It is with some level of self smugness I see Jody Kidd is being lined up as part of the new team. We will see the return of a degree of glamour to the programme. I used to think that VBH was HOT! :>)

Well it seems the presenters formerly known as Top Gear are to make a show for Amazon Prime. For myself, I won't be following them to the new viewing option. Amazon is an American owned company run along commercial lines, and no matter what anyone claims - the boys will have to bite their tongues and button their lips. Commercial interests will see to that. Imagine Monty Python being attempted under one of the big TV networks in the US, and you have an insight into the future of 'Amazon Top Gear'. Not good..... :>(

I think we're running into premature inclusions. Yes Amazon is America, and we all know Americans can be somewhat guarded and lacking in expression, BUT Amazon Prime is somewhat different, edgy if you like. Let's wait and see what comes fourth first...

I'll wait to weigh-in until I see an entire season. Any show on "cars" is great to me ;)

If they want to even come close to the charisma of the last three, Chris Harris is a must. Where is he.
