Remember they can't take the brand. Netflix would suit that type of show though as the lack of advertisers allows them free reign.

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
 

Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson initiated the BBC investigation which prompted his suspension, after he informed BBC bosses of the alleged "fracas".
BBC News understands that the star phoned BBC head of television, Danny Cohen, to report the incident.
Producer Oisin Tymon, with whom the altercation took place, is not believed to have filed his own complaint.

Hopefully that is a signal that this can blow over.

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
 

It'll either blow over or add some substance to my wonderings, not overly fussed by either tbh

Reinstate Clarkson petition tops 870,000. :)

Bet there's a few mightily hacked off PC infected lefties around the Beeb right now.

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
 

To me there are 800.000 stupid people. There were witness's to this. And Clarkson admitted hitting him.

In 'any' employment, this would be regarded as gross misconduct. And as he has had problems before. Then to me he should be sacked. No person is bigger than the show

If that was me or anyone else, we would be taken before the boss, and sacked on the spot - full stop.

He is a ****, and big headed fool

The 'blocked out word' is NOT WHAT YOU THINK - l done say language like that

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
 

Where are your facts again? Clarkson never admitted hitting anyone...

He informed the bbc of the incident before anyone else did. As yet the producer has not filed any complaint.

So to me that is proof it's been blown out of proportion by the media.

If it's not what we think then what is it?

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
 

No one knows any facts yet.

God are you still posting non-factual gibberish

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
 

800 000 people seem to think they do or perhaps they just don't care like Dave

I'm guessing Art is basing his comments on the Mirror

BBC say Clarkson is like.savile

Not entirely sure about their analogy, I mean ok Clarkson was once in a Morris minor and savile was once in a minor called Morris but that's where the similarities end I think.

Oh and it's being reported on the radio that sources from sky and itv have said they aren't interested in signing Jeremy.

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
 

Like Clarkson could give a toss. He's already made a fortune of it, and if it continues he'll still receive a cut.

He has columns in the Sun and Times and brings out a bestselling book and video every year.

He doesn't need top gear.

In fact the BBC are in a no win situation. If they sack him they'll incur all the bad publicity that goes with it and possibly lose Top Gear. If they keep him they'll incur all the bad publicity that goes with it, and then he might turn around and quit anyway.

Either way, I think this is it for Top Gear.

It's the BBC, wanna bet they try to replace Clarkson with a woman.
