Morris Minor Owners Club

The whole thing will of course be scripted

bmcecosse is right love him or hate him he makes the programme.....

Clarkson is the programme I find his method of presenting very entertaining

If he is going to punch colleagues when he gets tetchy the BBC will have tough time employing him.
He is entertaining but I suspect working with him is a nightmare.

Anyone know what's happened to Top Gear? Doesn't seem to be on .....

Comes to something when the only way to get a TG fix on a Sunday night is to flick over to "Dave"

They have suspended the programmes Roy

So the great BBC Clarkson inquisition started today... Any predictions on the outcome?

I reckon they will 'make an example' and give him the push, because they know he's about to quit anyway.

He will be back the BBC are losing millions of viewers it states in the press.The show wouldn't be Top Gear without Clarkson

Even if they do allow him back - he won't stay beyond his contract at the end of March - and probably the other two will go with him... To another TV company who will develop a similar show for them. I hope !! Only snag is - their contracts may very possibly have clauses in them that don't allow them to work on any other motoring show for a period of time - if they don't renew with the BBC. But if the BBC 'sacks' Clarkson - I guess HE will be free to do anything he wants... so from that point of view - he may wind them up enough to make sure he gets sacked. The other two don't matter - Clarkson could easily carry a show with new supporting staff. Just noticed on Sky - Clarkson fights back! Read all about it in the Daily Mail tomorrow !!

Clarkson is Top Gear he actually owned top gear programme years ago

He may even still own the 'Top Gear' name.....

Not any more. He reportedly sold his share to the BBC (he and Andy Wilman the producer owned 50% of "Top Gear" between them) for around £8million 2 or 3 years ago. The BBC now own all of it.

And without Clarkson - it's worthless...........

Jeremy Clarkson proffesses to hate caravans, anyone with facial hair and my birth town. As a caravanning, unshaven individual still living in the same town, I think the man is a genius. His books are genuine laugh-out-loud as well as thought provoking. I hope he is on the scene for some years to come.

I talked to Clarkson at the NEC a few years ago in a group and he admitted to larking about and trying to upset people for a laugh ie Marina owners caravan owners etc .I agree viewsonic his books are brilliant and never fail to amuse with his tongue in cheek and don't hold back style

I've just read that his next project could be about farming...'Top Tractor '

I'm easy as to his fate but if it's true that he hit someone because there was no food ready, who on earth wants to defend that!

He's threatening to sue the Beeb if they sack him. However, most employers would sack someone if they assaulted a co-worker, so if he actually DID punch the guy, I don't fancy his chances much.............
