I was watching TFI Friday last night as it happens. I hope he does something original with it, and makes it his show rather than just continuing as before. If he does that, and I'm sure he will (maybe that's what they were negotiating about) then it could turn out to be pretty good.
It might work; Evans acknowledges that he can be an utter twat at times, but at the same time it goes with having a larger-than-life personality.
It's something to do with the charisma that most other TV muttering rotters tend to lack.

I think Chris Evans is the only one that could pull it off out of all the candidates even then it's going to be a tough act to follow. Either of the Classic Car Show presenters should not be considered if he wants me to watch the new Top Gear.

No integrity these days. All about £££. Hope he crashes and burns, as he surely will.
I think he is a very good choice and I am sure he will do a very good job, I may even start watching it.

Might work, if, he can keep his family stories out of the programme,turned me of the breakfast with home stories about Tash,Noah etc, I will wait to proved wrong, although it will Al hinge who are the sidekicks.

But he's such an annoying little irksome twat with a face that I would love to smack. I've listened to R2 in the mornings and god but he just utters dribble!
He's not:
funny
clever
interesting
insightful
Clarkson (like him or loathe him) said what he wanted; he was anti most things and this was his appeal. Evans will want to be everyone's friend FFS.

Given the BBC's requirement to demonstrate 'PC', equality and diversity, the other presenters will surely have to tick-the-right-boxes?
So my guess, it will be Blue Peter style multi-cultural threesome; in addition to the pasty-faced gin'er, there will be one presenter from an ethnic minority (very likely a female), and another with some form of physical disability.

Whilst he acknowledges it he does nothing to change it, almost as if acknowledging it makes it alright
