I haven't been following it since the trio departed and I'm kinda glad about it after reading your post. I think like another OP says below, it's about time to put the show to rest. Frown | :(

That is, unless of course they can address the problems you've outlined and make it as interesting as it used to be.

It has a chance to improve now that Chris has left, but it will never be as good as the original. Just like the Aussie and US version which were never as good as the original but we're still Ok.

Original? The original was hosted by Angela Rippon in 1977 and various others, including Noel Edmonds, in subsequent years. The Clarkson/May/Hammond version was effectively a revamp of a revamp which avoided the trap of trying to be the same show only with different presenters.

I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

They show needs to go away. Only that will save it.

What is it with many people in sports and in TV/film industry that they do not realize it is time to go away?

So you don't watch TV yet still want the show to stop being made.

That makes sense.

Yes. It was silly of the BBC to try and revive it at all. Like many successful shows, it just happened to hit on the right combination of presenters and had a few golden years as a result. The original show with Quentin Wilson(?) as Swiss Toni was excruciating, it was the chemistry of Clarkson, May and Hammond that got non-petrolheads like myself watching it. Take that away and all you have is just another (very expensive) car show.
