Clarkson replaced by Evans on hugely popular Top Gear

Hindustan Times  

Broadcaster Chris Evans is to replace Jeremy Clarkson as lead presenter of the BBC's hit motoring show Top Gear, the corporation announced on Tuesday. Clarkson was dropped from the madcap "Top Gear" programme, which has 350 million viewers per week in 170 countries, after he punched a producer in the face in March. A BBC spokeswoman said Evans' co-presenters would be announced "in due course", with production of the new series starting in the next few weeks. The British Broadcasting Corporation's commercial arm BBC Worldwide earns around £50 million a year from "Top Gear".
