To be fair, doesn't matter if BBC say it's bollocks and it will be back - if Clarkson decides he doesn't want to present it, he won't.... And to be honest, TG won't be TG without Jezza really.....

but is it not a car show ? and he is seen by so many to represent the car fraternity yet knows fook all about cars and makes so many mistakes when even talking about them really fooks me off
they need some one who actually knows what there on about and with a sence of humor not some jumped up lanky prick who likes the sound of his own antagonistic voice

top gear was become a bit of a bore anyway with to much time spent on silly races and other nonsense and not enough actual car stuff.if there is a new series hopefully they will put a bit more into it than yet more jc in fast car versus the other two on public transport routines.

Doesn't JC own the rights to the Top Gear show though?

If he doesn't then he's obviously in charge - no doubt this will all be over a pay dispute for the next season!

Cheers,

Andy
