I think they should sack the person though who has banned the last few episodes, Don't WE own BBC it should be our decision
Exige, a Bit extreme lol, evoarrow We own all of it, it is owned by the tax payer in my books, you pay a license, hence you have a say
Get a grip, you pay a fee, you are agreeing to enter into a contract. You do not own any part. You subscribe
Some interesting comments about the "fracas" here. Top Gear TV suspended: the best reaction from around the world by CAR Magazine
Possibly his contract with the BBC states that he cannot start a similar program for x years after his contract ends. But if he is sacked for cause, maybe that constitutes breaking his contract and could free him to bankroll his own version of Top Gear, taking his two mates with him?
It's all a bit double-standard don't you think? Have a bit of a lovers' tiff with your producer and it'll cost you your job, but systematically abuse children for decades and everyone keeps their mouths shut...
It's spin. He's out of contract end of March along with the co-presenters. 1st week in April they announce the Sky show along with WW syndication pre-orders. BBCWW are £150m shorter of their targets, and the zealot PC liberals running the Beeb will celebrate a huge own goal.
you tell me. no agro at work place. it;s freekin nightmare having to go to work every day thinking is this the day your gonna have to knock someone out. sack em. no pay off.
About time they got rid of the licence fee and this BS would disappear. Sink or swim on the merit and popularity of the programming and find commercial sponsors.
I like Jeremy Clarkson. He is a good egg... - Telegraph Good article. I'll settle for the Clarksons of this world over the priggish moral authoritarianism of the BBC luvvies brigade any day. He's the normal one.
Well as we don't know what happened it's hard to say who's right or wrong regarding the reported punch. For arguments sake let's say the producer threw comments back at Clarkson after he was questioned on why there was no food, maybe the producer was having a bad day and simply gobbed off and that started the scuffle. He could very well have said something completely out of line. Who knows, I'm not encouraging fighting in the work place but shit happens, it really shouldn't have come out in public and most normal people would have just put things aside. It seems to me that it was hardly a thrashing the man received, no broken bones or anything of the sort, if he's reported this he needs to man up a bit. So you have to ask yourself why bother making a big deal out of it unless somebody has a motive for gain? It's all bollocks really, fact is people who don't like top gear will grab on to this as a way to get rid of the show, the rest of us (number in the 10's of millions) who are very happy on a Sunday night to actually have something to watch other than shit cooking or dancing shows now suffer because of uptight modern day hippies.
I'm assuming that the "producer's" name has been checked for possible witty anagrams? You know, like "President Boris Yeltsin" is an anagram for rent boy stirs idle penis.
Apparently it all started when they arrived back at the hotel at 10pm, after the restaurant had closed, to be greeted with cold cuts and cheese, the big knob then demanded freshly cooked steak.
