My wife and I reckon he would have made a great teacher as well - no bunking off his lessons. Likable and informative, would have been a good 'replacement' for James May but as you say, the other business and personal life concerns mentioned could well result in something giving. He (and Mike Brewer and Sue Perkins) are certainly more likable than most of the new team on Top Gear...

Quite a backlash it would seem for the new series though, the series was reduced in the amount of episodes. No contributions from Evans/LeBlanc in the magazine is rubbing people up the wrong way as well. Rory and (the other) Chris are not bad, more like Fifth Gear I would say for those two guys. What I have seen from Sabine was not much cop, rather disappointing and the less said about Eddie Jordan the better. One thing being a bit zany for an edge but he hasn't got 'it'. Not going well for Top Gear.

Yes your right it was reported that Edd China did a bit for Top Gear albeit behind the scenes but he is very informative.
I hope the hosts replaced and somebody with more confidence takes the place. For SL64 I hope it stays for you although as you said the current set up won't be the same as Clarkson's.
