Ekona Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 He's the only person in the world who could save it. Hell, even I might watch it again now! 2 Quote
ZEUS Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I thought he might do it after watching him on TFI Quote
Ekona Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 My word is not good enough??? Not with a rubbish thread title, no! Quote
GMballistic Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Shite. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: +1. Well that's me never watching Top Gear again. Oh well. 4 Quote
Ebized Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Just hope the 'show' reverts to being more about the cars than the presenters. 7 Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Just hope the 'show' reverts to being more about the cars than the presenters. Amen. 2 Quote
veilside z Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 They might even air it the same time, as when the other three start their new show. Ratings war. Quote
glrnet Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Well, I'll give it a go and see what happens, if you don't watch you can't comment. 1 Quote
StevoD Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 He's the only person in the world who could save it. Hell, even I might watch it again now! This is why it won't work the show will be 100% about cars which is what will kill it after a series or two as the number of viewers will dwindle as tho looking for lighten entertainment on a Sunday will get bored Quote
jimboy2 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I thought he might do it after watching him on TFI I think he said on there that he wouldn't do it. Bet there was a secret message in there somewhere lol Quote

The guy who made his name in irreverant light entertainment, and then brought new life to the Radio 2 Breakfast Show which is now more successful than it's ever been? He's done everything from DFYT and TGI for the young 'uns, right up to proving himself a worthy successor to Terry Wogan and keeping the older generation happy. If he cannot do it, then it cannot be done. Also, he knobbed Rose from Dr Who, which automatically makes him a bit of a legend. 3 Quote

Jetpilot Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I know its petty, but its already annoyed me he said he didnt want the job, but, no denying his talent and popularity, not a fan personally however but will be interesting to see the new format and other team choices. Quote
