More Problems Brewing Around Top Gear
The previous incarnation of may have had its fair share of controversies, but one thing that it also had was the undeniable chemistry among the three hosts of the show. Like them or not, complemented each other perfectly and that played a huge part in Top Gear becoming the hit that it was until they left the show.

But next season is another story and the BBC needs to do a lot of in-house cleaning to address the growing number of controversies engulfing the show.
