This gives the BBC the opportunity to revamp and re-invent the show. After all the basics haven't really evolved since 2002. Many parts of the show still worked, but some of it may have become a bit stale at least to UK audiences who have been watching since 2002, even if it remains fresh to the more recently franchised countries.

The presenters are just a part of the package. I suspect they were struggling sometimes to come up with new ideas of how to put three idiots in beaten up cars and somehow make those stunts seem fresh when inevitably the challenges became repetitive.

Yes they were amusing but even so the presenters as a team were starting to show their age - Clarkson has previously complained about all sorts of back troubles - and one wonder's how long they could keep up the physical punishment of bounding around in rutted unmade tracks.

What parts of the show really work, but should others get dropped? For example inevitably I'd record and fast forward the star in a reasonably priced car as I wasn't really interested in another chat show promotion thing, even if it had a slant to it.

Is even the studio and track location at Dunsfold still right?
