Yeah, very sad - I was a little surprised that Top Gear didn't make a little more use of her over the years after that famous item; as an occasional guest presence she would have been a nice (and amusing) ego-deflating counterpoint to the very blokey, British energy.
- pwarner 6y agoShe could have been a main presenter for sure.
- injb 6y agoShe definitely appeared again at least once. I think it was the stunt they did with the double decker buses.
- robotnixon 6y agoIt was after the Clarkson/Hammond/May era, but she was a host for a few years on the show
- mellosouls 6y agoI didn't know that she'd been a regular presenter; I stopped watching after that era - but I'm glad she was eventually part of it in a more central way.
- Hamuko 6y agoShe wasn't really a "regular presenter". After the trio left, they basically had a rotating cast of presenters, of which she was one of. But the show got absolutely pummeled by the critics.
- flurdy 6y agoOnce they got rid of Chris Evans, the show recovered somewhat. With Mat LeBlanc, Flintoff etc. Though not back to the Clarkson stratospheric viewing figures, but I really liked the LeBlanc seasons.
- MarcusE1W 6y agoI think on Sunday the BBC will show a TopGear Sabine special
- sandworm101 6y ago>> ego-deflating counterpoint to the very blokey, British energy. Comedy isn't math. Counterpoints look good on paper but Clarkson understood that counterpoint quickly becomes compromise. Adding a female presenter would also be dangerous. The image of three oldish guys chasing a younger female around a track, or across europe, would be dangerous. Top Gear doubled down on the blokey behavior and that lack of compromise made the show what it was.
