The hamster is taking over Richard and Judy's slot on tv, so it might be him.
Or at least that's what I'm sure I heard off someone, somewhere.

It should be renamed 'The Jeremy Clarkson Show', and they should put Top Gear back on during the week in it's old format.
Don't get me wrong, if it were possible I'd have Jezza as a surrogate father, the mans a genius, but I also miss the traditional Top Gear of old.

I heard it was James May, due to a health condition! Friend was at the filming yesterday, apparently Hamilton was on! Should be a good one!

Shotgun Jame's job

Get rid of James??? Nooooo I quite like him, seems to have come into his own in the last couple of series, I can't imagine it without him and he add a nice contrast to the other two.

Vicky is nice to look at, but she is RUBBISH as a presenter!

Can't have Clarkson leave, he is bullish, non pc, and funny as hell. I'd let him go if he went into politics! I'd vote for him!

James May is the most likely candidate of you ask me cos was he not only getting 60k a series compared to Hammond on something like 300k and Clarkson on around 800k !!!!!!


Be a shame if any of them go as they make a great team and the programme is about the only one i make a point of watching

Quality line up, be a shame to break it up.

The amount of people who say Clarkson for Prime Minister, I wonder if he did get into politics how popular he would be? Not as much when it came to the crunch I would think

The three of them are great together, best show on television, james may brings a bit of balance to the show and takes plenty of stick for being old and slow etc, very funny. Very witty though and gives plenty back.

agreed

I've always feared the day one of them would leave because the line-up is PERFECT as it is. They have the perfect blend of similarities and differences. If I had to pick one to leave, it wouldd be Hammond, Couldn't stand Clarkson or May leaving, but will still like all 3 together

Don't like Vicki Butler-Henderson at all, such a shit presenter and so annoying, but who the fuck suggested that Sabine Bird? I'd need a shotgun at the ready if I had to work with her. THE MOST annoying person on this planet. Just SHUT THE FUCK UP WOMAN!
