Prob can’t afford them anymore....

I’d watch Roman Atkinson but I’d still see him as Mr Bean in my head. Chris Barrie from Red Dwarf would prob cause me a similar issue.

There was talk of Guy Martin last time, but I don’t think he’d bother.....

Is that possible? Whistle

I have to agree with Stan. I've refused to watch TG since the BBC threw it's toys out of the pram.

'more time with the family' line I see. Wonder what scandal is being covered up here? Perhaps I'm to cynical....

Rowan is too reserved.

James Martin is a good shout. Bit pretentious, thinks he knows it all, gobby. Oh sorry, they tried that approach with Chris Evans. 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

Remember it's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

Gone in order:
4.4 TDV8 SE - gone to a good home
93 Classic hard dash Plymouth Blue
03 L322 Oslo Blue
2000 Disco TD5 ES Epsom Green
98 P38 Rioja Red

Yep, the BBC killed the concept of Top Gear when it tried to tick all the PC boxes.

Fast & Loud just went the way of most of these programmes.........they start off with a novelty factor, then as popularity is followed by money, they lose sight of the original idea and start looking for ways to extend the franchise and increase takings then wonder why it all goes wrong.

WD was exactly the same......they took it to the US and it went downhill from then on, to the point where the big man left.

Not to hijack the OP but here goes anyway, have you see Flipping Bangers ?? Beggars belief that one. Wish someone would do a 'real' do-it-up show Bow down

To me it was a corporation replacing the cast of Monty Python, never going to work.

Jeremy Clarkson.......Donald Sinden Laughing he wishes he were that funny!

I stopped watching TG when the show started to be about the cast and not cars, a long time ago......I may be controversial in that opinion but it’s mine Wink

Actually I thought MLB was very good, and definitely knew about anything automotive. David

Please let me know if my comments upset you, I may wish to upset you again.
