although a fan of JC I do think it is time for re invention. For me this latest series was getting tired. A few of us have moaned about how poor some of the stuff was for instance the ambulance and the peugeot items. This in some respects may have been a escape plan for all three as they perhaps were feeling the same. Time for new blood for the BBC and time for new ground for the trio.
One thing they wont have if they do all move is the freedom to say and do what they like, they wont be able to be as impartial as they were. The BBC had the sole right to do what they liked as they weren't answerable to commercial breaks and the car manufactures who pay to advertise on a commercial channel. If they slagged of a car, you can bet the manufacturer will be pulling its adds of the station or thinking twice about advertising on the channel.
