only a matter of time

More positive negative pr... A non story and it'll all be back next week

[CKR]

I Honestly think this is probably the end point.

[techieboy]

it'll all be back next week

sans Clarkson though? He's been on thin ice for a while now and given the stupidness of the BBC Political Correctness Dept and various MP's throwing tantrums at parliamentary inquiries, I can't see the Beeb brass backing down this time if he's done something stupid enough to get an instant suspension over. It'll be the worlds worst vaguely car related show if it relies on Captain Slow and Hamster to carry it. Love him or hate him, he's what makes it work. And this after a 918 v P1 v TheFezza head to head sounded like it might be on the cards.

It still won't happen between the cars Ferrari won't let unless they win

[slindborg]

It'll be the naughty step for him, so out for a week and then back.... While 'everyone' moans that tg is crap, millions still watch it and that's lots of people willing to watch something else and lose ratings. I imagine no Clarkson means no real international sales either.... They won't kill the bbc golden goose that is current tg

[techieboy]

The pressure to bin him will be huge though, both internally and externally. I'm sure the Daily Mail and the fcukbook/twatter rent-an-outrage mobs are already warming up their keyboards in anticipation.

He insults various sections of the public with racist comments and stupidness and gets nothing.

He has a "fracas" with the producer and he's suspended?

[Harry Hornet]

...he will stand in the next general election, with a one line party line......Vote Me, non PC correctness, I blame the single parent, black, white, red, yellow, lesbians, homosexuals, straight men and women, Boxster and Lotus drivers and the Scots, for the ever growing population, homeless ness, food shortage, water shortage, increase  in crime figures, pollution, and make all  European countries drive on the left

..he's probably already done a deal with Sky...

I like top gear but given that greeno's and safety campaigners are lobbying to  get speed limits reduced and near blanket speed camera coverage , is having an advocate that is always courting controversy really doing our cause as petrolheads any good?

[mbes2]

Still find this funny as its true

 

January 2011 - Indian diplomats complained about a 90-minute India special in which a car fitted with a toilet in its boot is described by Clarkson as "perfect for India because everyone who comes here gets the trots."

[Gedi]

Surely it's easier to join in with the rest of India and just sh*t on the floor?

[slindborg]

What's the alternative? All the 'Internet' car presenters are p*ss irritating (Harris, meatycalve etc ). Ahh sod it get tg USA team to do the uk one

Hahaha PMSL, that's brilliant and having been there know it to be true!

Hey. I model myself on that look!

[oblomov]

Threw a punch at a producer apparently.

Only because the producer used the 'N' word.

He was very kind to our little plastic VAUXHALL. Beeb could do with more in his mold.
