I reckon Suzi Perry would be a good choice

Only Diana Rigg can pull off a leather suit.

No need for a gender change, my vote would have to go to Jeff

Pretty sure that was Jeremy Piven, who was at the time playing an agent on Entourage.

Yup, it was Piven AND Clarkson.... hmmm..... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317219/...=tt_cl_sm#cast

I don't remember Clarkson doing that voice.

And he's gone:

No real surprise, he didn't give the BBC much choice but what I find more interesting is the fact May has also resigned yet Hammonds comments commit him either way.

Maybe they anticipated JC's fall from grace and were hedging their bets; the voice I heard was Clarkson's...

Not what he said on SKY News.

I think any single presenter will struggle, and the best way for Top Gear to stay alive is with weekly guest presenters a la Have I Got News For You. Not ideal, but gives a wide range of people for the viewer to warm to or not.

STEED · 03-25-15, 01:23 PM

Clarkson was Top Gear he came up with the ideas the planning the editing the research you name it he did it.

May did say on SKY News "we're a package" dose seem to suggest....we shall see.
