Top Gear's Clarkson suspended by BBC

wrecker

You don’t see threads on canadian MTB forums discussing how to get aroung the inetnets region lock so that they can watch quentin, do you.

No you don’t. Because it’s shown on the Discovery channel over there.

Oh. I expect you could tell by all of the threads about FG on the forums 🙂

Anyone else see CH4 news?
I didn’t, I’m afraid, but I do so hope they covered some actual news.

The BBC are aiming to generate every single bit of news themselves. That’s how important they think they are to the world.

At some point the whole 30 minutes will be filled by: BBC presenter punches someone; old BBC presenter prosecuted for something nasty involving sex and/or money; an update on which pervy BBC presenters from the 70s are being prosecuted this week; Cameron not agreeing to do a BBC debate; BBC office moving to a different city; BBC making (or not) a profit; weather; the BBC news in your area which exactly mirrors the preceding ‘news’.

So – the BBC seems to generate a lot of news, then eh? Things that are happening, you mean…

wopples, I believe he means “things that are trivial and (should be) parochial”

There was cannibalism!

Granted its yahoo.

According to Channel 4, Clarkson had kept a helicopter and its crew waiting for three hours while he sat in a pub.

The helicopter was set to take them to their next location, arriving back at the hotel for 8pm.

But kitchen staff at the hotel cancelled the planned dinner service, because the TV crew were then two hours late in returning.

Clarkson is a ****.

Many a true word…

(Thinks) That Hopkins thing must be short on oxygen/livid about now. The spotlight is most definitely favouring a redder, greyer complexion in these times.

JC and her should join forces – imagine her leathered womb and his nicotine-riddled monkey’s bunk might then sire an army of small, winged, sniggering fauxvinistic petrol-drinking Jim Davidson clones – thereby saving light entertainment once and for all from the humourless commies, Johnny Foreigner and The Gay.

Imagine the apoplexy from the PC crowd. I predict a short bawling meltdown on social media before they all drive their (French) cars off cliffs in droves. England will not be cowed into submission!

So hang on. What they’re now suggesting is that Clarkson made himself late for dinner then complained about it? If that’s true, that’s spectacularly twatty, even for him.

May said he was shitfaced so is it alcohol related?

No he’d fallen In a cowpat and couldn’t see where he was going…

Does Jeremy clarkson bear any resemblance to roger mellie?

That Mike Neville.

Looks like he may not have punched anyone after all then.

“The general manager ended up cooking himself for the three presenters”

That seems both excessive and an amazing feat, I wonder how he tasted?

Also JC is only 54, god he looks rough for it.

I can’t quite figure out why they keep referring to TG as a ‘factual’ programme !!? It’s light entertainment sherly.

As part of their broadcast licence they have to show a certain amount of factual stuff (as opposed to Drama etc).

But that factual stuff can be anything from a documentary on the history of the glue on stamps on BBC4, to The Only Way is Essex. Which is why the latter (and Made in Chelsea, and Housewives of Cheshire, and Jordie Shore, etc) exist, they fulfill the criteria of being factual, whilst getting viewing figures on a par with the soaps.

Trying hard to think of why anyone who thinks that, on the overwhelming evidence, Jeremy Clarkson is a walking bucket of sh1t, is a Communist.

Erm…..

Nope. Still can’t quite see it.

Change.org “re-instate” petition heading for 750,000 signatures

Frankly none of this would be that big news if he didn’t work for the BBC with its “state/public” funding. Perhaps it is time for him to run his own production company and sell the programme to the highest bidder

Well, that’s just over 1 in 10 of the viewers who actually care. 🙂

none of the above are BBC Shows….

Some thoughts from Noel Edmonds on the matter

one godawful ex-bbc presenter saying how terrible it is that a (possibly) soon to be ex-bbc presenter has been allowed to act like a petulant child, because he wasn’t supported enough and has gotten himself into trouble. Wow.

…. Perhaps it is time for him to run his own production company and sell the programme to the highest bidder

He did that.

The highest bidder was the BBC.

plot twist….

Jeremy, James and Richard start to make top-gear on Dave and the BBC shows the repeats!!!

Go on, then.

Any guests on TG that’d make a good presenter? (bar Chris Evans/JK)

JC works as he is offensive and always has been. In the days of Performance car mag (back in the 90’s) I loved his monthly back page column. He was different to the other motor journo’s.

The problem is hes been doing it too long. Hes become offensive purely for the sake of it. Hes bored.

Or maybe a lot of people worldwide like him and he makes himself and his employers a shed load of money? If that’s the case, why would he stop?

I think Matt Baker would make a good replacement

Oh lord … no.

You might as well have Nick Clegg instead.

For what ?

Matt….Baker??????? 😯
His level is CBBC, perhaps songs of praise when he gets older.

At the risk of repeating the bleeding obvious from the haterz camp:

I hope they sack the bigoted, racist old man.
He’s guilty, like Farage, of making soft racism and bigotry seem ok.
He appeals to scared little englanders because they like to hide their bigotry by revelling in being “politically incorrect”.

Had a bizarre discussion with a couple of ‘blokes’ at a clients premises, they hailed him as some kind of subversive and outsider railling against the status quo – they were clueless that he was friends with CMD and the Ginger Witch and very much an insider with some less pleasant circles. His only redeeming feature is he punched Piers Morgan.

He’s not even that old FFS! He’s only 54.

Bit of a left field replacement Clarkson contender, Rich Hall

Oh lord … no.

For what ?

I think you guys are being harsh, he’s non-stop banter.

C5 on now!!

He does not have the charisma at all. Totally unsuitable.

Anyhow, best TG race ever on BBC3 at the moment.

I agree with Hora JC was a good read in the 90s and top gear definately did have a renaissance period years ago but seems to need to be retired as the jokes just seem to be tired….

It’s a aged a bit like ‘watch your language’ and ‘love the neighbour’ 🙁

TBH I also don’t think anyone of a certain age is also going to have the same racism/bigitory viewpoint/level as someone 10-20 years younger tbh the world changes pretty quick but people dont.

Tellys all an act anyway…… No telling real from fantasy 🙂

Channel 5’s at Le Mans 8)

Now they are on the Milli Migla.

Wow
