Chris Evans brought Freddie... old LOTUS |
Clarkson Finally got the P45 |
After many weeks and months there is finally clarity on what will happen to the favour Trio of whom left BBC2 Top Gear after Clarkson finally got his real P45 and Chris Even (not the Hollywood star) the new BBC2 Top Gear Presenter, will he also get to design his own P45 or will the new show be better than ever before. The explanation to what a P45 really is
Speculation is mounting that Jeremy Clarkson's new Amazon Prime show be called Gear Knobs, after it was discovered a trademark application for the cheeky title by Clarkson's lawyers, Olswang.
The application was made a fortnight before the former Top Gear presenter announced a deal worth a reported £160m ($390m AUS) to make a new series with Amazon. It was filed through a shell company, which has also registered the title "Gear Nobs".
A third title ‘Speedbirds’ was also registered by the lawyers. It was wondered if this name could be new moniker for ‘a Stig-like character’ in Clarkson, Hammond and May's new show. The filings mean the titles can be used for TV shows and merchandising.
The Top Gear brand was worth an estimated £150m ($365m AUS) a year in sales to the BBC through a lucrative combination of live shows, DVD sales, and all manner of branded merchandise, including Stig bubble bath and Top Gear birthday cakes.
However, the risqué names may not be what Amazon has in mind. Although the applications were made in the middle of July, at the end of August the company’s boss Roy Price said the team were still struggling to find a name for the show.
Jeremy Clarkson may be enjoying an extended holiday, but details of his forthcoming car show for Amazon Prime continue to leak out via his co-host Richard Hammond.
Hammond is currently doing the rounds promoting his other new show, which coincidentally happens to be about the Amazon rainforest, Richard Hammond's Jungle Quest.
Meanwhile, the new host of Top Gear, Chris Evans, revealed that work on the revamped BBC2 programme is now underway.
Evans recently took the entire cast and crew for a boozy night out at his local pub in Camden, but swore them all to secrecy about what the new show would be like.
That was until the new BBC2 Top Gear team ran out of creative gumption. Then they headed straight downstairs to the bar and continued on with the ideas session.
As well as having some drinks, the team managed to do some work, according to the 49-year-old presenter.
To come from the night was a new running order for the new Top Gear which was then pasted to the office wall before they all become to plastered themselves. further information on the exiting Top Gear Trio
