Probably the latest news (hopefully, everything will be OK next week, and he won't be sacked):
I VERY MUCH hope that the show goes on. Ideally remaining on the BBC. But it is worrying, if the star themselves (Jeremy Clarkson), is NOT too optimistic about what is going to happen.
My fingers are crossed, in the hope that the show goes on (WITH Jeremy).
I never knew the proper story about what happened. But a very long time ago, many of the old top gear presenters (and possibly other staff), suddenly left, and formed a new TV programme on a different channel.
Called "Fifth Gear", on (UK) Channel 5. If I remember, correctly.
Unfortunately, something similar could happen again. Depending on the possible sacking, obviously.

Jeremy Clarkson alludes to 'BBC sacking' at charity event
A video has emerged of Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson saying he expects to be "sacked" by the BBC.
The host was speaking at a charity event in London, where he was auctioning what he described as his "last lap" on the Top Gear race track.
"I don't know when I did my last ever lap of the track, before the BBC sacks me," he said.
An investigation into Clarkson's current suspension following a "fracas" with a producer is still ongoing.
A report over the incident is due to be handed to director general Tony Hall next week, who will consider the evidence and "set out any further steps".
The Roundhouse Gala on Thursday saw Clarkson offer to drive someone round the Top Gear track as part of an experience offered during the auction.
"I didn't foresee my sacking, but I would like to do one last lap," he said.
"I'll go down to Surrey and I'll do one last lap of that track before the [BBC] sack me.
"And I'll drive somebody around in whatever I can get hold of when I'm sacked, so it's probably an Austin Maestro."
The presenter gave an expletive-filled description of BBC bosses, adding Top Gear had been "a great show" but it had been ruined by the corporation.
