[Closed] Clarkson's Replacement -- Lets Speculate

Channel 5 could never afford them.

Viacom own C5 now, so they might be able to afford him... but they probably wouldn't want to (wrong demographic).

Sky apparently view him as a poisoned chalice and are not interested.

Would be good to see the BBC re-launch the show with all new faces and a less UKIP mentality. Maybe change the subject matter too. Make it about cakes or something.

Or cars?
I'd watch that.

Really? Linky?

Popbitch email, seemed like they had a good source.

Philemena Cunk backed up by Barry Shitpeas.

This needs to happen.

Ed China?

good call...

Rolf Harris.

The Great British Parallel-Park Off

I'd watch that 😀

Jay Kay, Alexi Sayle and Jodie Kidd.. for the new revamped TG. Sky to take over the old format in a new guise.

Third page, and no one's mentioned Coogan...?

On the first page

Can see why sky wouldn't want him, as popular as the series is the format is quite tired, he sounds like nightmare to work with, racist, violent drunk doesn't look too good on ones CV
and he's gonna be very expensive.

He has a close relationship with the Murdoch's and rebekjah brooks though so there maybe some involvement

Clarkson would last 30 seconds on a commercial channel before being sacked for pissing of the revenue. Weirdly he's only been on telly as long as he has because it was Auntie

Him and May will pop up somewhere doing something arse-ish, that doesn't involve product in any way Hammond will stay at the Beeb

Pip Scholfield with Ant and Dec.

I also suspect the Hamster will stay at the BBC. He is BBC through and through and has done other stuff for them. I think he has legs doing other shows as well [ not that he is my cup of tea].

I dont think Clarkson has been on tv becuase its the BBC, its more to do with the popularity of the show.

But why has no one mentioned Idris Elba, i havent seen a single recommendation so far that I would consider watching apart from Philomena Cunk, she is just sublime, especially medicine crisps

I think he has legs

Just short ones.

Not as short as a real hamster's, but still quite short.

Rob Warner could probably fit it in around his WC DH commitments.

He's been building up the TV experience with that FMX stuff.

But why has no one mentioned Idris Elba,

It would really require a shake up of the format. He comes across great on camera and having worked with him he's exceptional in a filming environment, but I've always thought he looks very uncomfortable in front of a crowd.

it needs a complete new format, i dont think anyone would do the job if it was the same as they would be pilloried

Clarkson is only comfortable infront of his crowd to be honest

It would be a very safe place to park Boris Johnson .

Jimmy Carr would be good from a piss taking point of view and seems intelligent enough to do the serious bits.

I know he has been on driving the Daewoo or whatever but no idea if he is enough of a petrol head to warrant presenting TG.

Nightmare scenario, James Martin.

Stephen Fry

Dermot O'Really has quit X Factor with links to TG. Dunno if he's petrolly.

Yeuch. Tim Lovejoy. Can you imagine?

Nigel Farage would actually be perfect.

Jimmy Carr

Jason Plato?

Jason Plato gets my vote purely for doing the custard test on PH

Javier Bardem

Bob Flavin.
