It's so all the middle class white blokes in the good old USofA can keep abreast of what's going on!
 
He appears to be a complete knobhead and the programmes shite so I just don't switch it on. It's quite simple, if you don't like him, or it, don't watch. As for assaulting a work colleague, well he's out of the door, regardless of who you are, the BBC cannot be seen to condone that behaviour or to disregard a blatant act of gross misconduct.
 
Best programme on the beeb and he'll be back.

Looking at the way he gets some of you frothing I can only think he's doing something right.
 
He wont give a fuck and neither will May and Hammond who will follow him to whichever show and station takes them.
 
Published BBC report says

""A member of staff - who is a completely innocent party - took himself to Accident and Emergency after a physical altercation accompanied by sustained and prolonged verbal abuse of an extreme nature. For me a line has been crossed. There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations."

Good to see they won't tolerate a thuggish work place bully and won't renew his contract.

Will Sky want him?

They got rid of Keys and Gray quickly enough when they misbehaved at work.

I can't see how it'd do their reputation much good to employ Clarkson after this ranting and punching based sacking, and also the previous gaffes involving language which some people regard as offensive.

Sky has a reputation as a middle of the road, family entertainer to consider.

so. ITV then...
 
I said previously, I bet Netflix will park a dump truck full of money on Clarksons drive.

They have a two billion programming budget and regularly throw fifty million at stuff like Orange Is The New Black and Marco Polo. Top Gear is one of the most watched programme in the world, and Netflix have previously hinted that it does great numbers for them.

The Top Gear budget which they do all of their crazy stuff on is around seven million.

Netflix also means similar protection as the BBC - no advertisers to consider, direct content control, and a worldwide audience.

Seems a match made in heaven, especially as you would expect them to give TG an increased budget.

Yeah sorry, they will get the three blokes and give it a similar name.
Damocles is probably right though with netflix getting them.

The bbc may sell the name to netflix, it would be seen as just bitter really if they did not.
I can't see them using the name again myself so they may sell it, probably not but they may consider it.

A million people signed a petition to support him and that's just the ones who could be arsed. He has millions of fans around the world and millions of fans = ££££. They will be fighting in the street to sign him up.

The BBC had their hands tied they had to sack him but this could cost them hundreds of millions in the long run.

People are not perfect bud, they know he is a **** and care not a bit.
He will earn them a lot of money and he has millions of people who wait all week just to see his show.
Personally i went of tg a couple of years ago but each to their own.

The word "reputation" gets kicked out the meeting when millions of pounds are at stake, possibly more.
