    Top Gear how would you fix it?

    Another less than great review

    Top Gear reviewed by CHRISTOPHER STEVENS | Daily Mail Online

    then I saw this comment and thought hmm how would you fix the problem.

    BBC should ditch the formula and get the pairs from SOS and Wheeler Dealers in to fight it out against each other every episode.
    Now I quite like a bit of history showing pedigree combined with a decent review of the car, it might be nice to review a car someone other than SAS's imaginary hubby can afford.

    I think Edd China & Mike Brewer are rather fun despite not being into cars I love the show. Maybe get them to run it ? I'm still up for Jodie Kidd or Billie Piper to put on tight leathers & present.

    So what would you do?

    Get Hammond, May and Clarkson back. It is that simple.

      I think they are enjoying Amazon too much I'm pretty sure Clobber Clarkson never goes hungry, in fact most nights they are shown eating top notch grub.

        Phil Glenister is good - For the love of cars.

        I would get some hot crumpet in as well.

        MLB is out of his depth.

          I thought it was ok on Sunday. It made me laugh, which the previous series failed to do. I think they still need to relax a bit more though, especially in the studio. But at least they've got rid of that bellend Evans, and having 3 presenters is much better than the 7 or how ever many it was in the last series.

            Maybe it shouldn't be kept going just for the sake of it. Or let it lie a few years and bring it back.

              Never going to happen. Amazon are paying them millions, and their new show is a huge hit. You can't create or script the sort of chemistry they had, so I can't see the current TG lasting much beyond this current series.

                Leave it as it is for a season to see if the new presenting team bed in.

                It will always struggle as the format has been running for so long that all the interesting things to be done already have been!

                Maybe if the season doesn't work, take it out the back and shoot it?

                  The format was getting very stale even when they were still doing it.

                    I wouldn't bother. MLB is doing his best but he's playing a role, not his enthusiast self. Rory is annoying as hell right now but may improve as he settles down. "Let's Race" Harris thrashing a pointless car around a deserted racetrack is equally pointless and ultimately boring (hint: you don't drive racing cars like that anyway...). The Kazakhstan thing was tedious and too staged to have any meaning. Net entertainment value of Sunday's show was close to zero.

                    So basically, finish showing this series since we've already paid for it, then go away and think about what it is you're trying to achieve. As it stands it's lost its way.
