Can you expand on why it's filthy?
I found Top Gear dull and predictable, but I'm not interested in cars. It does, however, make stacks of much needed money for an ailing BBC. It won't ever be scrapped. Neither will trash such as X Factor, which really is filth and sets out to humiliate people. |

Chris Evans has just signed a 3 year deal to deal a new Top Gear line-up. |

One egomaniac replaced by another. No surprises there. |

Right, we've already established Jeremy Clarkson is guilty of evil crimes and should be hung until dead and then shot.
But Chris Evans an egomaniac? He presents a radio show, which I've never heard. Do you expect a shrinking violet?
It's the old British disease. Someone's more successful than you, so he must be a bad guy. Pathetic. |

Dear Hod,
Someone's more successful than you, so he must be a bad guy. Pathetic."
Reminds me of the teacher that, as the coordinator, I had to remind again and again of the right way to enter grades (he kept doing it wrong).
He said I was picking on him because he was British. I relied that I didn't care if he was Martian; I was "picking on him" because he was an idiot.
Maybe his being "successful" isn't the reason for the rancor - but I suspect you already knew that was an illogical claim.
Regards,
John |

1. Pictures, Christmas decorations, etc, are hung, whereas condemned criminals are hanged.
2. My negative opinion of Chris Evans is based on his antics whilst he was the host of the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Follow this link for details:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Evans_(presenter)#Radio_1_Breakfast_Show
3. As I've never been a radio or TV presenter, there seems little point in comparing me with Chris Evans, or any other presenter for that matter. I certainly don't envy him his success; I'm happy with what I've got.
4. The English (not British) disease consists of putting people like David Beckham on a pedestal and taking delight in knocking them off it. Now that really is pathetic. |

Have they fixed a date for Clarkson's execution yet ? I would like to come and watch. |

They should have picked the person who got around the the race track in the quickest time and of course made them pay an obscene amount of money for the chance to get the job!
Anyone would be better than that gina Evans! |

I hope the ratings are poor, and the whole show sinks into oblivion...
Hate, hate, hate! |

It's started, and can I just say I've never been so bored since my last TEFL conference. I'm not even interested in cars, but I sometime watch repeats of the real Top Gear as the banter between the three presenters is watchable and even funny at times.
But Chris Evans and this nobody who was apparently in a US comedy called Friends decades ago is a sorry pairing, boring.
All those people, including those on here, who applauded Clarkson's dismissal should be forced to watch every episode of the Chris & Whoever Show for as long as it lasts. Clarkson may be a racist (really?), but he's over on Amazon Prime channel. and he isn't going away, unlike Chris & Whoever. |
