We know since the Jeremy Clarkson debacle that saw Top Gear being cancelled that there was going to be somewhat of a riot.
And by riot we mean a lot of angry people who want the show back on the air.
So when one petition started to find a new host, we weren’t sure how people would talk it… until we heard the proposed celebrity replacement.
Alan Partridge. *Deep breaths*
For fans of the show, we all know Norwich legend Partridge could easily turn his hand to the BBC Two show, and it seems we’re not the only ones convinced.
Lorn MacDonald started a petition on Monday on change.org, which has already racked up 1,000 signatures.
Still need convincing?
The petition makes a pretty good case for the star:
‘Alan has a strong track record for broadcast presenting, from his relaxed professionalism with guests on BBC chat show Knowing Me Knowing You to his effortless banter on his talk shows at Radio Norwich.
‘He has good experience with motoring TV, after his brilliant work on ‘Crash! Bang! Wallop! (What a video). His work as sports presenter on news programme The Day Today also shows off his ability to talk about and inform on a range of topics.’

This could be the best move in BBC history…
