Everybody, we have some very big news! Yes, Chris Evans has signed a three-year deal to lead an all new line up for Top Gear.

And it's straight over to the man himself: "I'm thrilled, Top Gear is my favourite programme of all time. Created by a host of brilliant minds who love cars and understand how to make the massively complicated come across as fun, devil-may-care and effortless. When in fact, of course, it's anything but and that's the genius of Top Gear's global success.

"I promise I will do everything I possibly can to respect what has gone on before and take the show forward."

Kim Shillinglaw, Controller of BBC Two and BBC Four, said:

"I'm so delighted that Chris will be presenting the next series of Top Gear. His knowledge of and passion for cars is well-known, and combined with his sheer inventiveness and cheeky unpredictability he is the perfect choice to take our much-loved show into the future.

"Chris is a huge fan of Top Gear and has great respect for the craft and work ethic of one of the best production teams in the world. He knows the phenomenal attention to detail it takes to make a single sequence of Top Gear, let alone a whole series. He is already full of brilliant ideas and I can't wait for him to get started."

Tim Davie, CEO of BBC Worldwide, said: "It‘s fantastic news for Top Gear fans around the world that such a brilliant broadcaster as Chris will be the figurehead for the brand across the globe."

We can also confirm that production on the new series of Top Gear will start in the next few weeks.

Huge car man alright but has a huge ego aswell, time will tell if he is any good and depends on who his co hosts are

Clarkson, hammond and may starting new year show on rival channel apparently
 
I wonder who will co present with him. Wonder if they will do more than three actual car reviews a series?

i think it is a good choice to bring in mr evans . shitty situation but hopefully it will work . and by work , i mean come on top gear please get rid of all the silly BS and give us petrolheads a proper car show to rival or even eclipse 5th gear . this is your chance to re-create the brand .

although the other 3 lads were good , i think alot of joe soaps will have forgotten about in near future unless their show is a hit and easily accessable
 
I'm going to throw Plato into the mix as co-host.

He appeared on TFI Friday last week as the Stig - I don't think new Top Gear will keep the Stig format as they need to be 'somewhat' original so Plato will set the lap times.
 
Probably Jodie Kidd as number 3. Never liked Evans. Could never listen to him or watch him for too long. Even TFI got switched off because I couldn't listen to him talking throughout the lap.
