BBC are fools.
It will be interesting to see how they handled this.
Probably dump the exec and get a new contract with Clarkson.
Clarkson, May, and Hammond have all been laughing it off even this morning.
So, are the other two still talking “No Clarkson, no us.”? I find the UK version more entertaining than the US version.
Big Duke Six, this is Dove One-Three. The jets are inbound now. They got about thirty seconds to bomb station. Get your people back. This is gonna be a big one.
Top Gear wore out its welcome with me after one season. Nice to see some cool cars, but the hosts are irritating especially Clarkson.
Is the producer, Oisin Tymon, light in the loafers?
Cutting their own throats.
The queers running BBC, and UK media libs ABSOLUTELY HATE CLARKSON.
He is unapologeticly un-PC, on both the show, and in his editorial columns, and they can’t stand him for it.
The BBC head’s $400,000 tax-payer-paid salary is in no danger at all from firing Clarkson, so he could care less.
Just up the sheeple’s TV License Fee/Tax to make up for the lost revenue, so that BBC Execs can continue to enjoy the existence they have become accustomed to.
I bet he, and probably all three of them, have gotten contacted by Rupert Murdoch...
Amazing the crap moslems can get away with over there. But let two guys get rough for 30 seconds and watch the powers that be do something about THAT!
Its a joke.
What is Top Gear ?
I hope he finds an alternative venue and beats the BBC’s ratings. Not sure if he can, in the UK, don’t the control all the TV channels? Here, he could just go to AMC or TBS and do the same show.
Top Gear ping!
All three will land on their feet on another network, and will be just as successful, and will generate just as much ad revenue as they did for the BBC.
Thank goodness the reruns are on YouTube, Netflix, and the Amazon streaming thingie. I could, and do, watch them endlessly.
Mssrs. Clarkson, Hammond, and May are HILARIOUS!!!
