Now, if any of us punched someone at work we would be fired once people confirmed what happened. IMHO, Clarkson should suffer the same fate so why do so many people laugh it up and want him back on the show?
As for political correctness bollocks that the BBC have been on about, that is Clarkson and the world needs to be less PC in my mind and have a laugh.
Sack him for gross misconduct but forget the rest.
Except they wont will they, they wont sack him as he is a golden goose for them with Top Gear in the current format being sold all over the world.
-
Sack the bloke "Oshien Timmen" for getting the dinner late,what was he thinking of.
Make top gear bigger,bring in bikes too :lol
-
Being on a last and final warning then punching someone does warrant the sack no question......but will the BBC keep him on as Top Gear is their biggest export and makes them tens of millions each year.
Its a difficult decision for the BBC to make as there has to be an example made after all his warnings and racist gaffs.........however, if one of my sales guys made me tens of millions and punched me....I'd punch him back and keep him on.

they have already got this weeks show in the can so show that one, then have 2 specials with guest presenter Chris Evans on one & Guy Martin on the other and see how the ratings for those compare against this weeks show!! simples!!
-
I think its a good opportunity to freshen the show up a bit. I like it, but Clarkson is a bit long in the tooth now and has been almost a parady of himself for a while now.
The show has become cliched and contrived, so a new presenter might be a good call.
-
Chris Evans :eek It would an hour of him telling us just how rich he is :z
-
Sack him he deserted his home town of Doncaster, erm maybe thats not a reason but he was complaining about motorbikes spoiling his peace and quiet near his posh house and said it's nothing a length of wire between a couple of trees wouldn't solve, I can never forgive him for that (and it has been done).

Absolutely agree.
I do like Top Gear but the bloke is an arrogant, pompous, up his own @rse tw@t.
Who the fcuk does he think he is ?
Good riddance I say.
-
Did I read once that clarkson is top gear and owns the company?
If so he'll take the show to the highest bidder!
Must admit I don't find it compulsive viewing anymore.
-
Didn't he have a pop at piers morgan a while back.....time he moved on, top gear has gone downhill this series, a new presenter could change all that, but who................ah, we have the answer right here....some say he makes his fazer dance, all I know is hes called PUNKSTIG.......... :lol
-
Storm in a tea cup really.
Now, Frank Sinatra.....He knew how to kick off
FRANK SINATRA
Aboard his private plane after being serviced in public by a chorus girl, Sinatra called out for a hard-boiled egg. Frank cracked one hard on the top of his diamond ring. The egg was raw.
“Frank exploded with the lightning flash of an atom bomb. He leaped out of his seat like a jack-in-the box, spun [the man who gave him the egg] 180 degrees, wrapped his arms around the man’s shoulders and started shoving him down the aisle, screaming obscenities. “You’re out of here! Somebody open the f—in’ door.”
He was seriously threatening to throw the man out of the plane.
Suddenly Dean Martin, the voice of reason, was in the aisle and blocked Frank’s path. “You’re not throwing anybody out, Frank,” Dean said
-
top gear is now and has been fore a while the tv's equivilant of a mans magazine
funny in places ,
as for jc well funny at time but normally when he is being politically inorrect !
any body else would be sacked i dont see why he should be any different !
-
There's nowt wrong with the program, about as good as could be ,mixing reality with a bit of fiction
-
Clarkson is a bit of a silly billy. I'll recount a previous altercation....
Many years ago at a Top Gear live we were hosting some clients at the corporate bit and about to tuck into some after show beers. In breezes JC (note the initials) with hangers-on and starts to try and pinch our drinks. Being of similar height I approached JC and started to explain these were our drinks for our Clients and he was welcome to have one and I asked if he'd like to come and say hello to the team and the Clients. A fair approach I thought, WRONG!! "Eff off you pleb!", replied Jeremy. What a charmer! If I was a policeman at Downing St could have been worth a few quid :b
JC has apologised for racist remarks, shagging his Wife's friend, shagging lot's of other people, having rows with his neighbours and being a general arse. I expect an apology for throwing the punch which he didn't mean to do and he'll be oh so sincere....
I'm biased, but imho he can do one
-

