The bloke never complained though... Suppose it'll all come out in the wash.

[irmscher]

Hammond and James May have said they wont do the show without him

[bmcecosse]

Not so sure that's a fact....

[bmcecosse]

Looks like the Top Gear 'Live' shows have been 'postponed' too......... BBC are really shooting themselves in the foot now - but what do they care - after all it's OUR TV Licence money they are wasting away!!

[dalebrignall]

they will have to refund a lot of money it they do

[twincamman]

Well it's just been announced that the BBC have sacked him. No surprise really.............

[bmcecosse]

No more Top Gear for me then ....no matter who 'fronts' it up now.....

[meh]

I fancy that German woman Sabine Schmitz, she would make a good replacement.

[mike.perry]

Is that the Sabine who chases big cats around the African Safari?

[meh]

No but she almost beat Clarksons cat round the Nurburgring in a Transit

[SteveClem]

This could be a good thing in the long run. He'll find a new vehicle to entertain those of us who enjoy non PC schoolboy humour and be out of the hair of those who don't. I think it was getting harder to come up with fresh ideas for Top Gear anyway.

Can't say I've got much against the bloke, but I find it quite reassuring that no one is above being dealt with. Verbal abuse and a split lip, nothing to condemn the man for? What about armed robbery, anyone still on side? Or how about mugging an old lady, still got the thumbs up?

[SteveClem]

That was just about a typical day when I worked for the Coal Board in the 1970's! Apart from the mugging old ladies bit, of course.

[irmscher]

The three of them will end up on a sky channel shame as it was the best motoring programme on tv

[mike.perry]

There was not much competiton, fifth gear?

[ianmack]

So, the BBC has a highly paid job vacancy for a grumpy old man a bit overweight and not dressing too smartly, who likes banging on about cars? Where do I get an application form?

I'll try not to upset the foreigners, promise!

[bmcecosse]

The whole ethos of the Top Gear show doesn't fit with the lefty BBC attitude these days.... Maybe they will sell it off . And the loss of £50M income it brings? Matters not - just put the Licence Fee up a couple of £s - there - we fixed it!

[mike.perry]

Jonathon Ross seems to have worked his way back into the BBC

[dalebrignall]

cant stand ross ,it is a shame i watched it for the fun factor nothing else , clarkson will go on to other things , but the clux of the matter is , you can not go round hitting people no matter how famous you are .

[les]

Not a wossy fan myself but for me the most obnoxious of people is his sidekick brand, That great 'thinker' !
