    Who's Vicky B-H?

    Well, I like it the way it is too. They seem to fool around too much but then again, what would Top Gear be without the fooling around? I generally would like more car reviews though. The self made limousines was hilarious!

    I don't understand their reasoning.

    Because one of them nearly died and they only had episodes of them dicking about they "accidentally" got a massive audience, therefore they should keep dicking about to maintain that audience?

    Why not kill a presenter every week then? That would seem the logical solution.

    What next; are they going to do a feature about 'planes one week and get a big audience, so become a programme about 'planes from then on?

    Following from the success of their Comic Relief special, Top Gear will now be exclusively about rock-bands?

    That aside, forget about VBH, get Jodie Kidd in.

    Easier on the eye, can drive properly, and doesn't sound like she's just eaten a packet of gravel.

    Sabine Schmit. And she's already doing a Top Gear-esque show in Germany.

    They need to review more damn cars and do more comparisons. Where was the 599 review in the last season? And didn't the new Clio Sport come out in England before it started?

    There is only one guaranteed, sure-fire way to save the show.

    Top Gear has finally reached it's Zenith in this iteration - they'res only so much malarky one can film before it starts becoming tedious.

    perhaps a slight return to the previous format - more tests?

    Agreed, let them be funny while testing cars like they used to, rather than trying to be an all-out slapstick comedy show which is becoming tiresome rather quickly.

    We start any venture with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before we empty the bag of luck.

    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I agree.

    ...and a big NO to VBH.

    A female journalist who does interviews for the BTCC coverage, and hosted Top Gear and now Fifth Gear, races sometimes, eats gravel.

    Her brother drove in the BTCC in 2004, but AFAIK, Vicky has not.
