The show is unnamed for now, but will be produced by long-running "Top Gear" executive producer Andy Wilman.

Following its reinvention in 2002, the BBC's "Top Gear" became the BBC's most valuable single asset, a programme sold worldwide that raked in millions for the corporation (which doesn't disclose exactly how much any given show makes). That all ended in March this year, however, when long-standing presenter Jeremy Clarkson topped previous controversies by striking a producer in a "fracas" over a sandwich.

Your loss, BBC.
