Question

I've heard Stephen Fry and John Sargent mentioned, but who do you think should replace AD in this most important () role?

No, Nick Hancock's a good call.

Or Jonathan Woss. Or Stephen Fry.

NOT Clive Anderson. Anybody but him...

No, not nick hancock (there's an appropriate name), not Woss as he loves himself too much...

My vote is definitely with Stephen Fry, though he might not suit the character of the programme. Only time will tell...

Please not Ross... that would ruin it. Stephen Fry would be good though.

Cool

Stephen Fry suited the program just fine when he was a guest, so I can't see why he wouldn't work well as the host.

Ben Elton might be a good choice too.

I actually think they should try a different 'guest' presenter every episode, think it will be evident immediately when they find someone that works well..

Stephen Fry - Intelligent, witty and NOT in love with himself, quite the opposite.

Otherwise Clarkson

I reckon Will Self would fit the bill, he was wasted on Shooting Stars (probably in more ways than one)
