I don't think Top Gear will be the same without Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May

(16 Jun 2015, 6:42 pm)Adam I'll give it a chance. I'll watch the watch the whole series before coming to a reasoned conclusion. It's obvious that it won't be a patch on the Clarkson, Hammond and May setup, so does reduce my expectations of the show quite a bit.
With the BBC enforcing a ban on "all-male" panels on shows last year, it implies that a female will be part of the three new presenters. Jodie Kidd? Carol Vorderman? Suzi Perry? They all like their cars.
After reading your post, Jodie Kidd was the first name who sprung to mind. She has even appeared on the program in the past (in the Autralian World Cup double decker car challenge) and as a Star in the Reasonably Priced Car. Can't forget Clarkson's favourite car buddy Kristin Scott Thomas though
!
RE: General TV thread - S813 FVK - 16 Jun 2015
(16 Jun 2015, 6:47 pm)Adam I'm sure Vorderman was a guest in the Star in the Car as well, but back in the very early days.
I think she was yes. Perry is the only one of the three that has never made an appearance on the show but would she be happy with quitting F1 for Top Gear? I'm sure there is a lot more attatched to the job than filming reviews, challenges and the show itself.

No idea if it was a coincidence - but...
TFI Friday - Evans had Grimmy on prior to his XFactor announcement.
Clarkson was on, in a little Top Gear segment with Clarkson.
He had that Welsh lass from The One Show in the crowd, standing alongside Suzy Perry...
Depending when Top Gear is filmed/broadcast, it could fit in with the F1 season (if Perry continues doing it).
Also, the number of live F1 broadcasts by the BBC, is going to be reduced.

I couldn't stand him when James May went to test drive the Ferrari California, take your shoes off this and then he was bouncing on the sofa etc., he's painted all of his cars white. I can't stand his voice, it's so high pitch.
I'll be watching the first episode with my brother, if we don't like it, we can continue watching the old TopGear over and over (and over) again on Dave.

One thing i have never understood about Countdown: The letters game is 9 letters, the title of the show is 9 letters yet the 'tea time teasers' are only 8 letters.

It'll probably be because there's far more eight-letter words than nine-letter ones. If nine-letter words are used for conundrums, the number of unique ones will decrease faster if they were to use them alongside teatime teaser ones. (They would probably want to keep the unique words lasting for as long as possible).

Can the BBC please show something decent on its Glastonbury coverage, don't think Ella Eyre has been off the red button since 7pm. Obviously I won't be watching Kayne West, I am not strongly against him playing at Glastonbury but it's not something I would enjoy watching.

He answered a split second after the clock hit zero, reckon the 3 of them got robbed out of 10K each to be honest.
