It’s the news Top Gear fans have been dreading – the show’s boss has hinted that the show is coming to an end as ratings continue to slump.
Andy Wilman, executive producer of the BBC Two programme, also said that he fears the series is turning into a cartoon because the presenters were playing up their on-screen characters too much.
He said: “There is a grumble and a rumble in the air from some of our regulars that we have lost the plot, we’ve disappeared up our a***s and we’re predictable.
His comments come as ratings for the current series fall to 5.5 million from a high of eight million two years ago.
New presenters – though I think May has his moments – ideally drivers who can present a bit rather than the current ‘personality journalists who can drive a little’.
More head to heads of cars we might actually buy
Retain the exotica so we can drool, maintaining the high quality photography.
An end to boring celeb in slightly less boring car.
And get rid of the drooling, sycophantic audience.
