Top Gear RIP

The BBC is pinning its hopes on keeping alive its most financially successful TV show on Chris Evans, seen here with his bodyguards or maybe BBC executives. Following the sacking of Jeremy Clarkson for biffing a producer (troops are not allowed to biff officers; a cenury ago he would have faced a firing squad) and the resignations of co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond, Chris Evans got the job of driving Top Gear into the ground (CLICK). Evans may be a millionaire petrol head with a fleet of Ferraris, but he's also one of the most egotistical and irritating BBC presenters. Homer Simpson would have been a far better choice.
