It would not surprise me in the least if the Beeb completely destroyed the Top Gear brand by meddling with the formula to make it more "friendly" and "multicultural" and "acceptable". I predicted as much back in January.

The revised version of the BBC Top Gear looks to have some potential because of some of the presenters but it's going to be shit because they will be trying to emulate the previous trio.

Chris Harris is an epic car journalist with a great youtube channel. Chris Evans is a hardcore petrol head with enough cash and connections to get the most awesome and rarest cars on the show and the guy who used to play in 'Friends' show is a comedy actor with many years of experience. The other two presenters don't look much to me, though it would be cool to include Tiff Needel from Fifth Gear.

But the BBC is not going to let them do their own thing in order to have an amazing show.It's like having one of those hyper cars like the Mclaren P1 and letting an inexperienced idiot to drive it.The cast looks promising but the director and producers are going to ruin the show.

I know. I was seriously bummed when the Bullshit Broadcasting Company fired Jezza. It was the end of the greatest TV show the world has ever seen.

I have high hopes for "Drive", though. It's basically the same crew of madcap geniuses, but unrestrained by the unwashed hippie Guardianistas that run the BBC.

P.S Fuck environmentalists and vegans
