A producer has to have an incredibly thick skin and ability to shrug things off. Seems like this producer did.
A “talent” will bleed a producer dry and want more.
It takes a special kind of person to be a producer.
BTW just who ordered the cold cuts instead of steak? Was it the producer or was he following orders from BBC?
We really know very little about this.
Of course this could all be some kind of sick stunt...
What is the definition of a 'punch' in the world of the Politically Correct Progressives?
I ask because whatever it is it is obviously worse than molesting pre-teen children in a television studio given that the latter behavior was apparently not worthy of action by the BBC.
“This is about his physically attacking another crewmember.”
Ok princess you’re right. Or,,, just have em shake hands like men after a scuffle and go on with life and fun and money making.
Even third grade boys know after a fight, you shake and forget it.
” having celebrity-worshiping idiots rally around him because they really like seeing this guy drive around in cars.”
Exactly. I DO care more about watching him drining cool cars than I do about some retarded, likely drunken squabble. By the way, I also car about all the normal people working that show who will lose their jobs because the pussified element of society must be appeased/
I suspect Clarkson will be just fine, the line forms to the left for those who want to pick up the show.
Clarkson and his pals have repeatedly made it clear they think Americans are stupid, so I would guess that Duck Dynasty is the last place they would get on the air.
“But it was over something important like getting cold cuts when a steak was required.”
You are the driving force behind the largest money maker show for the BBC, and the biggest show on earth. You want a steak, they bring you baloney,,,,,,
Go back to watching dancing with the stars,,,
Didn’t Van Halen once trash their dressing room because they got brown M&Ms?
And some of us continually ridicule British teeth.
The problem is???
“Even third grade boys know after a fight, you shake and forget it.”
Only a juvenile idiot would claim what you just did.
So, what you are lying about is that even in your line of work you can punch your boss and attack him and not be fired. Got it. Liar. Juvenile idiot.
Let’s say the place they were staying ran out of steak.
If I were a producer...A GOOD PRODUCER...I would have gone to the ends of the Earth to get what the talent wanted.
Man up Nancy boys.
Well they can thank Clarkson for being a retard and costing them all of their jobs.
Apparently even HE knows this:

“Jeremy Clarkson: ‘Leave Ois alone... none of this is his fault’”
Probably so! Its like the whole world has simultaneously forgotten to lighten up and have a old guy white male little fun.
Every other kind of fun is 100% ok.
You’re totally right! I mean, what if this DIRE situation wasn’t properly addressed!? It could lead to,,,, bad things!
Stick to dancing with the stars.
Oh stop making ridiculous excuses. It sounds no different than any leftist making excuses for some stupid behavior from Kanye West or some other guttersnipe media personality.
“Heeeees a star! How dare you not get his order 100% right, you low life peon! Dont you know who this is!?”
He isnt talent. He’s a middle-age loser with too big of an ego. If his precious food wasn’t up to his standards, he could just fire the guy or have it done again.
More than likely Jeremy was NOT the boss....he was the talent.
He may have had an interest in the program but IIRC he sold even that to BBC.
Do we know how many times things like this happened?
Could it be the BBC was instigating situations to provoke Jeremy?
I don’t know and neither do you.
A talent I produced for was supposed to be in a parade. Every other talent was provided a golf cart type ride.
Mine wasn’t.
At age 72 he had to walk the entire route.
Mad as hell.
Since I wasn’t arranging the ride I didn’t take his heat but the ones who had set things up did and rightly so.
It was all on the orders of management.
“So, what you are lying about is that even in your line of work you can punch your boss and attack him and not be fired. Got it. Liar. Juvenile idiot.”
Pussy. Liar. Mangina.
And PS,, the guy sent for the cold cuts, is not the “Boss”.
In the vocabulary of radio/TV Jeremy is talent.
Read my later posts.
How could you call someone the talent when all he did was invent the concept, popularize it, spread it across the globe, and make it super fun.
These people amaze me. They act like any of them could have done it (except they never quite seem to)
They were out filming late and the hotel (out in the middle of nowhere, Yorkshire) stopped evening meals at 8:30 pm
It would have been sensible for the producer to pay the hotel extra to keep the staff on late - heck it's his job to do the organizing. The extra cost to the BBC would have been negligible compared to the UK rates for daily helicopter rental...:^)
A long day out in the cold, windy, wet moors of Yorkshire would deserve a hot meal for all of the crew not just Clarkson - the producer didn't do his job and may not have deserved a punch, but it may have been the last straw to Clarkson.
After returning from a warmer part of the UK after 3 weeks I was happy to feel the warm air at Phoenix airport...:^)
The Yorkshire moors can be a miserable place to be even in a UK summer.