Yeah I can see that going down well on the BBC... Fucking Cunt...... Fuck me.... fucking cunt.....fuck me.....fucking cunt.... fuck me..... they would have Clarkson back after the first episode! :lol
-
I was told the other week on here no talking tv or politics on here???? banned. I head butted my labourer about a year ago, I didn't sack myself, lol, cheeky little shit.
-
Locksmith - The BBC bought the Top Gear rights from him for a large sum of money so he couldn't take it anywhere else. I guess the bbc will say the final warning was for racist comments so physical assault won't count. Personally I think he's so far up his own arse he actually believes he can do what he likes. Kick him out and get some fresh blood in. Kelly Brook gets my vote :)
-
Being on a last and final warning then punching someone does warrant the sack no question......but will the BBC keep him on as Top Gear is their biggest export and makes them tens of millions each year.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol Great management skills 100% agree
-
I stopped watching a while back, its the same jokes every week. Its gotten stale and not only should Clarkson go but the simpering, langly, limp wristed, tosspot & the giggling, imbecile midget should go as well.
Have a complete new start.... I know most of the time Clarkson and co are playing characters but its gotten old.

JC is not liked by the new BBC controller and so is being massaged out of the business
Is the standard way big firms lose the faces that don't fit , set absolutes they cant or wont adhere to then pot them for "contriving policy"
-
That rainbow is the funniest thing I've seen in ages, some classic lines "what's your name" "Bond, Unibond, coz I want to fill your crack!" priceless.
-
Hmm..I do like The Red Arrows, fantastic to watch at air-shows, but no substitute for a new episode of Top Gear :'(. I hardly watch any tele & apart from the superbikes, BBC2 8p.m Sunday is the highlight of my viewing week :rolleyes.
-
Sack he twunt
-
As they have been saying Simon Reeves Caribbean program was going to be on replacing the rest of Top Gear series and was substituted yesterday for the Red Arrows program, I suspect TG will be back next week.
-
I find it interesting and enlightening that it was Clarkson himself that reported the incident that got him suspended (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/jeremy-clarkson-could-bbc-punch-inquiry-fail-because-top-gear-producer-hasnt-complained-10104786.html). Highly coincidental when you consider the contract renewal and the fact that if he leaves before September (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/10808089/Jeremy-Clarkson-could-get-two-pay-offs-if-forced-out-of-BBC-over-Top-Gear-gaffe.html) it could be expensive.
Follow that up with the fact that he could be nearing retirement age, doesn't like the BBC much, could walk over to Sky or ITV and make better money then it smacks of him wrecking Top gear before jumping ship. Considering he sold it for £8,000,000.00 + it would be a sweet revenge to make the Intellectual Property worthless.
It's nice to see the mindless masses put together a petition to keep him when he is probably the one that would come out of it financially better off.
I don't like him much.
-
Cars don't interest me. Clarkson doesn't really interest me much...until he made that remark about stringing a wire across a road to decapitate motorcyclists. If I was another kind of person, he might get a visit for that one.

I am of the same opinion and that's why I couldn't give a flying fuck if the self opinionated cunt is sacked. I would prefer it if he was so I wouldn't have to look at his ugly smug face ever again.
He clearly doesn't like motorcyclists. In fact he only likes himself. What a tosser. (http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy231/celticfisherman_photos/Smilies/Knobhead_zps253c7cc5.gif) (http://s795.photobucket.com/user/celticfisherman_photos/media/Smilies/Knobhead_zps253c7cc5.gif.html)
Rant over.

