John Barrowman is the only logical choice.

Might be able to sit through an entire episode now. Most of the team were great, but I couldn't stand Evans.

Yeah that's my view

I won't go out of my way to watch anything that has Evans presenting

Will they dump the other two weak links in Joey and ze German lesbian?

Tiff needs to be brought back, and if they still need some token female to fill their quota, surely there's a presenter in the UK who can actually present, speak coherently and drive a car?

I think they should give the job to Graham Norton. He seems to be rarely on the TV these days.

Yes?

That'd be both terrible and brilliant at the same time.

It'll be Jenson Button whenever he decides to stop collecting massive paychecks to drive a car that breaks down every two weeks

Yeah but do we need a presenter that just bitches that balance is off, or steering isn't right etc.

His coworkers, Le Blanc in particular, hated him.

Just watched the second episode of the series having not checked out any with this cast before - strawberry float me Evans grates quickly. His lines aren't brilliant and seem to just attempt to emulate Clarkson, if JC had snorted a bag of cocaine beforehand.

Le Blanc seems pretty great though. Would be happy to see more of him.

Is this actually the case or just rumours?

I kinda feel sorry for Evans, the media was out for him the second his name was attached to the show's reboot. Yeah, he was the weak-link but he got no time to improve because of that witch hunt*

*also, sexual assault allegations: http://www.itv.com/news/2016-07-04/chri ... l-assault/

I say this with complete seriousness: they should get Gordon Ramsay to present it.
