no show on Sunday....

RetroTed

Meh, it's gone crap anyway

gjh

Just seen this now, already spreading like wildfire over twitter, what are they going to replace it with on Sunday then? Crap probably.

cossiestu

All over FB too, it's like it's a major catastrophe!?

Wonder what he's said now?!

So what - hardly the end of the world is it ! Far more important things happening on the planet than Clarkson, as he'd readily admit himself.

fordrwd4ever

Can't they just host the show in The Netherlands then.
We don't censor anything...

Heck,we even got shows that are about pissing off people...

slammedorion

Won't last for long will it...
Not with the audience it gets... They'd be shooting themselves in the foot if it was to stay off air...

It's not great but I love how my misses moans about it being s**t...
I see it as payback for her hogging the box all week watching s**tty soaps!!!
It's the only hour I get to watch the box all week...

So true.

Hmmmmmm sounds familiar

The only thing I watch on the BBC is top gear, i can't see it lasting long as said above as ratings are ratings.
Im sure my TV license money will still come out though without a say in what I think.

Top Gear is their biggest export, and they'll risk that by not bringing him back ?

Yeah, like fairy cakes they will.

PR stunt?
Like people have said hard to see them getting rid of one of their biggest programs.

JasonPD

I really wonder what was said/done...(probably something obnoxious as usual). Not sure what I'll do now I have Sunday night free..!

Someone said he punched the producer how true that is I don't know but I don't think they will sack if tho

Stage6

^Good, he probably deserved it hahaha....
BBC are a bunch of wimps.

They need to get over it. A Top Gear related facebook page was at 3,400 20mins ago, now its over 11k.... so a lot of people want him back and obviously think this decision was plain childish.

xr2john

Nah I agree that there's not much chance of it being cancelled. I've read quite a few of the different links to various stories and didn't realise that it was the worlds biggest "factual" show,is watched each week by 340 million people and makes the BBC over £300 million in revenue each year,I knew it was big but wow

I say sack him and let him set up a new tv show on another channel, then watch the bbc bank balance plunder

gordyshreds

BBC should use Mike Brewer, Edd China and Sabine Schmitz to present it!

3i Jim

I like clarkson and his no nonsense attitude. I wish more people would just say it how it is. The bbc is a corporate company run by a load of left wing buffoons... I guess that makes me a racist for saying that. Lol

st220kyle

Fuck no!

Kosman bummed the stig ! Dear god

pjv7771

It's about had its day now anyway, get them all fucked off and get something new on

Rod-Tarry

Must admit he ceased being funny or watchable years ago. I don't watch Topgear anyway so its of little interest to me. If this being off air is a big thing in your life best to take a look at your priority's.

Dan F

Mike brewer is the worst replacement suggestion ever id rather see a shite with googly eyes than that tit

botters

iTrader: (2)

ifthey sack him the show will probably continue with new presenter / presenters clarkson sold his rights to top gear years ago

cossiestu

Needs someone with some humour, he's about as funny as being kicked in the bollocks... I've heard Chris Evans was in the frame, don't think he'd really be that good?

It's all started with no catering being arranged after filming? Seems a bit over the top?

Cos500

I think top gear would be finished if clarkson left, the current format is his and it works well.
Yes it's more scripted nowadays but still entertaining and full of what we all love, the specials are my favourites.

Can't think of anyone that could replace him, personally I can't stand Chris Evans and apart from money have no idea why he even gets an appearance on TV, he strictly has a face for radio.

Marney

Chris Evans would be a good shout IMHO

And as for him having a face for radio, because Clarkson is so good looking with his perfect teeth and chiselled abs. Oh hang on.......

Haha

160 thousand already telling bbc to re instate him, proper lol at original black stig on news this morning telling bbc to grow up as its only a punch up ffs

3i Jim

Bbc = bring back clarkson

cossiestu

Chris Evans May be a petrol head, reasonable amusing when he put his mind to it, but just can't see it working with him on it?
Would probably be quit good with Sabine Schmitt, as long as it came with subtitles! Lol

It's Czech Mate

Bit hard to unpick this as the BBC own 50% of Top Gear, Clarkson 30% and Andy Willman 20%

So its going to be hard to 'sack' Clarkson and carry on the show with someone else if thats not what he wants.

Faced with this can the beeb risk the £67m a year profit they get from TG

Should be interesting to watch this one play out

cossiestu

And, iirc Andy Willman and JC are pretty good friends from working together for years, so will stand united?

Going to be hard from them to bin off 300 million!!

I seen Clarkson petition reaches over 300,000.

Just signed the petition.
This show deserves to be made.

I can't stand the show now. It used to be good but I think there clutching at straws now.
How many final warnings can one man get! The BBC need to man up an sort it out properly... I say tiff nedell for the new presenter....
Lol

BigChuck

The bbc have stood by him many times, international incidents, racism and countless other complaints. I can't see him being sacked for punching someone, if that's even what happened.
