Now that Satan's ambassador to the Court of St Portland, Archdemon Chris Evans, has jumped from the leaky ship - presumably intending to front the now-commercialized Channel Four Bakes Cakes For England - we're told that his American underling is to be put in charge for the next couple of years.

Matt LeBlanc handed £1.5m to front next two series of Top Gear

I have, surprisingly, heard of him before. I was once forced to watch a cinematic remake of Lost in Space, which I only agreed to sit through [1] because it had the inestimably magnificent Gary Oldman in it. Mr LeBlanc played the part of an oversexed ego-inflated US fighter pilot. He appeared to have no acting skills whatever so presumably the description fits the chap except he can't in real life fly a plane. [2]

If anyone else has heard of him they might like to add an exclamation of disgust at what the BBC are doing with their terrestrial channels. By all means bring The Archers into the thread too.







[1]: I only got as far as when they avoided the Sun by hyperdriving through it, at which point I walked out.

[2]: The flying a plane bit is only a guess on my part.

Actually, I did watch one program with the replacement presenters and I couldn't stand that ginger headed idiot who is right up himself. That other fella Matt on the other hand, to a woman's eye, is quite dishy and could attract more women viewers. I'm afraid I doubt I shall watch it though as I have been spoiled by that idiot Jeremy and the other two nuts. Regardless of how many folk thought Jeremy C. was a pratt of the first order, he dd present an entertaining program and commanded a decent quantity of viewers on a regular basis. Clarkson's Top Gear was a unique program, and I doubt that it will ever be as successful again, whoever takes over the presenter's job.

I would watch his program again, only he's now with Amazon or some such, and I think I am unable to watch the Amazon channel, as I have only the basic terrestrial channels and Freeview.
