But only if the hosts get along and have some kind of camraderie. And most importantly, it has to be Neil’s show first and foremost, like Top Gear is Clarkson’s show.

I think the show will fail if it tries to mimic it too much, like Top Gear Aus. did, it doesn’t feel natural, characters as you said will be key however.
