Clarkson has been suspended, no Top Gear on Sunday, wonder what he has done now

not again. How many final final warnings has he had.

something to do with a tiffe with one of the Producers - he has been suspended

Hope he gets the sack , I could believe he is only 54 , he's had a very hard life. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Sabine Schmitz gets my vote

Word is he punched a producer. That'll do it Jezza

Bye bye BBC for Clarkson is highly likely. Remaining episodes of Top Gear postponed. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
LOT (Lord of Time) - University of Gallifrey

There have been rumours all three want out, perhaps an easy way without breaking contracts, tough on the producers nose, but if you don't know when to duck, must be your fault  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

At the end of the day he may be a bit un PC, but he often actually makes a lot of sense - more so in his columns than on tv .
As for being racist, trawling out a few old stereotype terms to use in mildly offensive humours doesnt make him racist just foolish. He seems capable and happy to take the out of anybody, so maybe the only people being racially abused by him are the ones he doesnt mention.

However I personally think the slope and Indian stuff was too much foolishness, maybe I missed the joke,
Im glad I wasnt watching the India special whilst sat next Ajeet a good friend of mine - he struggles to get British humour as it is. It doesnt mean he cant give/take a joke but sometimes it needs a lot of translating.

maybe JC is just like me, often rude and offensive but all done in the best possible taste,

What's the world coming to when a privileged, white, middle aged, middle class, overpaid, racist, homophobic idiot who plays up to the guffawing moronic classes could end up losing his highly paid job on national telly just for thumping a work minion?

I met Clarkson some years ago during press day at the Motor Show.
He made several derogatory remarks about the West Midlands and behaved like an uninformed buffoon of a public schoolboy.
His head was so far up his own backside that I'm surprised it didn't reappear out of his mouth.
How an intelligent bloke like James May puts up with him.........oh yeah, money.

The BBC spent a lot of money, £millions, to buy the production company from Clarkson and his wife, this made it easier to franchise or sell the UK programme world wide. Irrespective of the UK audience the value to BBC worldwide runs into millions per year and helps produce more programmes. There are two arms to the BBC, the broadcast side, (what we watch or listen to) and the commercial side which makes programmes and sells programmes worldwide, some in conjunction with other companies and broadcasters, it may well be that Top Gear continues but not in the UK. The broadcast side may well decide that Top Gear is not PC, but the commercial side consider that it makes money and it is the broadcasters who buy it can take the flack for non PC presentation, so Top Gear on Sky? could easily happen. Clarkson was made by his wife, problem is he now seems to believe what she made him into, I very much doubt he would be a TV presenter had she not changed his journalistic style that made him become noticed. Vauxhall and the British motor industry took a hit in his early forays and helped the Japanese industry, The British industry didn't help themselves and no one mentioned the Japanese vehicles rusted so quickly they didn't get time to be unreliable.  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
