Ratings don't matter. Top Gear is a bigger draw overseas now than it was under Clarkson. BBC keep expanding their coverage.

Having hosts drop out all the time does matter. Anything built is instantly lost and all of a sudden you're competing with Doctor Who with cast changes. Essentially having to soft reboot the show each time spells trouble with something like Top Gear. With ratings in the UK not really meaning anything its probably best to take the chance to establish a domestic host/s that see it as a long term project. Doesn't necessarily need to be a superstar host.

Not a fan of the guy but throwing names about, Jack Whitehall. Assuming he ever did get a licence. Then two semi serious blokes. Jenson Button, Ben Collins etc.
