    /\/\ I would never ever ever watch the programme again if ol' Fanny Pads was in it and if it just so happened to be on as I entered a room I would gouge my eyes out and shove pencils into my eardrums.

    you say that .. but with 2 presenters pissing about and one of them trying to be serious it would make for a quite comedic moments IMO ..... look at all the scenes in the old top gear where JC and Hammond are being dicks and May is "pretending" to be serious and getting annoyed .. funny ? ..... now imagine it where the presenter really does annoyed at his car being tampered with or Hammond cocking something up.

    Having Guy Martin in it being enthusiastic and trying to get things done on time with a dithering May and an idiot Hammond, would be good.

    People are worried about who will replace JC ..... its easy, get hammond to replace JC .. then you need to worry about who to replace Hammond ... crap anyone could do that, Hammond is replaceable !

    Guy martin is a good shout. But he's a biker first and foremost

    that would add a twist to the old format - a show where it likes bikers .. can have a more car vs bike adventures/challenges/races.

    but as Jamie said, he would never do it, because the expectation is for top gear be solely produced by cocks and idiots

    How about Hammond and May, with Nina Conti and a Clarkson puppet.
    They could get away with allsorts then.

    Personally I think they should let it die with Clarkson's exit.

    Like him or not, he was the driving force behind the show's success. I fear anyone else will either look like they are trying to emulate Clarkson, or else will be dull as dishwater.

    Is there any truth to the JC signing with Netflix rumors?

    Another option .... and this is genius due to its simplicity and ease ..... another option would be to do what they did with HIGNFY when Deaton left and get a different presenter each week ... now that isn't the genius part ... the genius part is have the SAME guest each week, namely Jeremy Clarkson.

    Star in the reasonably priced car would be the same; him talking to someone else ... and if they just did some slo mo shots of him going round the same track in the reasonably priced car every week .. then its going to be no different to his reviews of cars anyway

    the only difference would be he wouldn't be in the challenges or the adventures ..... but the regular episodes would be the same

    A long time ago JC replaced the no show Ford Cougar with a tub of lard. A sack of potatoes would do just fine.

    Good old boys
    Oh the irony.

    All three of the men you have pictured were replaced by the time LOTSW was finally laid to rest as a shadow of its former self.

    I was gutted that the Beeb have given up on blokes. But then I found "Men's Hour" on 5-Live this evening. Strange how it clashes with the Top Gear slot?

    Anyway, there was a chap welling-up about the lovely day he had picking daffodils with his daughters. Another guy described the joy he felt watching his son copying his skipping technique.

    There was advice on how to wipe your child's bottom properly. And lots of stuff about how to make friends with the people your wife insists you meet.

    I'm not making any of this up.

    They play Fifth Gear on repeat at my dentists.

    The thinking being, you'd rather have your teeth drilled into than sit and watch that
