BBC Micro-Management Of Top Gear Production Makes Host Threaten To Quit

In light of the latest events, it seems that Chris Evans finds it more and more difficult to revamp the Top Gear show. After stating that he can’t talk and drive at the same time and the funny episode from last week when, during a lap on the Laguna Seca, he threw up on the trackside, it is now said that Evans threatened to quit the show.

To blame for this drastic decision are the BBC chiefs who are always interfering, making the 49-year-old presenter very frustrated.

So I do not know who Chris Evans is, but two things really make me wonder. "Can't talk and drive", "threw up on a lap at Laguna Seca". This is a car show first and foremost. Micro-managing aside, how is he legitimately supposed to do this shows? I guess voice overs and stand ins are doable, but it just seems less.... engaged.

His stupid butt needs to quit and then they need to bribe Amazon to get their stars back. It's that simple. The BBC screwed themselves.

Apparently Clarkson didn't do many of his own stunts too, they were done by professionals
