Does this mean we may get to see Jennifer Aniston as a Star in a reasonable priced car?
I'm all up for that.
Was hoping Cheggers was going to get the job though.
Cheggers says stop!
?
So what you're saying is that when he's doing his job as a professional actor he's very good at it, but when he's not.....he's not. How does this worry you again?
Because he's being asked to do something other than act, something that requires personality, and from what I've seen he appears to have a deficit of it.

Hmmm.. if she does do it I'd rather watch "Call the Midwife" 😛
Does that mean no more non-reconstructed mantomimes? Bah.
It worries me because I believe presenting and acting require a different set of skills. I can't imagine Clarkson, May or Hammond being able to act for instance
Uh? Did you never watch Top Gear? I thought it was all a big act.

It worries me because I believe presenting and acting require a different set of skills. I can't imagine Chris Evans, Clarkson, May or Hammond being able to act for instance. Happy to be proved wrong, but I'd bet Clarkson would be in the Jeff Goldblum school of typecasting acting.

Yeah, I guess there are no transferable skills between acting and presenting. It's not as if there's any kind of precedent for this type of thing.

Well Top Gear has just made the BBC 1 news at 6pm.... Incl a small promo ad for it..!! 😆
I hope it works out better than that episode of Extras where he does a gameshow...
Anything that makes it different to the tired format that the 3 stooges were turning out in the last couple of years. Yes I still watched it for the odd good bit but they got rarer as time went by.
Think there's still another announcement or 2 to come, Evans will keep the pr machine whirring until the first show airs.
not looking good for a standout programe on bbc so far

Everyone that's never seen Top Gear, please leave the thread.
Why has Jimjam posted pictures of comedians and singers to try and argue that actors can become presenters?
When you are all saying about him in Actors, do you actually mean in Episodes? TBH, thought he was great in that.
Shit, I meant Episodes, not Extras.
1. How many million people are there in the UK?
2. Are those "talent scouts" at BBC so stooopid that they cannot give opportunity to fresh talents?
3. Are British people so short of talent they have to choose Chris Evans?
4. Apparently Chris Evans has a wealth of £60 million and yet BBC still want to give him more?
5. So BBC is trying to do the right thing ya? Give the millionaire more millions please ... how stooopid can you get?
I think a lot of people think Matt LeBlanc will be Joey on Top Gear, but as mentioned above, I've seen him interviewed a few times and he seemed boring and a bit prickly.
Chewkw, I'm not sure what it is that you drink, but can I have a [s]pint [/s] shot?
.....tired format
Can't believe it took eight hours really.
But well done, you win 🙂
amazing chewie wamts the bbc run as a socialist utopia, most odd 😕

Chewie does have a point!
The Americanisms creeping in already - clearly he should have written "tyred format"
I agree with Chewie..........
Chewie does have a point!
That's it. The final twinge of hope I was holding onto that the world hasn't degenerated into total madness, has just walked out and closed the door behind it.

😆 You bow! Then ask for forgiveness with offering ...
It does illustrate how the BBC is just like every commercial broadcaster, get in some big names and hopefully they will sell it - it seems to have lost its confidence in it creativity - the big question is how good will the scripts be - these were written by Clarkson in the past.

- these were written by Clarkson in the past.
Does that mean BBC have to plagiarise Clarkson?
Or does that mean BBC have to pay for the rights to use Clarkson's ideas or "intellectual property"?

My little lad did one of those in the softplay on Sunday. What was the question?

Yes Sir you are correct, I think I started that off.. I apologise and for my punishment I'll be watching The Claire Balding Show.
😕
I fear that the Beeb and the team may begin to take TG seriously when the whole point of the programme was to take the oiss out of itself and others
Do Americans get irony???
For your punishment you should watch Joey... Not sure it gets worse than that!

It gradually changed into piss-take top gear over many, many years. Evans has already said that he's not planning on continuing the Clarkson era format, so it could even turn back into a show about cars!
And that's what worries me!
Works for me, I enjoyed the car shows - although the Clarkson, Hammond and Jason days were a bit awkward
TG was tired true, but it went that way because car shows become dull very quickly. They should have just let it go, but imagination and TV and uncomfortable bed fellows.
Smacks of desperation to me, he's obviously a bit of a petrol head or he wouldn't have done well at the laps and he's done a bit of work with Tope Gear recently in one way or another but as said above it really seems like they've gone oh sh** we need to get a celebrity in, who's the most famous guy we know that can't get another job?
Do they need it? Who had heard of Hammond and May before they started on the programme? I just wish they'd taken a punt on some fresh talent or at least someone well respected that could bring some cred to the show. I'm hoping the Chris Harris rumours are true.
like a stopped clock being right twice a day... I agree with Chewkw ! 🙂 the beeb seems to be pointedly unaware that there are many people who could stand in front of a telly camera and be as successful as all the others, and lots of folk who want to, but to continue to rely on the same few faces and try to compete on wages with commercial broadcasters is crazy.
If the commercial stations want to poach beeb staff by outspending, go ahead because the supply and demand economics will provide an able replacement
Obvious is obvious innit?
Give millions to millionaires? Crikey ...
When we're talking about people in the entertainment industry, actors, musicians, etc, has it occurred to you how come they get all that money?
This isn't a trick question, the answer is pretty obvious.
Even for you...
Perrrraps we should nominate someone off here to be the third "member" ..
And your vote goes to...? 😆
Wca
chewkw of course - they need somebody mad
No one is going with an 'always stuck in second gear' gag then?
Huh...
