    Joey it is then.

    Eddie Jordan is quite entertaining in the F1 coverage, I think. I don't think it will be as good as the trio's show, but it might not be as bad as some people seem to think.

    I've thought the opposite. He's seemed very self assured to me. But sounds like he'll only be featured every few episodes or something anyway.

    EJ is a decent choice actually. He was pretty fast in his day and he's likely to say whatever pops into his mad old head.

    I saw some of James May's programme the other day. It's just his bits from Top Gear getting a full hour. The style and production are exactly the same.

    Reading about about the two I've never previously heard of.

    Chris Harris is well known for fronting various motoring programmes on YouTube.

    Referencing the show's cheeky and irreverent style, Harris said: "I'm quite gobby and happy to get into trouble, so I'm hoping I can underpin the programme with journalistic credibility but still cause some mischief."
    Ugh.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ting-Gear.html

    Ugh. It's going to be horrific.

    I can only imagine that the core (Big Breakfast, Joey, Magda Goebbels) will do the Top Gear stuff, and the others will do the Fifth Gear stuff. It makes sense in some ways because it avoids direct comparisons with the old one, but there has to be a divide along the lines suggested or it will be too random and shit.

    I can see it being the better show but the BBC one will last longer because it's the BBC and not some flash in the pan vehicle that won't exist in 5 years.

    I'm sorry but the 'public' token black guy that looks like he has a disability.

    That line up is like an NHS employer's wet dream. Black, female, European, Ginger, American, half-cast, old and Irish.

    I had a pensions leaflet through the other day, the photo on the front of which in just four people managed to cover literally everything except disability. I was quite impressed.

    Middle aged white man
    Young black man, with his hand on the white man's shoulder
    Young Asian woman
    Old Chinese woman

    They were all standing up and leaning over a table looking excited about some form of academic work.

    Based on 30 seconds of a youtube video?

    Not sure how all this will pan out but he knows his shit and can drive.

    That being said, I hadn't properly watched Top Gear for ages because it was becoming a bit crap, save the odd interesting short on a car. Star in a reasonably priced car is and always has been the worst thing about it.

    It reads like 'just find any black man who's ever been filmed driving a car'. They probably thought they would be taken to pieces like the Oscars if they didn't have one.

    I've no idea how many episodes they're doing, but I remember reading that they were budgeted at something bonkers like two hundred million quid for the series.

    Over the entire shows run of five years. I'm guessing 6 episodes and a special every year and a half.

    Bit of respect needed, yes, but you'd think he was doing them round it, rather than in the general vicinity.

    It's a lose lose situation, Evans is pandering to his BBC Radio 2 personality by saying it's a disgrace etc so he just looks like a pathetic, moaning cunt and Top Gear are losing their EDGINESS by not showing it yet making a huge fuss about it on the BBC.

    Why put yourselves in that situation in the first place? We can't even laugh at it because it's another country ala THE SUN.

    Surely there is no way Evans didn't know about this.

    I'm guessing Le Blanc will get the hump now due to not being backed publicly and storm out. Scenes.

    Unless it's a memorial commemorating those who died fighting against reckless driving I don't really see the issue, and if it's a proximity thing then within what radius is a doughnut/burnout deemed disrespectful? This smacks of BBC yoghurt knitters forcing an apology where none was needed in order to deflect criticism.

    IMO Evans has made it infinitely worse with his comments. Could you ever imagine Clarkson publicly critisising May or Hammond for something like that? Again, to re-iterate, not that they would have done anything like that in the first place.

    The previous lot were relatively untouchable because of ratings and syndication income, just look at how much crap they (Clarkson) got away with before he eventually got sacked so they could basically say/not say whatever they liked. Anyway, this was probably all worked out beforehand, I'm sure Joey understands how PR works.
