Stuff Clarkson, lets get Martin involved.

[Freds Dad]

Jodie Kidd?

Presents well, a decent driver and pleasing on the eye.

 

[vernon]

and you think that will stop BBC !!

Yes. Jeremy Clarkson might not be the only departure from the team....

 

[vernon]

OK what about Kate Humble ???

I'd rather see the program die than being resurrected with a team that doesn't work.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Saterday morning on Bbc 1...cook this and then cook that..
so james martin and mary berry are flavour of the month,then we can have cook gear and a cook gear special at xmas..

[Drago]

Replace Clarkson with Norris from Corrie.

 

[Hugh Manatee]

How about the husband and wife team of David and Ruth Archer?

 

[Turbo Rider]

Gosh yes...he repeats himself non-stop...thought he had an echo for a moment...also not keen on the Wolverine after a couple of weeks of diaorhea look...no vote here...

The whole of Top Gear needs a rethink. I'd keep May and, perhaps, Hammond, but the whole ethos of the programme is wrong. Here's a better suggestion:

The problem with Jeremy Clarkson, apart from him being a dick, is that he’s on the wrong side of history. There is a future for cars. There is a brilliant future for cars. There is even a future for programmes about cars. But for people doing stupid stunts in cars, while insisting that they are for petrol heads, who by definition don’t accept the bald facts of anthropogenic climate change? Not so much

 

[Markymark]

They should get with the modern times and replace Top Gear with the equivalent for cycling.

They could talk about the latest bikes and have sections for things like only idiots ride without helmets and why proper cyclists nod hello to each other.

I like Guy Martin. He's like a modern day Fred Dibnah in some respects. I agree he's a Marmite character, but his 'Speed' progs are good as are some of his other documentaries about how things were made. I think he's best left there. He's no Clarkson, for all his 'failings, Clarkson is much smarter and in-tune than Martin whose persona is more about wide eyed-boyish enthusiasm. He'd be bit shoot at Top Gear.

Frankly TG is a dog that's had its day. It should be put out of its misery and after a brief period of remembrance perhaps the Beeb could do as suggested up-thread and that's produce a program that is about the future of motoring and transport and what could be rather than dwelling on its past glories.
Cars have become ridiculous items, items of vanity. There needs to be a change of heart, not more of the same otherwise the 'Petrolhead' crash when it happens will be a major wreck.

 

[Turdus philomelos]

I think Guy is wonderful to watch .

Jodie Kidd?

Presents well, a decent driver and pleasing on the eye.

She is already co-presenting a motoring programme with Quentin Wilson on Ch 5 http://www.classiccarshow.com/

I haven't got a clue who Guy Martin is, but the best new Top Gear presenter would surely be Martine McCutcheon.

 

[mcshroom]

Suzy Perry would be a very good replacement. I think she'd probably prefer to stick with jet setting around with formula 1 though.

 

[LCpl Boiled Egg]

Guy Martin wouldn't do it. He's said in the past he doesn't like doing too much telly and he's much happier fixing trucks. I say bring back William Woollard.
