I assume you signed the petition not to sack (JC) then?

It's only a TV show. I'm sure we can move on and not mourn too much if (JC) went.

If he went the show would not be the same and I believe would lose a large portion of viewers with a new main presenter

Whatever the bbc decides to do with him, they'll lose out big time.

The beeb won't tolerate threatening or bullying behaviour.... Oh wait, it's the beeb who send out millions of threatening letters and use bully-boy tactics to get our hard earned money to pay for their Hobsons choice service.

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.

Angela Rippon was the first of many lead presenters when Top Gear first went on air in 1977. It was considered a highly successful programme long before Jeremy Clarkson made his first appearance in 1988. Perhaps it will be just as successful (though probably different) under a different anchor person.
