Sabine Schmitz already presents for the German D-Motor series. She'd be great for Top Gear but I doubt she'd do a full run.
Where it me, I'd do something like HIGNFY did after Angus Deayton left- guest presenters with Hammond and May. The guest presenter thing works well there....

I like the programs he's done, but I can't see him presenting Top Gear. May as well get Quentin Wilson or Jon Bentley to do it.
Item 1 here. Shows the biggest problem with Clarkson. He is the main draw of the show.
I get to watch the American version of it. The parallels being 3 presenters with 'personalities' - all seems a bit forced though. Most of the ones I've seen don't bother with any studio pieces, they are 'challenge' type programs - each one chooses a car, does challenges and at the end the winner gets to drive whatever that weeks choice of supercar is.
Whatever one's personal views regarding if Clarkson is funny or not, or if he is replaceable, surely the real issue here is should the BBC turn a blind eye to violence in the workplace if an individual earns them vast amounts of money, my personal opinion is no, if after an investigation it turns out he did assault someone, then he has to go. If any other individual assaulted a colleague in the workplace they would be shown the door.

Accusations of homophobia are bullying.

Or the whine of a fox having sex perhaps? I dunno...I find him annoying and haven't seen him not be annoying...that's all I know...he can have a second chance though...but if it all goes wrong, it's on less thing for me to bother about watching.

As are accusations of false accusations...There's an excellent episode of South Park which covers this...basically boils everything down to the fact that everyone bullies everyone...human nature to moan like fark about everything...

May was on the box saying there'd been a dust up about tea and that it was nothing serious. Having had experience of cycling around drivers before teatime, I can confirm that a hungry driver is a dangerous one.

You're making the link. I said that suggesting an escalation of violence as a potential solution is dumb.
ETA: Looking back, I didn't even say that. I inferred it. It is dumb though.
