All the way to North Yorkshire?
I must apologise for poor research and premature posting.
As a life long pedant it hurts to have to admit factual errors

Don't apologise, this is the right thread for both those things 😉
If it was Oisins job to sort the food, and he failed to do that, or inform the crew there was a problem with the food and they ought to pick up something on the way, then I can see why Clarkson might accuse him of not doing his job properly.
Except there WAS food on offer; soup and a cold meat platter (I think, I can't be arsed to google it), only JC wanted steak and chips. So basically, the producer, when the hotel closed the kitchen because of the 3 hour delay, made sure there was something to eat for people arriving. Everyone was in the same boat but JC verbally abused him and punched him.
Not enough swearing, abuse , trolling or arguing for it to be you
I still object to , and reject, trolling but guilty on the rest.
Im not be surprised sky doesnt want him, hes obviously a nightmare to work with, very expensive and possibly an alcoholic, infact i wouldnt be surprised if hes checking in to the Priory before long
As I said pages ago, Ive seen him a couple of times shambling round notting hill, chainsmoking, beergut hanging out of his untucked shirt and at 54 he looks at least ten if not 20 years older than that!
I think this headline captures all the relevant details nicely

That's more like it. 😉

I pay my tax not to feed people in prison just because s/he has a workplace punch up ... or one punch "assault".
oh it's a "one punch "assault"" now
the physical attack lasted around 30 seconds and was halted by the intervention of a witness;
I'll go with 60 punch assault then.
Shopkeeper near me died after a 'one punch assault' - should the police have ignored it?

chewkw - you do realise that Jezza is mates with the ZMs (and possibly one himself)?
It really is quite funny, although in some ways inspiring, to see people trying to defend the indefensible for the sake of the one they love. I haven't laughed so much since the Uruguayans attempted to justify Suarez's eating habits.
🙂
At least Suarez's dinner was warm.
I find this thread fascinating. The last time I worked in the UK (as a teacher in a Leicester school), the (insert one racial type here) female head of science was punched in the face by a strong (insert another racial type here) male student. Nothing happened. One of the things that led to me walking out of the place as I wasn't sure I could be as strong willed as Oisin if the thug or one of his gang had got beyond pushing me around and actually thumped me (they'd threatened to burn my T2 in the school car park which seemed entirely plausible as there was already a burnt out car there).
My life got so much better so quickly after that I'd pour thanks on the thug if I met him today. However, if I met the headmaster I'd have to stuff my fingers in my ears and run before he had a chance to speak.
it is the case that Oisin Tymon offered no retaliation
Bravo Oisin. A pity teachers don't get looked after like TV producers.
Can someone explain to me why BBC 3 has been showing Top Gear repeats, yet the BBC haven't managed to coble together the last few episodes? What's the difference? Clarkson is still on the TV*, which is why they pulled the new episode? Doesn't make sense to me.
[i]*although a lot younger, less fat and less wrinkly. [/i]
Very insightful interviews with Alan Yentob just now on R4.
Covered a lot of ground.
Unaired episodes to be shown.
JC highly valued as an 'alternative voice'.
And a whole load of interesting subtext.
EDIT - Which is now being discussed.
Worth a listen.
Continuing on PM.
Just do your **** job without having your ego stroked and your every [ irrational] whim and rider list catered for.
Why do they need to do this?
Cant the talent not act like dicks?
I think that was the point, they'd probably hoped for an argument, or some for and against points, but all they got was an agreement that in the context of producing a TV show nothing really works unless the presenter is happy to be there. It all very well saying "he's paid £1,000,000's to be there, he should do his job", he will regardless of his mood. It's getting them to do it without coming across as forced and scripted that requires them to be in a good mood.
And as a result, when something isn't right it rapidly becomes a big deal.
As an example one of the presenters they were interviewing said the only person they could take criticism from (and was prepared to give it) was the cameraman. If the producers did it then it came accross as having a go at them and they just got more moody and things spiralled downwards. Everyone on set knew that the aim was to produce a good TV show, and that meant the 'tallent' had to do good job, and they weren't going to do a good job if they weren't in the right mood. The 'tallent' weren't (normally) diva'ish.
Clarkson was 100% in the wrong, and should have been fired. But the producer really should have sorted some food out.
Really? Clarkson couldn't have sorted it out himself? What was he too busy doing? It certainly wasn't chowing down at the food that HAD been laid on, was it.
But the producer really should have sorted some food out.
He did, food I'd have been delighted with at that time of night when most people are in bed.
Couldn't they just have had a proper fight and sorted it out, then just got back to work? - like a decent playground scrap at school. Job done.

