Top gear (now with more Chris Evans)

[zildjian]

So Evans has signed up for three years of heading up the TG supposedly without Hammond or May.

'Top Gear is watched by some 350 million viewers worldwide and is one of the BBC's biggest shows, with overseas sales worth an estimated £50m a year.'

worldwide audience but maybe the team had become stale not overly a fan of Mr evans though

I can tolerate Evans, although he's pretty corporate these days - I preferred the wild character.
Anyway, hope it sells well as the revenue help keep the licence fee stable.

The brand continues of course and it would be foolish of BBC not to at least try and keep it wobbling on, Evan's would appear their obvious choice,
popular, likes cars.


Certainly can't think off-hand of another although I find his name dropping on a truly Zildjian Whitely level these days
and given the amount of times he drops "I was saying to Bernie Ecclestone" into his morning show it could just become another advertising stream for F1/the one show

(god knows they need the help)
