Copyright filing has revealed the new Amazon Prime Top Gear show might be called "Gear Knobs" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3238493/Top-Gear-trio-s-new-160million-Amazon-Prime-GEAR-KNOBS-copyright-filing-reveals.html :lolol: marvellous.

Hang on...You're the one who said Are you seriously saying that you were NOT obliquely referring to the sex abuse scandals that were allowed to fester unchecked at the BBC because of the stardom and success of the perpetrators ? Come on...(to use your own dot-dot-dot). As for the rest of your...

If you hit someone at work you can certainly expect to be sacked, and can have no complaints whatsoever if that's what happens. But a sacking is not automatic or mandatory, its still a choice, a decision to arrive at. If the producer was prepared to accept a full and sincere apology then I think...

What it boils down to is that I can see perfectly well why the BBC did what they did in sacking Clarkson. I'm not saying that they made the *wrong* decision in doing that, because what Clarkson did was idiotic, unjustifiable, and a sackable offence in any walk of life. But equally, if the will...

Like I say, people want their pound of flesh, and now they've got it. I'm not defending Clarkson, he has been a colossal bellend (again) and only has himself to blame for how this turned out. But I still think its something that could have been resolved without it involving sackings and...

See this is what we constantly have now - the theoretical removal of the incident and the placement of it in an entirely different context, with other people involved. "If this had happened between so-and-so" and "if this had gone on in a Latvian call centre or on a football pitch or in a...

Oh he'll still be writing, and no doubt there'll be a new show in some other format on some other channel, hopefully with May and Hammond. Just such a pity to lose Top Gear. There's not *many* shows I set my planner to record, but that was always one of them. I agree with you in that I think...

Like I say, its a show that divides opinion, as does Clarkson. Personally I like the show and find his boarish oaf persona on it quite funny. He's also a very good writer and columnist, one of the most amusing weaver of metaphors in the media, and there's no-one else quite like him which made...

I'm not defending Clarksons actions, he was clearly bang out of order and being a tit again. The non-renewing of his contract is perfectly justifiable from the BBC's point of view. However In the cold light of day, I would hope that two grown adults could amicably resolve this between...

I think Clarkson will get a monster offer from Sky or some other commercial entity, then May and Hammond will join up with him to start on some new venture along similar lines as Top Gear. Those three are pretty tight, I'd be very surprised if May or Hammond remained on Top Gear after their mate...

I suppose having "Sir" before your name makes a bit of a difference.

Bloody hell. A series canned, suspensions, a three week investigation, evidence being gathered, a report being delivered, further steps being considered. And all over some wheezy fat middle-aged bloke giving some other bloke a slap over a steak. Shame the BBC weren't quite so VIGOROUS when...

You always see this trotted out whenever a high-profile celeb or sportsman behaves like a twunt in their place of work and gets away with it. "It should be the same for them as it is for anyone else" is the cry. And yes, by rights it should. The fact is, if anyone in an "ordinary" job thumps...

I just did. There was a picture of Kemy.

I don't think Top Gear even pretends to be a factual show, hasn't done for years. Its all about cocking about. Personally I still enjoy seeing the various locations, especially on the Speicials. But anyone tuning in to actually "learn" something is probably missing the point. The test drive...

Clarkson is a dinosaur, he lives up to that persona he's created, and is no doubt to a certain extent encouraged to by his employers. People love him or hate him, but as much as it may grate on some people, he's built a massively successful career out of it and a TV show that is a national and...

Unless he's beaten this other guy to a bloody pulp, could this not all be resolved with a sincere apology and an acknowledgment from Clarkson that he behaved like an utter tit ? Of course clumping someone at work is totally unacceptable, but I'd like to think that two fully grown men could...

Whilst negotiating a pointless giant flower-pot slalom.

Well, he's the one who came in and completely revamped the entire format of the show, it was dying on its arse beforehand. It wouldn't be quite the same without his particular brand of buffoonery, but that aside, he DOES know his stuff when it comes to testing and writing about cars. Maybe...

Agree with Icy Gull , it MUST have been a punch-up with this producer. Gary Lineker was going to be the star in a reasonably priced car for this Sundays show.
