Think it needs someone outspoken, like Clarkson, he just needs to think before he speaks sometimes!

Clarkson, let's be honest he often says what people are thinking. Even if they don't want to admit it. . .

Most remembered for drowing at the time the only vauxhall frontera in europe, on Burham on sea beech by getting caught out by the tides.. That and it's where james may first appeared on a car show too

I much prefer the car reviews on fifth gear to be honest.

Top Gear needs a proper revamp IMO. So so predictable.

You taking the piss?!

Only Tiff Needell could replace him & come back to TG, but even he's too nice, can pedal though!

Clarkson is a bellend but that's what's jokes about him... watch Jason Plato talk his smug shite for 5mins, at least Clarkson is candid 100% of the time.

Totally agree.

Fifth Gear is has become far more interesting to watch if you actually want to see a TV Show which carries out fairly useful reviews on a wide range of cars.. and Top Gear is no longer worth watching since they have been reheating old features/challenges/tests with a slightly different slant so they can call it 'new'.

I will still watch TG tonight and keep my fingers crossed that the ridiculous features have been toned down, the poorly scripted 'antics' and dismal 'acting' from the presenters have been addressed.


Cheers,
Grant

If he thought about what he was going to say he wouldn't be outspoken.

Haven't watched tonight's programme yet but hopefully the revamp mentioned a few posts back has brought it back up to the standard it used to be as it really went downhill IMO in the last few years. I think it needs to be a cross between Fifth Gear which i think carries out better reviews on the cars (not just supercars) and the humour of Top Gear.
