I mean really, how many more years did people think top gear had with the current hosts?

Jeremy is only 54....
James is 52 and richard is 45.

If I have Jeremy Clarkson money and cars at 54, or even 52. You better believe i am retiring.

Their age has been showing the past few seasons as it is.

UK media reporting that he has been fired, and Virgin Radio DJ Chris Evans as the Shows replacement Host...

What an absolute disaster!

Jeremy is a very old and tired looking 54 year old man.

Looks like its a done deal

[killramos]

Well i doubt i will watch the show without Jeremy one way or another...

Top gear was never great for reviewing cars, it was pure entertainment. This is like firing charlie sheen from 2 and a half men all over again.

Exactly this.

Chris Evans is a serious gear head and been a popular radio host for many many years...he could follow in Noel Edmonds footsteps and be relatively successful for a short time.

I don't care if he is Fernando Alonso. He isn't Clarkson, he doesn't have clarksons style, humour, antics. He is different. i want the guy who is willing to be rascist and punch his boss in the face.

Ashton Kutcher is a great actor and comedian to. Look how that turned out.

The show is done.

I suspect top gear will bite the bullet from this one...

[shakalaka]

Well that's unfortunate....I am not interested in it anymore.

Dibs out.. The other 2 will likely walk as well. Its not the car reviews that brought in people.

Might not be such a bad thing though in the long run. If they sign to netflicks or a station where they can open the taps a bit more it could be awesome.

Netflix has a lot of product placement in their shows, not sure that would be the best place for someone who doesn't hold back when it comes to brands he doesn't like.

[MGCM]

Seriously BBC, this is a pretty much cut and dry case, make a fucking ruling already instead of dragging out the drama in some retarded vein attempt to increase website hits and boost ratings.

[schocker]

Well, won't be watching it again if it even comes back. Hopefully someone can get all three together again, netflix wouldbe a-ok in my books.

BBC insists they haven't made a decision yet:

Go to HBO instead of Netflix. Last Week show is hilarious because of it.

About 15 million people a year and 4 peoples choice awards would definitely disagree with you.

It was a solidly entertaining show with Sheen at the helm.

It's official now...