Dont we all pretend to be in a good mood at work and act like we GAS even when we dont?
there was food just not what he wanted

I am saying that if you throw a punch it is considered an assault so why not keep going for the maximum because the outcome would be the same anyway?
the physical attack lasted around 30 seconds and was halted by the intervention of a witness;I'll go with 60 punch assault then.
Well the consequence is the same so JC should have maximised his punches ...
aracer - Memberchewkw - you do realise that Jezza is mates with the ZMs (and possibly one himself)?
They all are. They all are. Especially if a person has celebrity status.
What annoy the hell out of me is that I like the programme. Yes, he is a faulty character but at least he does not pretend to be someone he is not.
As it is there are not many good programmes around that one can relax to watch during Sunday time to be honest.
With the increasing TV license fees surely there must be some programmes that are worth "boy racer" watching?
Well, the answer is in every other TG thread on here; there's always "I'm the Midwife" on Beeb One.
If they're saying contract not to be renewed that suggests he'll be allowed to finish the last 2 episodes.
Anyhow he's gone. First Armstrong, now Clarkson I've only got three voodoo dolls left; Blair, Bono and Ségo.
Right.
International Pro-Celebity Wheeler Dealers with Mike 'n' Ed?
They do the usual, but then sell the cars to the contestants of Celebrity Masterchef and Strictly, who then go onto an episode of Only Connect to determine who has first lap of the test track.
Presented by Brian Cant, Moira Stuart and Professor Heinz Wolff.
'Tonight, Charlotte Church replaces the sills on a slightly ropey rubber-bumper MGB'.
Bit edgy?

Really? He doesn't come over on TG as the kind of person who would go round abusing and assaulting the people who work for him, and yet that's what he does.
and I thought his fans always told us he's not really a boorish oaf who says racist things, that's just a character he plays. I'm confused 😕
Bit edgy?
Bit too much going on for the average TG viewer.

Well, perhaps on that day he had short fuse who knows after a "hard day" work and just expressed himself accordingly in celebrity tantrum/assault ... if that is not being honest to himself I don't know what is. Perhaps, the producer(s) had been slowly winding him up knowing that one day JC would break ...
Thank god that's done.
Can we stop talking about it now? 😉

You have it completely ass backwards. A professional presenter is someone who can stand around in miserable conditions, deal with constant delays, set backs and issues and when someone says action they put it all aside and deliver their piece to camera without showing frustration or being a dick about it.
Not someone who needs constantly tended to or someone who needs their ego massaged so they can be in a good mood.
Actor, presenter, musician, they're just performers. If they can't perform then they aren't doing their job.

He did. No buts.
Bloody hell, Zayn has left 1D now. What a horrible horrible day for the easily entertained! 🙁
I'm torn between which job to apply for now.
Bloody hell, Zayn has left 1D now. What a horrible horrible day for the easily entertained!
So Jezza to 1D, and Zayn to TG.
Bosh. Sorted.
Bloody hell, Zayn has left 1D now. What a horrible horrible day for the easily entertained!
My life if officially over.

Interesting that the producer took himself to A&E for a bruised lip - looks like he was preparing to have a go at Clarkson.
OH and can we not blame the victim either?
No wonder the NHS is bankrupt....... Seriously, i think they probably have better things to do than "fix bruised lips" of people stupid enough to get themselves into poxy handbagging "fights" (and i use the word "fights" in the losest possible sense of the word........
Well according to the 6 O'clock news the Yorkshire/North Yorkshire police is now interested in the case.
Now let me say this to the Yorkshire/N.Yorkshire police don't you have better things to do then trying to be nosey by being a bunch of ZM? Go catch some pedos or do something useful. [b]I don't pay my tax to feed you in order for you to nancy into such minor matter.[/b] Whoever in the force is trying to be drama queen to get involve in such matters should be fired from the job. You had it too good for too long you bunch of lazy bureaucratic ZM.
I imagine the Yorkshire Police are busy with Rotherham Council still?
Mornington Cresent!
🙂
hora - MemberI imagine the Yorkshire Police are busy with Rotherham Council still?
I think they trying to deal with problems that already happened that created so many victims yet they are still enjoying their parasitic status as law enforcer. Some of them are not fit to do their job and should be made redundant to add to the unemployment statistic.
