Exactly.... one articles suggests Chris Evans, in which case Im done with TopGear UK.

 

Who do you think has already made offers to JC to start a new show with more freedom and budget?

 

Chris Evans would be an ok shout to be fair, first few season will be cringworthy.

 

But he mentioned it on his breakfast show that he would never ever do it and he wants JC to remain.

This is what I think will happen:

 

- JC gets sacked

- A new set of presenters comes in

- Other channels vie for JCs services

- JC starts a new show on another channel and RH and JM join him

- Top Gear viewing ratings go rapidly downhill

- JCs new show is aired at 8pm on a Sunday with great ratings

- BBC realise they screwed up

- BBC cancel TG as it's no longer worth it

- JC sits there with a scotch and a cigar in a smoking jacket with that silly huge smug grin on his face

Jeez, is there a national countdown board? Can't believe how much media coverage one loud mouthed media slob can receive over a bit of handbags incident in a hotel. Does the future of this puerile TV show really mean so much to people? Sad...

Although I like JC a lot and JC is Top Gear, it was the right decision in the end.

 

But BBC will be ultimate losers on this. Give it a couple of years and Sky will buy the rights to the now defunct Tp Gear brand and all will return to normal.

 

Or maybe he will be pouched for Fifth Gear.

Wouldn't be that long.

They won't buy top gear, they or another channel will just start their own

Not surprising, the BBC have done the right thing. However, a good share of the blame for this lies with the BBC, who haven't managed Clarkson well at all.

 

It will be interesting to see what the future brings for top gear, but I doubt it will include May or Hammond.

Exactly, JC sold the franchise to BBC and then "forced" himself out, which means that he is probably outside of contract (there were probably clauses that stopped him from leaving and starting another show, but if they sack him, its a different story) and can start another show, exactly the same. Which probably means that the BBC spent a load of license money on the franchise, which is now pretty much worthless!!!

 

I wonder if James and Richard would work with Jodie Kidd :D

 

If JC goes to Channel4 they could get

Have it as a piss take 'Bottom Gear' with a 'Star in an unreasonably priced car'.

 

I like that :)
