The presenters are all idiots but I watched... The film locations and cimatography were outstanding.

I know this will never happen...but I nominate Chris Harris to take Jeremy's place. The chemistry with the other two might not be the same but Chris deserves a chance.

Would be awesome. Not sure the balance would work with CH as front man though. Maybe that could be Hamster.

...except he has had no success on his own (neither has May). It is really pathetic how low he has stooped...now hosting one of those home video shows featuring Darwin Award candidates.

BBC had no choice. Seems obvious to me JC wanted out. Hopefully they will be back somewhere else, and the next version of the show is not as over-produced as the recent TG seasons...

If you want a Car Show then watch Auto Week.

Its the best show on TV, but it's light entertainment loosely tied to cars. I think it has 350 million viewers globally - I think Clarkson will be missed and Harris is better suited to a show like Fifth Gear.

IMO, they should try to land Atkinson, but might be too much money.

It was time for the show to be wrapped up. Imo, the content had been heading downhill for a while. That included he current season. I think the BBC needs a different car show and format and one where the likes of Chris Harris are presenters.

It's better to burn out than to fade away. Oops too late for that, long live 5th gear.

Bloody hell, I'd be honored if Jeremy Clarkson punched me in the face!

Sad to them dissolve, their chemistry was so great.

Fox is my odds on favorite to pick them up - sure Rupert is already sitting down with them.
