looks like the 3 musketeers might move to a rival TV network...

I hope to god that happens. I don't see a problem with JC moving on, but the other two are question marks. Hammond might well move, but he already does other stuff for the BBC, so he might be worried about a non-compete clause (plus it really depends on the $$$ the other network is willing to offer him). And James May is even more of a question-mark. He may just retire outright or start teaching or whatever.

 

Keeping the dream team intact on another network would be the absolute best we can hope for.

SINGAPORE — Sources within MediaCorp have told CarBuyer.com.sg that Jeremy Clarkson is set to sign a multi-year deal with Channel 5.

The former host of TopGear will helm a car show in Singapore in an effort to capitalise on the runaway success of Channel NewsAsia’s Cruise Control segment, which is avidly watched by its two presenters.

While the entertainment industry is abuzz about the signing, a spokesperson from Channel 5 denied all knowledge of the deal, or of Clarkson’s existence. “I don’t know who or what you’re talking about,” said April Foo, vice deputy assistant to the public relations executive officer for the station.

"Whoever Jeremy Clark’s son is, he could not possibly compare with local talents like Tay Ping Hui, Christopher Fann or Tay Ping Hui. Nobody watches foreign programmes."

A source told CarBuyer.com.sg that Clarkson set his sights on establishing a post-TopGear career in Singapore because he believes the motoring culture here is perfect for his brand of high-octane humour.

"Jeremy hasn’t actually been to Singapore, but he’s heard that people there only drive cars costing £50,000 and up," says Joe King, a close associate of the curly haired presenter.

"Everyone there must be tooling about in Maseratis. I think Singapore would be his idea of Heaven."

He's quite a funny fella. But they definitely have to change the formula of the show.

At least loves cars, quick thinking and can talk a lot of rubbish if he chooses to. More importantly, who he will be teamed with and the format of the show.
