BBC Two controller Kim Shillinglaw has admitted that she's both excited and terrified by the prospect of Top Gear being presented by Chris Evans.
Speaking at the Edinburgh International TV Festival, she also said that there would be significant changes to the show under Evans, who takes over from the departed Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.
When asked about the new season of Top Gear under Evans, she said she is "so excited and of course terrified".
But she added: "I really can't think of a person that better combines two things I think are really central to Top Gear: one is an absolute genuine passion for cars, but also being incredibly spontaneous, incredibly surprising.
"You don't quite know what's going to happen next. Watching someone who has that is always fantastic telly."
AS for the show's content, Shillinglaw said: "It's going to be different. There will be continuity, but it will be really different.
"Dunsfold is looking quite interesting, the presenter line-up is going to be a bit different. So there will be some changes to the show. It's scary but it's really exciting."
