According to the website there's also a new member joining the Top Gear team. Though it's worth noting that last time it turned out to be Top Gear dog, so it could be anyone or anything.


What happened to Top Gear Dog?! S/He just sort of stopped appearing as far as I can remember...

Richard and Captin Slow said on the Chris Moyles Show, that the new team member drives, in a way that no one else on the show and they will be semi-regular.


Couldn't be a crash test dummy could it?

I guess that's quite possible as the website episode preview reads...

James will be introducing a brand new member of the Top Gear family, before stepping smartly aside so they can make their mark on the show with an incredible feat of daring-do.

Perhaps the Stig has got married?

A Female Stig to be the new face on top gear? Wink Laughing

Slightly off topic.

Jeremy's mum was on BBC WM on Friday, apparantly she had something to do with Paddington Bear!

Les Ross asked her, 'Do you have to apologise for him?' Laughing

<pedant> Her real name is Top Gear Dog, but that's a bit unwieldy, so she's generally called "TGD" ("tee-gee-dee"), or simply "TG" ("tee-gee") by Hammond. </pedant>

It should be interesting to see the new series tonight. The thing that makes Top Gear such a successful format is that it's so flexible, so the format will work equally as well if an animal (for example, TGD) or a new Stig is introduced. To be fair, the white Stig's essentially the same as the black Stig, but I doubt it will do damage to the format when the new Stig-like character (mentioned in this week's Radio Times ) is introduced.
