trying to be lads? Have you seen any of the shots where they are doing challenges and Clarkson is trying to sleep, it looks like an old peoples home documentary. Thanks to Dave you can see the episodes from when they had hair and waists and then realise what it has become.

Best description yet. And I do agree.

Credit due I thought the last one where May was put in a 700bhp 4WD Autocross car, realised there was no pretending he could actually race against these guys & decided (or decided for him) that he had to try to stay in front of real racers for 6 laps was pretty good, but that was a spark in a very dreary show

Nope, but then I didn't say that. I do plenty of silly stuff, I don't have to pretend I need to be drunk and on the pull at the same time though.

I've never seen them do that. I don't mind the silliness, it's the cliched, caricatured, trite predictability that grates.
