The BBC’s director general has said he hopes Top Gear’s “edge” and “sense of danger” will continue when the show returns with Chris Evans hosting.
Tony Hall said he was “thrilled” Evans was replacing Jeremy Clarkson, who was sacked after punching a producer.
He also said he hoped the new Top Gear would appeal to existing fans and bring in people who were “put off by part of how the programme was in the past”.
