We're announcing today that Chris Evans has signed a three-year deal to lead an all-new Top Gear line-up.
Chris Evans says: "I’m thrilled, Top Gear is my favourite programme of all time. Created by a host of brilliant minds who love cars and understand how to make the massively complicated come across as fun, devil-may-care and effortless. When in fact of course, it's anything but and that's the genius of Top Gear's global success.
“I promise I will do everything I possibly can to respect what has gone on before and take the show forward."
Kim Shillinglaw, Controller, BBC Two and BBC Four, added: "I am so delighted that Chris will be presenting the next series of Top Gear. His knowledge of and passion for cars are well-known and combined with his sheer inventiveness and cheeky unpredictability he is the perfect choice to take our much-loved show into the future. Chris is a huge fan of Top Gear and has great respect for the craft and work ethic of one of the best production teams in the world. He knows the phenomenal attention to detail it takes to make a single sequence of Top Gear, let alone a whole series. He is already full of brilliant ideas and I can't wait for him to get started."
Production on the new series of Top Gear will start in the next few weeks and more information will be announced in due course.
Top Gear is made by BBC Productions.

He is smarmy. He's a shining example of the fact that you can get a long way and make a lot of money without having any skills at all, not a modicum of talent and the personality of a houseplant.

Top Gear won't feel the same without the original presenters and I think a lot of people feel the same way. The ratings will be a mess

I like Chris Evans (I'm his other fan) but I don't think he is completely right for Top Gear, or not as good anyway.
What made the previous presenters good at it was they were entertaining, yeah, but they were also proper car journalists that knew about, and could speak passionately, about all kinds of cars.

It is officially the world's most widely watched factual programme.

:fan:
He is into cars though isn't he? I know he's not an actual car journalist but he's got a huge collection himself
Couldn't stand Jeremy or his 2 side kicks, so I have a show i can watch again

the appeal of TG was its anti establishment stance
Evans now is a celeb ***** establishment figure. He collects cars but that is not the same as what the previous TG team were.
and Jodie Kidd?
FFs :facepalm:
