So it looks like the BBC will formally sack Jeremy Clarkson today over his recent behaviour and confrontation with a Top Gear producer.
Listening to Chris Evans this morning on the way to work, he categorically denied any claims that he is considering taking over and said he has no interest, quipping to all the journalists camped outside his studio that they might as well and go for a cup of tea
So is that the death of Top Gear, or is it now set to be reborn again?
I'd be surprised if they bring someone in to replace Clarkson and continue with James May and Richard Hammond, as their style and humour seems to be embedded and linked with the Clarkson style. But it's a massive show and a revenue earner for the beeb, so pity the poor writer who gets tasked to craft the replacement format
What do you think, will the beeb soldier on with My and the Hamster and try and replace Clarkson, or start again with a new format?
