What Top Gear needs in order to restore an iota of credibility and relevance to society is a female presenter, preferably from an ethic minority, who has an incredibly annoying voice, knows nothing about cars and lives in Maida Vale...

And actually makes it even more incredible that he thought he'd be able to find Chris, because, IIRC, Chris was not on facebook at the time, and has never put his photo on this site.

I try to focus on things that are real and affect me, not vent my spleen on made-up irrelevant stuff - ymmv... ;)

Indeed. Top Gear is not important. It will not save lives. It will not be involved in a massive invention, and it's unlikely to educate anyone or initiate massive social change. It's not intended to do any of that. It's a TV programme that is intended to entertain people. Nothing more, nothing less.

As with other such programmes, there will be changes from time to time. Whether it's a change of presenters or cast, a change of format, a change of broadcast time/date or even cancellation. It can be mildly annoying, but it's nothing more that that. Even if the show's cancelled, there will be other shows.

His dog hasn't even passed his driving test yet, Stuart. so I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how she's named after a brand of cigarettes. I just did.

What are you on about?

Never got the point of twitter and from what I've seen I'm not missing out on anything. I thought there were now laws in place to prevent this sort of stupidity, anyone that made or supported the death threat should be arrested and charged completely pathetic.
