Harry isn’t very good when he is reviewing modern cars though, he just doesn’t give enough shits about it.
How about not having a sig at all?

Should they replace him with another American?

I would do it....if I could remain anonymous

Sure, you seem pretty entertaining. I’m sure the anonymity issue can be solved easily enough

I'd like to see Jonny Lieberman from Motortrend get the job.

ITV have changed the production company for the IOM TT coverage. Craig Doyle (who did a pretty good job as the main host) has gone and has been replaced by Jodie Kidd :?

No more Steve Parish either :x

It would be nice to see Harris become the anchor rather than the goon and butt of Joey’s jokes.

However, does this cement Rory’s place for a while? That’s an unfortunate corollary if so.

Oh, and I’ll add Nick Grimshaw to the list of possible replacements because he’s finishing the R1 breakfast show. I doubt he even has a driving licence but that probably wouldn’t rule him out.

I’m still very upset by all of this. The show in previous years has been very obviously made by, and for, people who love and understand the TT. Now it feels like they’ve thrown that away.

Harry with Chris H and RR? I don’t think he’s be able to put up with the hyperactive ones for more than 5 minutes.

Guy Martin would keep the subtitle editors at the Beeb busy at least :lol:

JK too flouncy. James Martin would change SIARPC to SMOAFATC (revels to the first person who works that out).

Funny how much that doesn’t surprise me. That looks about as painful as listening to the annoying twat on the radio.

I thought Grimmy was just moving to the afternoon slot, not leaving the station altogether?

A pity. He came across as a genuine petrolhead. Chris and his chemistry seemed to be going in the right direction too.

Schmee next then :lol:
I've a few days holiday I could take from work in which I could fit in some filming commitments.

Just sayin'
Not sure anyone’s particularly interested a piece about how plush the C200’s dashboard is though?
I love it when Rich gets like this.

LeBlanc was just ok IMO. Too wooden.

Yes, just that shit unpopular show that paid him $1m per episode. Sorry - it's no driving a Skoda taxi in Scotland, I know.
My taxiing ended a few years back :). I like his presenting on TG, I just thought the description of him was a bit OTT.

Forum rules dictate that as you didn’t appear in Friends you’re not permitted to criticise his acting ability.

I think episodes was pretty successful as well.

It would've probably made more sense if the guy wishing him well said "he's just a shite actor, this is a mistake" though.
