Hmmm...hated Evans back in the day on the telly, but always enjoy what I hear of his Radio 2 breakfast show these days. I think the format here will be the interesting thing- will they keep any elements of the old TG at all? The Stig, for example? If so, does he still get the 'Some say...' introductions? Will they still film at Dunsfold and continue the lap times etc? If they try anything on the lines of the challenges, I can't help but think that three different people titting about will seem forced, as it does (to me) in the foreign versions of TG.
I also feel a little bit that any version of TG that follows Clarkson and Co. is almost duty bound to fail, before the show can truly move on- but that's probably just loyalty to three blokes (and the production team behind them) who entertained me like nothing else, for years on end. Whatever happens now it won't be the same, and for that, I am genuinely saddened.
