I'd go with Hammond, James is the butt of all the jokes.

Supposedly all a ruse based on James May having a doctor's appointment and he won't reveal why... so they're saying it's his last show as he's obviously terminally ill... usual Clarkson "on that bombshell..." nonsense I suspect!!

Another rumour... 2 guests this week. One James Blunt... oh come on - WHY??!! The other a (fairly handy behind the wheel) young chap hailing from Stevenage...

clarkson has just said on the radio that May had a hospital appt and wouldnt tell him what it was so he announced that may was leaving as it must be something terminal.

Nope. He was 0.1 seconds behind Mansell’s time, but Mansell did his in the dry whereas Lewis’ lap was on a very wet track which also had oil spills on it from earlier in the day!

Lewis did ask whether he could come back and try it on a dry day … should be interesting!

How about Cliff Michelmore or Fife Robertson of 'Wheelbase' fame?

I really miss an intelligent programme about cars/driving.
