Will not be watching!!!! Well done BBC, I bet Clarkson fell off his chair when he heard that with laughter that finally subsided into one of his wheezy smokers coughs :lol :lol

Does he even know what "Top Gear" refers to? Thought most septic tanks just stick their cars into D.

Hell, maybe he can talk and drive at the same time though? Without getting motion sickness.

[clivvy]

I find this unbelievable.

I mean this guy isn't very well known, and ok, maybe he likes cars I dunno, but he isn't regarded in the UK as anything to do with cars. He's just that bloke that was in Friends.

an absolute joke.

[emjaybee]

As I like fuelling fires...

He's been on Top Gear quite a few times both doing the "Star in a reasonably priced car" and a couple of other features too.

I'll give it a chance, obviously it's not going to be the same level of buffoonery as Clarkson/Hammond/May, but I think they were getting a bit stale towards the end. Comparisons are going to be futile.
I quite enjoy Chris Harris's work and think that he and Sabine would have been good for Top Gear, and I'm obvously happy that, mi amigo, The Stig is staying.
It's a tough act to follow.

Who?

[elty001]

Was in the most unfunny US sitcom ever called friends.
:eek::eek::eek::lol

[Paultrol]

Well they got a tit for the g-ingers, a Joey for the female persuasion. Who they got for us kids?

[don simon]

As he's not the obvious choice, I wonder how many and who rejected the Beeb's approaches before they got to Joey.

[jims-terrano]

I reckon this will possibly be the last series, the previous formula just worked and I doubt the presenters will create the same atmosphere. Didn't they announce that Sibbine Smitt (sorry for the spelling) was on there too.
