This is a very important petition for a very worthy cause.

To convince the BBC to hire Alan Partridge as the new host of Top Gear.

It is the work of the brilliant campaigner (and creative) Sophie Knox at Adam & Eve/DDB.

Sign, you know it makes sense! You CAN make a difference.

Also, you can play a new fun game ‘PARTRIDGE OR CLARKSON’ , an extract from which is below.

1. Exclamations:
A “Senbleedingsational!”
B “Absobloodyexactly!”

2. Birmingham:
A “The reason that people from Birmingham never leave Birmingham is because that’s the only place they don’t sound thick.”
B “If Einstein had been from Birmingham, no-one would’ve taken the “theorai of relativitai” seriously.”

3. Muslims:
A “Honestly, the burka doesn’t work. I was in a cab in Piccadilly the other day when a woman in a full burka crossing the road in front of me tripped over the pavement, went head over heels and up it came, red g-string and stockings.”
B “Never, never criticise Muslims. Only Christians. And Jews a little bit.”
