    Evans to host top gear

    He just signed a 3 year deal.
    No mention of who the other presenters will be.
    I think he could work.

    TV and radio personality Chris Evans will replace Jeremy Clarkson as the lead presenter of an all-new Top Gear line-up, the BBC announces.

    Fantastic!!
    Maybe I'll start watching it again, now that the Mouth on a Stick has gone!!

    I listen to Chris Evans every morning on way to work, and I think he has plenty to offer TG

      "Jeremy Clarkson was suspended, then dropped, by the BBC in March following a "fracas" with a producer at a hotel. His final appearance on Top Gear will be shown on 28 June. The episode will be made up of two films shot before Clarkson was suspended, with Hammond and May presenting links from the studio."

      June 28th then.

          But he knows nothing about cars... All he can do is buy ones that people tell him are a good investment. I do like him but can't see him pulling this off. Be interesting to see if they've made the right decision considering the suggestions put forward by the 'fans' of the show.

            Sorry, but Evans is irritating beyond belief especially with his scared sycophantic posse and how wonderful his life is. Another C list celeb in my eyes. TG was all about the relationship between the 3 presenters. Funny thing is how Evans splits opinion of people!

                      I've met a couple of people who know him and say he's a very nice bloke. He definitely has charm but I don't understand why he's doing Top Gear...it's not like he needs the money. In fact a million a year is chicken feed to anyone who has spent £23 million on a Ferrari 250GTO.

                        I think it'll be ok. It does need someone with some kind of personality... love him or hate him...

                          i think he's okayyyyy and probably just doing it because it looks like fun!

                          the wages are merely an added bonus to a guy with his bank balance.

                            He seems incapable to treat anyone he works with as an equal.Plus unlike Clarkson knows very little about cars. it will be interesting to see who they put him with. Jody Kidd has been mentioned.
                            Nothing can stay the same and maybe a change is whats needed but Clarkson May and Hammond made the show the biggest thing the BBC had and its made more money worldwide than anything else they have sold.
                            If I owned a TV company and had that kind of format and those presenters and made millions of pounds out of it.Would I kill the goose that laid the golden eggs ?.......Would you ?

                              Clrkson was here at the bottom of Africa last weekend, scrapping the bottom of the barrel with his 2 stooges as nobody else wants to see their monotonous routine they call a show.
