Sabine would be a good inclusion to replace clarkson.

She gets on with Hammond and May and is a smartass.

"Philip Glenister, famed for his role as the politically-incorrect detective in Life on Mars, has become the new favourite to replace ousted Jeremy Clarkson as the new presenter of Top Gear.

Best known for playing rough-and-ready DCI Gene Hunt, Glenister has replaced Great British Bake Off host Sue Perkins as most likely to take on the role, according to bookies.

Odds have been slashed from 10-1 to 2-1 after the Sun on Sunday reported that the BBC is considering hiring the actor-turned-presenter.

The BBC declined to comment on the speculation.

Glenister is a vocal car enthusiast and is about to present the second series of For the Love of Cars on Channel 4.

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: “All of a sudden Glenister is the hottest name around.

“We hadn’t seen a penny for him before the weekend but in next to no time he’s the new favourite. Punters seem convinced that something is afoot.”

Simon Clare, spokesman for Coral, said it has slashed its odds from 10/1 to 2/1 for Glenister.

“We have seen a host of celebrities gambled on in recent weeks to take over from Clarkson and it is rapidly becoming one of the biggest novelty betting events ever”, he said.

Behind Glenister, Perkins is the next favourite at 4-1 followed by Dermot O’Leary, who recently left The X Factor, at 5-1."

This is possibly the only person i can think of who would actually be good and not just a poor jeremy clarkson substitute. He'll be good in his own right.
I hope he keeps top gear politically incorrect

There is a show on Foxtel Discovery Turbo that I have watched with 3 or so hot chicks doing performance mods to muscle cars and run of the mill rides. They seem to do well so it would be a nice change to see chicks presenting a Top Gear or equivalent.

Philip Glenister would be interesting.

He is a good actor and he recently had a show on the ABC called 'For the love of Cars'. He has passion for them.

Re Phil Glenister

Series 2 For the love of cars is screening in the UK April 18.

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/for-the-love-of-cars

this means we will probably get it towards the end of the year.
I hope the ABC do a better job of screening it consistently this time.

Jeremy who?
