+1 though I'm not sure how his thoroughly nice guy attitude would work in a program built around rivalry between the presenters...

Would improve the quality of the output from 'Build' Challenges more than a little!

I don't think he should be replaced. Just let the program 'die'. It was probably one of the most entertaining programs on TV today, and should go out on a 'high' instead of dragging on. I think their 'ambulances' was one of the most humorous builds they have done in a while, and I would rather remember the program as such rather than as three bickering old men wobbling around on sticks and Zimmers.

Aye, Jodie Kidd is awful on the classic car show; wooden autocue humour...

What I don't understand is what they'll do with the already-recorded last 2? episodes with JC and the others, will they have CE present them from the Studio?

I just can't see anyone else replacing them 'as they are' i.e. it's a bit like finding a new 'Two Ronnies' it's not possible. Top Gear under the new presenters will really need a change of direction, maybe it will actually be a programme about reviewing real life cars (like 5th Gear) in which case it would be interesting rather than entertaining.

I certainly won't be looking forward to the new format as it stands, CE is reportedly a really nice guy but to me I can't get past his arrogance and self importance he displayed back in the days of TGi Friday etc
