Last Friday, after much advertising, Chris Evans resurrected TFI Friday for one last bash. On Saturday, The Telegraph did an article on how people didn't like the excessive car stuff in it. In fact, they claimed "Audiences turned off by Chris Evans' lengthy Top Gear audition".
Hmm. Interesting.
Especially since, on more than one occasion on his breakfast show, Chris has ruled himself out of that job.
Besides, according to the Guardian yesterday, he would like to ressurrect TFI as a full series.
But that would be very impactful on his other commitments - his Radio 2 breakfast show and his Friday evening edition of The One Show.
I never really watched TFI Friday - the only five minutes of it I ever saw were a sort of mock poetry competition where a pretty girl was allowed to read out her poem then when a young lad tried to read out his, they had some guy come up behind him sticking his arm between the young lad's legs to put him off in "an amusing way".
I also didn't watch last Friday's show but apparently I would have enjoyed it for the same reason the Telegraph readers didn't. Jeremy was on it - so was Jason Plato - so was The Ferrari LaFerrari and the Top Gear Test Track.
And now they've given the Top Gear gig to Chris.
Maybe it was that or he joins Channel 4 and TFI leaving them with a hole in the One Show and possibly a bigger hole at breakfast time on Radio 2.
Or maybe he'll do TFI as well.
Evans overload. Evans above.
No news yet on his co-presenters. The Express were at least 33% wrong with their story on the new line-up. Whereas I go with my suggestion of Jason Plato to join Chris:
I
I think that could work. I don't know if Fifth Gear is still going since I don't have Discovery but I'm sure he could be prised away.
Actually - forget Chris - bring in Tiff, Vicki and Jason then Fifth Gear would need three presenters.
I know of three motoring show presenters looking for work.
