There is rumor Netflix taking over the Top Gear cast and renaming the show "House of Cars".

They're not wasting any time, I love that. Hopefully without BBC's shadow over it, it can finally be the show it always needed to be.

Latest news for the next season - on the BBC - is that it will be guest presented by a different person each show. It looks as though May and Hammond will be back. The BBC has form on this idea, and it has worked well (though not on a motoring programme) in the past. Could be quite interesting.....

As a date for the last Top Gear show Sunday June 28th is mentioned. I checked the slot times on BBC programmes and there is a still to be filled in gap of 2 hours and 40 minutes, so will be a long episode

Now it would seem there will be a whole new team presenting Top Gear. Chris Evans will be the anchor, with no details of anyone else as part of the setup. May and Hammond are not returning, so this is a clean sweep. I have serious doubts about this. However, it does mean the original trio can meet up again to work together for some other organisation.

It was epic! I had a good laugh about the classic cars (unfortunately it was all true). And yes I shed a few tears afterwards. Damn, I will miss this.
