Gears and Tours

The BBC have announced that Matt Le Blanc is returning as host for Top Gear, this is a sign that the BBC do not want to go for wholesale changes after the muted reaction to the relaunch. Chris Evans has been pretty much singled out for ratings going downhill even if he is without a doubt Radio 2's big star. With Evans departure you can pretty much guarantee there will be some changes in the show's  content.  And so what of Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow? The Grand Tour, the trios Amazon Prime has been given a late November launch with Amazon Prime offering reduced introduction fees, it is clear there is much interest in The Grand Tour. Though it should be noted that James May has not cut off ties to the BBC as he has made a number of programmes where he disassembled and reassembled mechanical objects.
