is it? you may recall that conclusion was that Clarkson's contract would no be renewed. no disciplinary action, no sacking, just the end of the existing contract. why wouldnt they want to captialise on their back catalogue of Top Gear?

im not making any theories, im making the observation that what has been reported doesnt quite add up with what one would expect. to be honest i hadnt heard of the hospital visit (the 3-4 reports ive read in the past days havent mentioned this even "allegedly") which sort of makes the point...

i agree they had to let him go, but find it a bit worrying you are assuming there must have been an assault. the manner this episode concludes suggests there wasn't, or else they are sending out the message they'll just brush assault under the carpet. i dont believe that would be the case with...

quite, so why hasn't it? options seem to be: its too much fuss this close to contract end; didnt want to pursue that course against a major name; no evidence/witnesses; or maybe it wasn't as much as the media are reporting. given its the beeb, he's on last warning and it was with the crew...

interesting point to note they haven't sacked/dismissed him, or even disciplined Clarkson, just not renewed his contract. makes you wonder how big an incident it was after all.

others have tried that, dont get the interest. the whole point about Top Gear is the focus on car porn and silly challenges. listening to someone say how good or bad the Ford Focus 1.8D is just doesn't do it for viewers these days.

doesnt seem entirely likely considering the comments he's been making from day one, methinks the papers are making up that part of the story.

all glossing over that they will happyily critque English, regional or other european cars/manufactures/national icons with crude stereo types too. half the people he cites have made careers out of highlighting and piss taking stereotypes, so its a bit of a thin arguement. take the piss on...

as i understand, thats not how it works. they (Clarkson and co probably) would have a production company that makes a programme, and they sell it on under contract to the channel. something such as TopGear Redux would have the clout to do what they want, because the advertising over a global...

you do remember how dull that was, right. or is, in the Fifth Gear form as pointed out. i havent watched that in years, Top Gear though is regular viewing for the past decade. even the missus likes it. thats its appeal, of course, not being just about cars, its a bunch of not properly grown...

reckon this will be an automatic HR responce to some incident involving some fear of, threat of or actual physical assault (though can you imagine Clarkson actually hiting someone?). there will be an enquiry, people will highlight to HR the financial reality of strict adherence to procedure...
