But, as has already been said, the current mould/cast/crew are/were working extremely well and making many millions of £££ for the BBC.
May and Hammonds contracts are due for renewal at the end of the current season.
If Sky were to offer a package to all 3 to start a new series, heavily advertised it and was made in similar fashion to the current Top Gear, I think it would do well.
Let's be honest, Sky's pockets are a lot, lot deeper than the BBc's so the potential is definitely there.

Sorry to disappoint you but Sky and Channel Four have stated they would not sign then [don't think bargepole was mentioned though]

I did read somewhere that Sky tried desperately to sign them two years ago but Clarkson and Wilman stayed loyal to the BBC, Someone will want them and it will just be rebranded.
The BBC had to make a stance but whoever replaces them all will have a very hard time because they cant win with the press, if they try the same format its just copying and wont be as funny and if it turns back to a serious car show then it will get slated for been boring.

Why does a programme need a revamp when it was clear its success and popularity was growing each series - surely that points to the current format working extremely well ?

That's actually not what they said. "No plans to work with..." is not equal to "we won't sign him."
Plans could materialise pretty quickly...

Is it impossible to improve on the current format..?
On the radio 4 this morning Richard Hammonds very close friend (forgotten his name but its on record with the programme) said he speaks with Richard daily and has stated categorically that Hammond and May will walk with Clarkson, plus he said that Netflix and Sky have offered "huge sums of money..." to take the three of them.

I wonder if Clarkson would have walked if it was Richard Hammond or James May in his situation?

BBC has just killed it's most successful tv show, they guy in charge should go. If anyone else in any other business killed their most successful product just on matter of principle they would be removed.
Jeremy Clarkson has always been an ass why is it suddenly a suprise

I actually think he would, He has enough money not to work again and I do believe he is loyal to them both.

Give this a read. It's Piers Morgan's open letter to Jeremy Clarkson. It's actually very sad. Tells of a man who was, according to Morgan, on the brink of a meltdown.

this a joke?
You condone 20 mins of vile (unprintable) language tirade, unprovoked, against a work colleague which culminated in a 30 second physical assault requiring the individual to attend a physician.

It is though, two knobend presenters (Clarkson and May) and a third who wouldn't look out of place on CeeBeebies.
They use The Stig too much, it's trite, predictable, oafish and about as funny as a kick in the nostrils.
Can you tell I'm a fan?
Good piece by Piers :thup:
Didnt know that Oisin Tymon is now being abused and threatened by Top Gear fans on social media, speaks volumes about the fans they attract.
