But The Stig was the only face left after they had to remove the presenters. That's the obviois default to fall back to in a crisis. A new producer of the show was appointed today, and I think new Top Gear will be totally different. She has worked with new presenter Chris Evans before on a couple of occasions, and they'll be brimming with original ideas. Evans is his own man and made his millions working closely on original formats. He's not going to be a presenter for hire. Aside from being about cars, and probably having a reworked version of the same theme tune, I expect to see a completely different show. Adam -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
