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....

In addition, AFAIK all their contracts are up for renewal/re-negotiation as at 31/03

Apparently Jeremy Clarkson had a foul mouthed rant about the BBC... at a Charity Gala last night.

It appears he blames the BBC for all of the Top Gear current problems....

I will post the link. .it includes the video.... and all foul language has been bleeped
