Top Gear 2016 who should the presenters be?

[weltweit]

Assume no Clarkson, because he has been sacked, and no May or Hammond who have decided not to sign for the 2016 series. Assume also that the BBC wants the program to continue.

Who would your presenter line-up be?

Me I would like Guy Martin involved, someone who truly knows about speed!

What about you?

its the bbc so chris evans would be the next in line to clarkson

Hmm, I am not really an Evans fan, he does have a lot of Ferraris though but I am not sure that qualifies him ..

Would you watch the show if he was the presenter?

 

[skyscraper101]

Suzi Perry

 

[dessiato]

How about someone like Brundell? He would be an interesting addition, someone who knows what he's doing and could be fun, perhaps. But then there'd need to be a Stig replacement I suppose.

eta What was the name of the German, Sabine something?

Suzi Perry

I quite like Suzy Perry, certainly I would prefer her to Chris Evans ... but we need three ...

 

[marshall]

Hear Jay Kay being suggested.

Are they getting rid of all of them? ETA.. just read the OP

Yes Sabine Schmidt I think, she sure can drive so she might be interesting.

As to Brundle, could be interesting ..

Indidentally I always get pissed off with Clarkson powersliding all these expensive cars round the corners, with tyres that cost a weeks wages which are totalled as a result, it isn't the fastest way around the corner as evidenced by the fact that the Stig never does it on his hot laps and if a normal road user did it they would have no tyres left to drive home on.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Me and my brother. He's bluff Yorkshire man who does fantasy Grand Prix, I can't drive and the only bit of a car I know is a cup holder. Perfect!

 

[weltweit]

For the sake of this argument / thread yes ....

I think there is a chance Hammond and May might not sign new contracts if Clarkson has gone.

 

[Indeliblelink]

BBC will go for George Monbiot

 

[dessiato]

Sabine seemed to have the right sort of humour that would work. Also she is unlikely to be as sexist as Jezzer, and could appeal to a female audience. Certainly Vicki Butler-Hendersen seemed to be good in her role on Fifth Gear

 

[8ball]

Lots of good ideas here.

Also, I'd be up for giving it a go for a series or so, but I get a bit grouchy when I'm hungry.

andrew eldritch. he knows about speed.

suggs out of madness

 

[dessiato]

Who was the AC-DC member who did a few laps? He might have the right characteristics. But if they want a real wanker to replace JC then Simon Cowell seems to be from the same mould.

& billy joel channelled from beyond the grave as from the looks of this video he used to work with cars

why not take this opportunity to put in some nicer people?

That's what attracts me to the idea of Sabine Schmidt or Vicki Butler-Hendersen. They both could change the way the prog functions and, hopefully, give it a fresher face.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Another Billy...

 

[DrRingDing]

It's obvious what they should do. Use the same method that HIGNFY utilised i.e. have a guest host each week.

Kicking off with Steve Coogan.

maybe you're right...

perhaps a woman presenter would be good too

step forward cerys out of catatonia...

I watched fifth gear a few times but never warmed to Vicki Butler-Hendersen as a presenter, but Sabine Schmidt I could certainly see engaging with an audience. And then perhaps the stars could do a lap of the ring rather than that flat airfield

I think that is a low blow, the current presenters are nice enough, they just sometimes get it wrong when they are trying to be controversial, Clarkson is a nob but I have never really been offended by the screened programs.

That would be exciting, especially when they have a guest who can't drive. Imagine your first ever driving lesson on the 'ring

Jay Kay is a bit like Clarkson in that he is Marmite ... no ... there are lovers and haters out there ..
