Matt Le Blanc to leave TG.

Jackson has done a load of Carwow/Carbuyer/Carinsertnoun vids and is pleasing enough on the eye...

I really liked LeBlanc and his presenting style and obvious knowledge

Time to put Top Gear our to pasture at this stage. ‘Next’ host will be 3rd choice ffs...

I liked Matt, I thought he was just starting to get properly settled into it in the last series.

Harry is great for car nerds like us but couldn't see the BBC picking him in a million years.

I think the BBC will be terrified to appoint anyone other than a woman

Yeah, hence my Jodie Kidd suggestion. Car nut, ex-racer, bigger name than someone like Rebecca Jackson.

I don’t rate Kidd’s presenting style though, when she was in that Classic Car Show on Five.

Henry C and replacing Rory with Jethro could be great, but obviously too car-focused for the BBC. Jenson would probably be an interesting choice, with enough star quality to keep up the ratings.

Of course, they may just can the show for a while...

[Coaster1]

What’s Mark Webber doing these days? I thought he’s quite good in front of camera.

But then the show will have two ‘car guys’ plus Rory, rather than a media guy, a car guy, and Rory in the post-Clarkson format.

[NotoriousREV]

Amen, brother.

While Henry and Harry would be bloody brilliant, they're not really high profile enough outside of the automotive world.

I suspect the BBC will want someone who is already famous, as well as a car enthusiast. Unfortunately that means that we may well end up with someone from Rich's list.

Though they did hire Kate Humble to host TG, when it was in the doldrums, and she admitted that she had no interest in cars!

Also, I'm not sure if Jason from Engineering Explained is serious with this tweet

Jason Dawe is waiting in the wings.

tbh - after MLB, I wouldn’t actually be surprised with some of them.

[JLv3.0]

I think Vin Diesel would actually be pretty good

[Carlos]

Jonny Smith must be in with a shout ?

As much as I'd like to see Guy Martin they ain't going to let him interview foreign a-list celebs

[Marv]

Robert Llewellyn would be good, but I don't think he'd be comfortable driving an internal combustion engine car!

[Richard]

I wonder if they could afford Jenson Button?

Seems chummy enough with Monkey already

[Swervin_Mervin]

Amen, brother.

It's worth repeating

[David_Yu]

That is a shame. MLB and CH produced some of the best TG ever.
Maybe the TG crew giggled too much about that scene in Episodes?
