Top Gear's Clarkson suspended by BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31824040

And on that bombshell…

Ahh, suspended, but not by his bollocks, shame.

Still, he should know a thing or two about suspension…

Nevermind, I’m sure they’ll let him back in the herb garden……

He started a Falklands “joke” on the last episode.

Many many better men than him gave their lives for their country.

A “fracas”, now is that worse than a rumpus and a hullabaloo?

@mrblobby more like a spot of shenanigans.

Oh no, he’s a Dick but I like Topgear, whatever they mean by fracas if he’s found to be ‘guilty’ or whatever the term is he’s gone – he was on his final, final warning.

on twitter..

“RT @robertflorence: Just saw Jeremy Clarkson cut a guy’s head off in the BBC canteen. Distressing.”

I’m a bit disappointed that they’ve also cancelled next Sunday’s TG – I’ve long thought that it would be an inestimably better show without the boorish one, and I briefly hoped I was getting the chance to find out.

Does C5 still do “Fifth Gear” or will he have to find another outlet for his talents?

I read that as Filth Gear.

Now *that* would be an interesting show – perhaps with Suzi Perry and Gillian Anderson presenting it….

5th Gear has been running on – perhaps not still though – on some obscure channel that I caught accessionally. Tiff Nedell, Jason Plato and others presented it. It was infinitely more watchable & grown up than Top Gear!! But maybe that was its weakness…………..

If he went to Fifth Gear I don’t think Tiff would cope with him. Beeb could get Tiff back to Top Gear though where he used to be, but then it might be back to the old days before it went stupid and actually be about reviewing cars (which admittedly is a bit dull).

But nothing will happen. Clarkson is still big money for the BBC. Slap on the wrist, apology, dust settles and and he’ll be back.

Top Gear is Justin’s House to 5th Gear’s Drop the Dead Donkey.

What about VBH?

Any reason they didn’t call it a bit of Argy Bargy?

Or a ding dong for that matter.

The corporation said the presenter had been suspended “pending an investigation”.

“No one else has been suspended. Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday,” it said.Looks like the finger of blame is only pointing at one suspect.

That would have been the start of a slippery ‘slope’.

More blinkin Clarkson malarkey.

Good the gobby tosstard needs reigning in notch

****

Is it too much to hope the odious git is actually shown the door? Like others above, I’d be interested to see what TG is like without him – they could do lots of the same jolly japes, but without the bigoted neanderthal undertones he brings (TBH May is a lot better than him at doing proper grown up playing anyway).

The guy is a turd.

Clarkson ,is brilliant and I find him funny

but then it might be back to the old days before it went stupid and actually be about reviewing cars (which admittedly is a bit dull).

Why would you want that? I really couldn’t care less whether the latest Vectra or Mondeo is better.

He’s a caracter/cariacature, the car bore down the pub who talks loudly about everything but knows nothing, that’s why he’s funny.

May’s not a bad presenter, but an hour of him?

Are we switching to 5th Gear now?

Mexican wave off?

I’m regularly told I sound like Clarkson 😕

I’m the same height.

I’ll let the BBC know I’ll replace him at say, half his current terms. Job done, everyone’s happy.

I might have to polish up on my bigotry though.

I will do it or less im very nearly his height and dont need to practice being a bigot

Oh Noes!

What will the militant cyclists of STW have to moan about on a Monday morning now!?*

*I think he’s a **** too don’t worry.

Confused

Is Clarkson an employee of BBC or is it an independent company that makes the programme?

Everything else aside. I thought he’d been on good form this series. That’s Sunday nights viewing beggered!

He can be a dick, but so can most folk. He will be sacked as the tabloids will have a frenzy on it. Guess the headline in the sun anyone? “Jezza brake down”, ” Top Fear, will the beeb sack him”, “Star in a reasonably priced sacking”

I bet sky are already writing a new contract for him 😆

I for one am enjoying rabidly speculating about a thing that I know nothing about that has happened involving a dude on the telly. I heard he shat in the producer’s mouth.

I’m sure you posted that picture because you thought it was hot, but it makes her look like Mr Punch.

Of course, it would be just in time for him to run for UKIP in the upcoming election 😉

For the lovers of clarkson in the style of Marmite, sign up to get him back (although he hasn’t actually gone anywhere (yet)).

support for jezza

We’re they filming in Venezuela?

The Fracas in Caracas

Outspoken banter trolls (OBTs) walk a fine line, especially at the post saville PC BBC , but the amount of cash he brings in for the corp is a big deal

The problem is that as OBTs age, especially those that surround themselves with like minded ego massaging sycophants, will inevitably become cantankerous old gits and who wants to see them on TV?

Edit just seen his only 54! Thought he was in his 60s That’s what a lifestyle of smoking, and hating on cyclists and cycling does for you!
