    Nope, £100k for cheap publicity about him in an effort to keep interest up in him and his new Amazon show. Expect more over the next few weeks/months

    Peanuts.

    Can we expect every show to mention climate change, UK poverty levels caused by inequality and how Corbyn will shape the motoring future?

    "New" format to include

    Well spoken educated immigrant in a reasonalbly priced zero emmissions car adapted for quadraplegics.
    Cool wall - What will impress the lesbian vegan audience?

    The cool wall went a while ago.

    Good point. MlB is a big, big star. Even if Evans doesn't care, it would be weird if all the attention goes on someone else.

    Interesting. Taking it the other way around, how will Evans like being eclipsed by MLB's superior status ? For example, any guests on the show are going to want to talk to MLB, not Evans, fans will want to see MLB, will always be asking about MLB, want MLB's autograph, etc etc. Evans is known to have megalomaniac tendencies, will he snap...

    As somebody said above, it looks like a zoo format. Good on radio, but on TV?

    Chris Harris is a well known and liked car journo. He has also driven many of the worlds top cars (old and new).

    My understanding is MlB is very laid back so I think the issue will be getting him to do anything, not fearing he'll want to be in charge

    Anyway we'll just have to wait and see. When is it due to air, do we even know yet?
