I'll give it a go, but I can't imagine that I'll become a regular viewer. I'm not a fan of Chris Evans and the appeal of Top Gear for the past decade or so has been more about the presenters and their adventures and antics than any hard automotive information. In fact, the majority of people that I know who love TG would never watch a motoring programme. I just can't imagine Evans and any possible co-presenters winning many people over.
Exactly.
Unfortunately the BBC seem to kid themselves that people who watch TG do so for the cars. As has been mentioned on here, if people are interested in cars the last thing they do is watch TG!!
It's also shown that other , proper, car shows really don't attract the viewers. We watch it as a family. That's a middle aged woman, middle aged man and an 18 years old girl ... Quite a broad demographic.
Between Chris Evans with TG and Damien Lewis becoming the next James Bond ( ) ... The Gingers are coming !!!!
I see there might be a bit of a spat beginning between Clarkson
and Evans. from what I'm reading about the new presenters
and ideas, the new Top Gear is going to be a Car Crash ! )
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Watching a recent Conspiracy programme. It showed a huge secret base the
Nazis built in Norway ( I think ) which could hold 60,000 troops and equipment !
Which I think shows that these sort of places ( Blofeld's famous Volcano base)
is based on a grain of truth, and shouldn't be totally thought of as absurd.
I've never heard of this (then again, it was secret..... :v ) There were about 340 000 German soldiers in Norway at the end of the year and the allies feared they might make a final stand there after Germany capitulated.

Really ? I haven't seen that anywhere...they've always been good mates...
Or it could be like all of the rags and mags who claim that Camilla hates Kate and keeps trying to get her into trouble with the Queen (according to the covers I see when queuing in the supermarket, that is! ;% ). Could be true, but just sounds like a bunch of semi-journos sitting around a table full of beer in a corner pub saying "Right, what sh*t shall we stir up now?"

Apparently the BBC did ask Clarkson to come back according to the rag that is The Sun.
"The tough man of the world. The Secret Agent. The man who was only a silhouette." - Ian Fleming, Moonraker (1955).
Could be, but sort of taking a guys job, can cause a bit of resentment.
No matter how friendly they once were. but for us fans of the original
Show, it will be fun to watch the new version crash and burn I predict
Good viewing figures for the first couple of shows, as people tune in to
See what it's like. Then the slide as viewers look for something else.
Of course I could be wrong but, I don't think so.

Nope...Evans & Clarkson remain firm friends - and Evans was out with Hammond a few days ago...plus Evans & Clarkson did a film for TFI Friday...haven't seen any evidence of a spat between the pair....
The Evans-led Top Gear will be similar in some respects but will be its 'own' show...there is no way Evans can replicate the Top Gear of old - and I think he knows this...
I think it was in the Mirror on line ? Could have been a bit of
"Leg pulling" between them, which they decided to spin as
An argument.
Evans said something about Clarkson being ask to come back to
The BBC , was the voices in his head ? Although I suppose that
Might be part of the banter between them.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Clarkson probably was asked 'unofficially' by some BBC type if he would return and once he confirmed 'no' they announced Evans. He has a three year deal so they were just making sure before they committed.
I think it was a bit crass of Clarkson to say about the BBC offer especially as Evans is supposed to be a friend.
With the recent Bullcrap story about Roger, Sean and Pierce making a new
Film together, I have a couple of suggestions.
" Last of the summer wine". And " Top Gear: The Movie".
Clarkson. = Connery
May. = Moore
Hammond = Brosnan

banter between the three boys.
Chris Evans says Top Gear needs a female presenter ! So I guess that'll be Jodie Kidd then.
Exactly.

Drinks in and enjoy the end of an era.

My Mates Dad met Clarkson a few Years ago, and he told me that he was rather grumpy.
Film together, I have a couple of suggestions.

Bad hygiene, animal cruelty, alcoholism, bad language, unneccesery violence, the music played ...... it's hardly family viewing, is it?
" .......... it's hardly family viewing, is it?"
I think that depends on the family !
