Top Gear: The future?

[Cleoriff]

Unless you have been in a news free zone for 24 hrs it wont have gone unnoticed that Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended...

Allegedly he punched a producer....

Sundays episode has been shelved along with the remaining two in the Top Gear series..

Clarksons suspension has led to a massive petition for his reinstatement.

Personally, I wonder why so many want him back? Surely this massively popular show can survive without him? (Stands back ready to be panned for that comment )

Maybe this 'hero worship' of Clarkson is a 'man thing'? (apologies if that appears sexist )

I don't particularly like him. I think he arrogantly believes he is invincible....

I liked the specials abroad and what not. Talking about the technical parts of cars can only have so much appeal before it comes humdrum.

I agree and watching someone tear round a track only has so much interest when it's the same thing each week.

All very subjective........but nobody can deny that across the world a massive number of people enjoy watching Top Gear and it is a programme that generates the BBC significant profits.

As most of you know, I'm not one to start a rumour but .........

I think the fact that the magazine Loaded is going out of publication is more disturbing.
