Final 3 episodes of Top Gear will not be shown due to Clarkson's "fracas!"

[GagHalfrunt]

Update on the story. Clarkson apparently reported himself to the BBC and the producer never made a formal complaint.

Yeah, well, it's not like he had the option to try to hide it. It was getting out one way or another, so placing the call personally doesn't make him noble. It's just an attempt to minimize the damage to himself.

Yep. BBC owns the rights to the show unfortunately. That's why you always, always do anything big like that through your own production company.

Glad you know so much about how to produce television.

Umm hmm, tell me what television programs you've worked on.

I haven't worked on any. I don't know a thing about it.

I haven't worked on any. I don't know a thing about it.

Then why be so salty because I wasn't 100% aware of Clarkson's business deals? I don't work in the UK media industry, but I do the Canadian one.

Because your initial comment did not paint you in a positive light. I'm trying to help you know. This is the internet.

What is the issue with Top Gear and Tesla?

I'm glad to see Clarkson held accountable for jerky behavior.

They should show the episodes with Clarkson's face pixelated.

No, they should pixelate below his waist.

Didn't he come out and say he was quitting the show?

 

[Smoblikat]

They said series.............does that mean the show is cancelled?

Or are they just strange british people and use series to mean season?

When Top Gear tested the Tesla Roadster they had issues with the car. Tesla Motors claimed that they basically made up some of the issues to present the car in a bad light, the failures were scripted.

We know that a lot of the car reviews are presented not in a serious way. The show on the Roadster came out right before Tesla was trying to do it's initial public offering. Musk was in Europe for the Road Show for the IPO and he had to answer a bunch of questions from investors about the Roadster failures on Top Gear, as if it was a serious review. Musk got pissed and Tesla Motors sued the BBC over it and Tesla lost the lawsuit.

 

[Elganja]

has clarkson apologized for his actions?

 

[GTaudiophile]

Multiple sources reporting that Jeremy Clarkson of TOP GEAR fame will be sacked tomorrow. The BBC will attempt to continue the show with a new guy. No one knows if Hammond and May will continue without Clarkson. But for all intents and purpose the show we all love will cease to exist. I will boycott any future iterations in protest. Additional rumor says that JC will head to Netflix...which could be awesome...especially of Hammond and May join him!

well, to be honest, if he really did a punch a guy for a hot meal, then he is a douche and shouldn't condone such douchebaggery.

 

[vi edit]

Clarkson is only 54? Jeebus…he's had some haaaaaard miles then. Looks at least 10 years older than that.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Top Gear will not be the same without Jeremy Clarkson. It will suck.

Replace him with Chris Harris and be done with it.

Fame has gotten to Clarkson. He's on a Lindsay Lohan decline.

How much pleasure can you continue to derive from cars? Isn't it time to literally move on?

What an utterly moronic comment.
