What's latest with Clarkson/BBC/TopGear?

[UrS4boy]

Any updates? I don't really like him but I like watching the show for the new car track tests, the Star-in-reasonably-priced-car and *some* of their challenges.

From what I can tell the BBC have started their 'meetings' with him and thats as far as I know with him. I have also read items which indicate Hammond and May have been offered to continue on without Clarkson for the rest of the series but have declined.

I guess its stilla watch this space unless anyone else has heard anything otherwise???

I have also seen several indications of people wanting Steve Coogan to take over from Clarkson and even mentionings of Guy Martin too however i dont think these will materialise into anything.

They need to do something before 28th March when his contract runs out.

Top Gear is dead without Clarkson.

Chris Harris would be a dead cert to take over but an Alan Partridge guest spot would be interesting too.

Top Gear is dead without Clarkson.

Exactly.

Case in point the Hammond/May combo is never as good as Clarkson/Hammond or Clarkson/May

Top Gear is dead without Clarkson.

And on that bombshell...........goodnight!!

[Colesy]

A report is due next week: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31970469

The findings will probably be that he punched someone. How or why they have dragged it out for so long I don't know. Maybe they'll actually sack him this time?!

Interesting that Clarkson reported it and the other guy did not, the show will move to dave or sky ( although with adverts )

They can keep the name but it won't be the same and the BBC know it, the whole reason it's popular is that people are waiting for an incident like this to happen during the show!

[Jamo]

Might as well give the show to Piers Morgan as it would be unpopular anyway

Top Gear is dead without Clarkson.

This.

I know the people that do many of the special effects for Top Gear and apparently he's just as much of an opinionated oaf in real life, but that's what makes the show!

I love the show and Clarkson in the show as he definitely makes it,after all it makes good television.Never thought he would behave like that in real life,now we can perhaps understand just a bit why the elite Tory Bullingdon club loving prime minister is such a good friend of Clarkson. Maybe David Cameron is just as much an opinionated oaf in reel life too.

My favorite bit is the petition for Julian Clarey to replace Clarkson! I would watch that.

it's all a set-up, Clackson wants to bail out before it's shown that the 918 is faster than the P1
