Sundew Posted March 24, 2015 #101 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Anyone who decides work arguments with fists has run out of favours. Top Gear can do without him. Br Cornelius Hey, at least he didn't run over the producer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted March 25, 2015 Author #102 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Jeremy Clarkson dropped by BBC after damning report into assault on producer The BBC announced on Wednesday that it has dropped Jeremy Clarkson after the Top Gear presenter attacked a producer who as a result required hospital treatment.BBC director general Tony Hall said he took the decision to end Clarkson’s BBC career “with great regret”, 16 days after he was suspended following a “fracas” with a member of the Top Gear production team, but said the presenter had “crossed a line”. // The question now for the BBC is what happens to the other Top Gear presenters Richard Hammond and James May, both of whom have presenting commitments on the BBC outside of Top Gear. The Top Gear trio’s contracts run out next week. Negotiations for new deals with May and Hammond have been put on hold during the investigation. http://www.theguardi...ar-contract-bbc They will come back outside the BBC, all 3 in a row, of that I`m sure.

Are you going to keep saying that until they listen to you?Actually they were saying today that Boris Johnson', who's effectively the bumbling-buffoon-persona of politics in the same way that Clarkson is to TV comedy, is hotly tipped as the next PM after Cameron is given the elbow, so that'd be the next best thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job there aren't more pressing matters in the world today, allowing us all to remain well informed on this vital global issue... I had Sky on when this news broke. You want to hazard a guess at what story they were about to report on that they then cut into it with the woes of Clarkson? Yep, you guessed it. They were going live to their reporter at the landing field for the search teams for the crashed aircraft. A bloody TV "star" warrants more attention than a downed passenger jet. Makes you wonder about the bloody priorities of our media... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewinn Posted March 26, 2015 #125 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Well the BBC took the easy way out, They dropped him from the show, but never fired him. his contract expires at the end of March so their going to let it run out. So the incident WASNT deemed serious enough to terminate his contract. The BBC needs to understand Top Gear is Clarkson, May and Hammond. I'll follow them to whichever TV channel/company takes them on. The BBC made me laugh, when they stated Top Gear will continue, with new presenters. Yes, knowing the BBC the New presenters will most probably be made up of one legged, Gay/ Lesbian ethnic's. Because lets face it, the BBC is extreme left wing liberal. How many punch ups happen on a works night out, especially around Christmas and all the office parties. You'd have dole queues as far as the eye can see. - If everyone involved was sacked. There is a funny set up with the show though, 50% of the rights are owned by BBC World Wide the commercial arm of the BBC. there are rumblings, they are going to continue with a partner firm, an outside firm. which means the show could continue to be shown world wide. but us in the UK would have to rely on it being shown on a commercial station. - Personally i'd tell the BBC where to go, Top Gear makes £53million a year. it can sustain itself without the BBC. Whatever happens now, The trio will be back, and the show will probably be better for it, not constrained by BBC red tape. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