Unfortunately I think too many people believe the "Clarkson" TV persona is the actual person.
I'm not a fan at all - and think TG would be much better without all the childish crap that Clarkson has built its popularity on.
BUT, when he tested the Jag S Type diesel at the Ring, we were there and spent some time talking to JC between his runs and messing with him when he was out on track in the car in a couple of open public sessions. To be honest, he was just like any other normal bloke, actually seemed a little bit at a loss between runs, as there weren't many people there who knew him and when the crew weren't around he just sat there by himself, having a cig - so we had a bit of chat with him.
Overall, he didn't come across as a twat and cracked some jokes about bikes, despite admitting that he didn't hate them as it comes across on the show.
That day changed my opinion of him - seeing him away from the camera's.
Whatever happens, I hope Top Gear survives - but not in the slightest bit bothered about whether JC stays with it or not.
-
Now, if any of us punched someone at work we would be fired once people confirmed what happened.
Mike Tyson punched loads of people whilst at work, millions could confirm that happened, he never got the sack.
However, for a bit of balance, I got a temp job on the Gravesend Reporter in 1990 as my mum worked there. The caretaker decided to be an arse about me parking my FZR600 out back. Things got a little heated and I punched him, I got the the sack.
Thing is, I got paid a months wages for going quietly, the job was boring me shitless and I was planning on jacking anyway so that was a bonus. Plus the caretaker was a total prick and I had wanted an excuse to punch him from day 1 so that was another bonus.
Non, je ne regrette rien as Edith Piaf might say. :rollin
-
I don't have a problem with Clarkson, everyone seems to get so upset about stupid comments. I'm not saying I agree with them, but at the end of the day everyone tends to say something exaggerated and out of context to the point of offence (point and case what I just typed - I'm bound to have upset someone). I can't fathom a country where everyone walks on egg shells about any comment in case they offend
He's definitely made mistakes though and as much as I would like to continue to see him on TV, I didn't sign any petition as his actions do require the investigation and potentially dismissal. Top Gear will never be the same, probably for the worse imo, but all good things come to an end.
-
Generally, he never bothered me. Sometimes he can be quite funny, in the Grumpy Old Git style, which appeals to me for obvious reasons. But it's just that one remark. It has been done before he made it, and it has been done since. I'm not saying the incident since he said it provoked someone to go and do it, but who knows? I just think if you have a wide public audience, you need to show some restraint.
And @ Millietant, of course he said he doesn't really hate bikes when face to face with folks he doesn't know. Easy to back-track on remarks, but he made it, and so that's how he gets taken. If he wanted to retract that publicly, maybe I'd forgive him, but really I don't much care. If I saw him, I'd ignore him. Off the radar other than that one thoughtless thing. I'm a long-time motorcyclist, so of course I think he's a twat. And I daresay he wouldn't care that I think that. So not getting out of proportion here, just what I think.
-
SACKED
-
He deserved it. He assaulted someone both verbally and physically. If any of us did that at work we'd be sacked.
I'll miss top gear, if it stops, in some ways. However the last few years then there have been more cringe moments than funny ones and the facts and interesting parts about new cars have been few and far between. Maybe it's the change Top Gear needs to become relevant again and hopefully that will include more bikes!

one feature I liked recently was the bit about Peugeot drivers.....that really summed up Peugeots to me I was in stitches..a rare bit of something actually funny I thought.
-
You cant punch subordinates now ? :rolleyes :rolleyes health and safety gone mad :lol
-
They've had some really good sections but I think they've had the balance off for some time. I hope this is a chance to fix it. It doesn't seem like much of a punishment for JC if he just switches to another broadcaster for more money.
-
Jake Humphries would be a good replacement and he likes bikes .
-

And in the position of being sacked from the corporation this seems a bit far fetched
From the guardian website -
"Meanwhile, Clarkson’s stint presenting BBC1 quiz Have I Got News for You is still due to go ahead on 23 April. However, sources say the final decision as to whether or not Clarkson will takes part will be down to him and it may be that he wishes to sever his links with the corporation entirely."
Yeh that makes sense, you have got to love the media
-

Although amusing I didn't really get it...
I've never had any issues with Peugeot drivers as a rule :\
-
So long ya nobber & don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out!

I didn't really get that either. I've always enjoyed Top Gear, even in it's old half hour format, but i did start to find some of the recent 'project' features a bit tiresome & pointless tho. The ambulance building one a few episodes back is a case in point. The same joke over & over :z. But the car testing features & road trips were usually top drawer entertainment.
-
Notice the Hammond has been keeping well out of all this ummm!!! he likes bikes. Lets hope they do not offer the job to that boring wee shite Eddie Jordan. Or worse That ginger twat Chris Evans.
Guy Martin would do a good job as long as they include bikes and canal boats, but seriously need a translator lol.
I reckon they will bury it, has certainly had it's day in current format.
I think Clarkson has serious issues going on inside his head, even his Mrs has had enough of him and told him to sling his hook.
One thing though he will not go hungry, cannot be short of a few Quid eh!!
-
So long ya nobber & don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out!
Take it you've sacked a few in your time :rollin
-
A colleague I respect once hit another colleague - knocking him down - for some stupid loss of temper. It wasn't right. It was a decent punch - both very large men. However, people make mistakes. I still respect both of those colleagues as good, hard workingg experts.
Also, I'm not sure what really happened. All we get is news... news often lie, or give you just some pieces of information, so you don't get the correct picture, view. So I can't judge, or support anyone by just reading scarce reports.
I liked this though. Spoke and handled like real gentleman. One of the better aspects of British mentality, no offence made, no harsh words, but made clear his view and not stabbing his colleague in the back, in spite of the scandal:

