Just like they are expected to deal with others leaving
Johnathon Ross.
Russel brand
Adrian chiles
That horsey woman who looks like Adrian chiles
Fern cotton.
Zane something. malik is it?
And whoever else
Fifth gear is a much better show about cars that most people could afford, and their tests are much better, but the humour is not there.
From that list I want Suzi Perry. Coming to that, anyone of the Gadget Show might do well. Entertainment instead of proper review. It's not a review show anyway. Not many people are stuck between a Gaillardo and a Koenigsegg and need help to decide.
I also guess we see Clarkson on either Top Gear USA or Australia soon.
Suzi Perry
Vicky Butler Henderson
Lucy Worsley
The dream team.
those shows are franchised by BBC worldwide so Id put money on that never happening
I don't think there is anyone that could fill his shoes. Clarkson was doing good telly (matter of opinion) back in the 80's and there is nobody that has Clarkson's wealth of experience in journalism and in the automotive industry.
Whatever you think of him and his antics, Top Gear is now dead,
I sat with my son last night and watched a re-run of the episode when they created their own mobile homes. We laughed and giggled, and I felt quite nostalgic. I think that will be his equivalent memory to the one I have of sitting down with my Dad on a Saturday and watching Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks slug it out on what was an entertainment programme purporting to be sport.
So the head of the BBC and his family have had death threats, and the chap who was assaulted (who didn't report it and who isn't pressing charges) is being abused on Twatter.
What a great country we live in...................
A) No he didn't. He wished they would go blind. Just a joke. Like on Top Gear.
Seriously, Miffi, did you watch all the way to the end? All the way to the bit where he explains exactly what he's doing and how it relates to the subject matter? The bit where it becomes blindingly clear that OF COURSE he's not actually wishing blindness on Jeremy Clarkson's daughters (mind given that you thought he was wishing them dead, I suppose it shows how much attention you were paying), but employing an exaggerated version of Clarkson's wearisome comedy tropes to make a point about their irresponsible nature? The bit where he talks down the camera directly at you and explains it all, making it explicit that he's doing so in order to avoid sensationalist misreadings of his intent of the type that you've clearly made here? Did you?
I find the Stewart Lee thing funny and quite clever. It is a bit near the knuckle but it has to be to make the point - you almost have to think is it ok to laugh at this - the problem with some of Clarkson's cracks is that people laugh at them without thinking.
I like clever comedy, so maybe it is just his delivery style that is not my cuppa.
Really? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32214799
How can that possibly make any sense at all?
thats a shit decision
you can almost taste the smug digs he'll be making.
Interesting way of handling violence in the workplace.
Didn't he throw a biro at Hislop last time, cutting his face? probably muttering something about the 'pen being mightier than the sword'.
This really has changed my view of the BBC. All of a sudden, I don't feel like paying them my license fee.
he's pulled out of hosting HIGNFY
Sue Perkins is currently joint fav (@2/1) with Dermot O'leary to be Jezzer's Top Gear replacement:
I'll go for 4 episodes before she makes a soggy bottom pun - perhaps during a track test involving a swelteringly hot day and a Recaro bucket seat.
