How about a funny wildcard like Louis Theroux or Derren Brown? That'd be a laugh =) Or some comedy like peter kay, lee evans or dara o'briain images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Lets have some Olympic stars - I'd enjoy seeing Jeremy argue with Chris Hoy about cycling

Looks like we may get one of them....

'Top Gear' will open its doors to Adlington
By Amol Rajan
Saturday, 23 August 2008

Having left the opposition trailing in her wake in Beijing, Britain's Olympic heroine Rebecca Adlington will swap her swimming costume for driving overalls with an appearance on the BBC's Top Gear.

In an interview with The Independent, the 19-year-old winner of two gold medals said she would love to go on the show and appear on Strictly Come Dancing. The executive producer of Top Gear was quick to say he would like to have her as a guest.

Adlington said: "I'd absolutely love to do Strictly Come Dancing. I don't dance at all but I watch it every time it's on. It's just the best programme on television. I never missed an episode in the last series when Alesha [Dixon] won. It's one of those shows that I actually miss when it's not on. It's just the best."

When it was suggested that, now she is the most successful British female swimmer ever, she could probably appear on the programme if she chose to, Adlington said: "Oh my God! That would be unreal. I've heard there's been an invitation to go on A Question of Sport but Strictly would be something else."

She added: "Do you think I could get on Top Gear as well? I'd love that. I think Jeremy Clarkson is really funny. I've read his books and everything. Do you really think I could?

Andy Wilman, the executive producer of Top Gear, said he would arrange a studio visit for filming – and, presumably, a run-out on the race track in the show's celebrity competition, Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car.

"She's a fantastic British hero, like Ellen MacArthur and Ranulph Fiennes, and we love that on Top Gear," said Mr Wilman.

You cant beat Frankie Boyle, even though his humours a bit dark its still brilliant

If they stick to couples, they should pick people who would rather commit suicide than lose to the other person. I'm thinking of Gordon Ramsey vs Jamie Oliver, Simon Cowell vs JK.

Jeremy won't be able to understand a word Brian says.

I'd be happy to offer my services as a translator images/smilies/biggrin.gif

As I was inspired to suggest in another thread but thought it worth a mention here......

Jackie Chan.

Also in case noone has suggested him, Clive Owen, plus anyone past or present who has played James Bond except perhaps for (alleged) wife-beater George Lazenby. I reckon Moore (my least favourite Bond I must admit) would actually be very funny as he likes to send himself up. Connery would almost certainly be the oldest SIARPC if he were to go on, and Dalton could talk about some of the stuntwork he did himself as Bond especially as TG Stunt Man wears a Living Daylights jacket.

Discuss... images/smilies/cool.gif

If she goes on, I hope Clarkson outs her for being in a horrid final film. My hardcore fan-girl X-File persona was ruined after that.

Couldn't agree more

Hugh Laurie. Especially since they've had Stephen Fry on already.

Although I'd have to say it'd be a bit of a waste if they had Laurie on and we didn't get to see him and James have a discussion about motorcycles.

Yes! Forgot about that! The only time I'd seen Laurie rant about motorbikes was on Leno. And even that veered into "...But House can't ride motorbikes, right?" images/smilies/dry.gif

Thom Yorke. Seeing Jezza pick on Thom for owning a Fiat Punto would be fantastic.

That and imagining a member of Radiohead doing a hotlap in a Chevy just makes me grin.
I'd even settle for Ed O'Brien or Jonny Greenwood if I had to.

Anyone agree?

That way when the guy in the Porsche pulls up next to you at the lights you can point in the back and say "Hey, mine works fine!"
