[Closed] Top Gear's Clarkson suspended by BBC

njee20

Jimjam - it's never really been about cars. They've always done features on cars, still do, but it's an entertainment programme.

Disagree. Yes it's an entertainment show/factual entertainment whatever. But it was certainly much more car focused. Check wikipedia if you want. They used to review about 4 cars per show, along with a car based set piece like racing Gee Atherton, or racing a bob sled in the evo rally car etc etc. Thrown into the mix they would have very short silly feature, these have gone on to become the show and they might typically have two cars in potatoes.

I also think people probably underestimate JC as a host. Look at the SIARPC guests he's interviewed, generally with good humor and a good on screen bonhomie. I mean, not many people could face up to Tom Cruise & Cameron Diaz in such a short interview and make it work imo. (Chris Evans being one probably)

Most likely longer interviews cut down. Clarkson's talk show was absolute car crash tv (pun intended). If you want to see just how bad a host he can be, look it up on youtube.

Moron has a responce..

1. Not sure how many officers you think will be involved in asking a few folk if he hit one of them and them going yes or no then someone else deciding what to do with the evidence. Ie it will cost nothing like that
2. What other crimes should we ignore to save money ?

Weeeellll.. in point 1 it's not just a couple of blokes on a shift 2 till 10 is it.. Noo... It's all the back office, front end staff, lawyers, solicitors and thats just the CPS, pull in the BBC's 40,000 lawyers, 11,000 middle managers and 23 runners 14,000 coffee and catering staff and you've got yourself one helluva costing issue.. And just WHOSE budget will that come out of?
So you need to widen your scope of costing knowledge.
2, simple.. every other crime that takes place until this is SORTED.

Moron Out.

Like when some bloke called a copper a pleb?

In all seriousness, it's not clear if the 'victim' was even the 'complainant'.

14000 coffee and catering staff and they cant even serve him dinner ?

[quote=Inbred456 ]Clarkson and Wilman own the production company that produce TopGear.

That's already been debunked - they sold up to the Beeb a few years ago.

This needs to happen

Borat Top Gear

Anyone else see CH4 news? Apparently the producers had laid on a helicopter to take "Jezza" directly from the shoot to his hotel, but he kept the helicopter waiting 3 hours before boarding. When he finally arrived at the hotel they'd stopped serving dinner which is why he kicked off at the producer.

I'm torn between (as said above) The Pub Landlord or Nigel Farage taking over the hosting.

Just seen a great advert on Dave pointing out that there is one channel where you can still see Top Gear at 8pm on Sunday..... 😆

Not the first time someone's called him that..........or something similar!

Over half a million names on the online petition now

I didn't, I'm afraid, but I do so hope they covered some actual news.

Bet they are worried about their 2018 schedule though.

BBC should just show a repeat on Sunday night. No one would notice.

Well up until tonight I was sort of on JC side then... ... David Camera-on is a friend and support s JC.

I hope the BBC holds their investigation and treats him like any other employee

I reckon a brilliant outlet for Colin Furze (look him up on youtube if you don't know who he is.

Claskson may be many a thing but at least he's never intentionally dumped an entire sumps worth of oil along a road before.

And whoever mentioned Top Gear USA - if you think that's entertaining then I can see why you hate our version so much. Definitely think you're the Mary Hollywood target market...

I hope the BBC holds their investigation and treats him like any other employee

There's some doubt about that even, as he's not actually a BBC employee (according to a few things I've read)

are we still dealing with if and maybe? I thought we would be onto execution method by now.

Death by bike? He has to ride through London on a borris bike?

Yeah the presenters did that joke themselves on twitter, nice of you to repeat it though.

Apparently the producers had laid on a helicopter to take "Jezza" directly from the shoot to his hotel, but he kept the helicopter waiting 3 hours before boarding.

Hmm, Jeremy made the helicopter wait for three hours, or a filming session overran?

It's interesting the way you can put a different spin on events through how you explain them!

It is interesting to me that lots of people on here are waving their outrage over his BS about,yet it is OK to draw parallels between him and Saville and suggest anybody who signed the petition is a UKIP voter potentially.

They'll get him to apologise to that little producer man who will accept 50% of the blame for what happened and the gravey train will continue to pull out of White City for ever more... It's in everyone's best interests.

According to the reporter on CH4 news filming had finished for the day and Clarkson kept the Helicopter waiting while he was in the pub. I'm not putting a spin on anything.

So according to somebody, who told somebody this is what happened.

Yeah, pfff. Bloody people.

INRAT^bollocks

Is there a petition to have him pilloried for a week beside a crossroads in London somewhere ?

They could make up the £150M with live streaming at a fiver

Have we discussed Hitler yet in his thread for the full house?

Yeah the Hitler joke was made back there somewhere so that's house.

I have to ask, wtfing ****? Overgrown fauxvinistic schoolboy uses casual racism to further his career. End of story surely?

I've mentioned this already I'm a 'haterz' of what top gear has become over the past 5years. Previously JC had it nailed but gradually its become 'which automatic mercedes should we drive this week fast round a very wide airfield'.

Or destroy cars that really should be treated as classics. Any real car enthusiast would recoil and wince at what they do to various Alfa/Porsche/etc.

Disgusting waste.

Only the last episode (along with part of the Oz episode) had glimpses of redemption.

So I think it'd be good if he goes. For good.

Richard Littlejohn hits the nail on the head.

So our prime minister thinks it's ok to come out in defence of a boorish racist who assaulted someone because they didn't get their dinner when they wanted it.