-
Eddie Mair pointing out that not having your contract renewed isn't the same thing as being sacked seemed to strike a raw nerve with Alan Yentob (Radio 4 "PM" 25/3/15).
Despite Savile, BBC management has moved the bare minimum from its position that established talent is untouchable.
-
You cant punch subordinates now ?
Technically, I guess Clarkson actually punched his boss not a subordinate as after all, doesn't the producer tell the presenter what to do?

Hahaha, that's a brave post :P

:agree
-
I see Guy Martin is the favourite to replace Clarkson.....maybe get a few bikes on the show if he gets an offer and takes it.
I don't think he is the right choice though, as he's no wordsmith and may struggle with interviews etc
-
Good Clarkson as gone he was anti bikes anyway Richard and james both ride get some bikes on now braaaap
top gear could be good again it used to have bikes on it ;)

I'd never pick Guy Martin, as the man doesn't speak English... which is a major problem if working as a presenter/speaker.

-
Mike Brewer, or even Ed China, from 'Wheeler Dealers' would get my vote ;).
-
From what the other two are saying, I reckon they will have to replace all three of them!
-
Guy Martin the bastard love child of Fred Dibner and Amos Brearly, and the two blokes who can't seem to understand basic maths and economics?
-
Yep I've always wondered about that, they don't make any deductions for labour costs when they tally it up at the end do they?. Wonder what the 'profit' would be then... :eek
-
Yup no accounting for labour, workshop costs, consumables etc etc and they never make enough money to make it a viable option. I watched one where they had a corvette and a UK cost for the exhaust system was £500 so he got one shipped over from the states that cost £300 but when they did the tally up at the end shipping & taxes on the exhaust were £250 extra.
I don't watch it anymore because it just doesn't make sense.
-
I was quite indifferent over this, thinking it was all blown out of proportion but after watching this leaked video footage of the attack I was quite shocked at the way Clarkson savagely attacked that producer. Totally unprovoked and yes, thoroughly deserved to be sacked.

I thought tonight's episode was the amalgamation of the three previously unseen episodes of the last season which got postponed mid way through?
-
Maybe i'm reading it wrong.
Radio Times says it's "a compilation of two features from the recent series".
-
My understanding is that it's an amalgamation of unseen location footage, originally intended for more than one episode in the last prematurely curtailed series, with studio presentation/linkage by Hammond & May, but without the usual studio audience.

Yes it is, with Clarkson only appearing on location and not in the studio apparently. Guess we'll find out more later.

:lol
Wouldn't worry about it, it was absolutely foccin rubbish anyhow :thumbdown
-
I dunno, I didn't think it was that bad and to clear up - it is unreleased footage from this season that has ended. They basically took two films that would have been in the final episodes and stuffed them in to one as they removed what would have been the likes of doing the news or a star in a reasonably priced car etc
-
Repeated on Saturday, i'll record it this time.

The Daily Mail didn't like something the BBC did? There's a shocker. :lol
-
Well thank feck that is over and done with a complete waste of air time. Roll on Chris Evans love him or hate him must be an improvement over that obnoxious twat.
Will say this though the wee Hammond has some bottle doing the wing thing. I like white knuckle rides but no fecking way could I have done that.
-
Daily Mail are, as per usual, way off on their facts... as the Classic Car scenes were filmed in 2014 not 2015 as the film suggested. How do I know? Because Top Gear weren't at Japfest this year and they were last year ;) (I was at Japfest as well...)
Plus as far as I am aware the SUV stuff was filmed beforehand as well, but edited after. So Clarksons appearance throughout the films was all before the BBC fracas. It's just Clarkson being Clarkson and I'll continue to watch whatever he brings out next as I do enjoy his stuff as well as with Hammond and May. He may get on a lot of peoples nerves and offend them as well, but I guess I just don't take offence as easily and can see most of the underlying humour
-
I did wonder if the films shown were recent or if they would show the film made when the fracas occurred. The fracas was in Yorkshire and I don't think the 4x4 thing was filmed in Yorkshire (or anywhere close)
