It's over boys. Top Gear UK is over.

Clarkson is gone. It's official.

Mat Cauthon · March 25, 2015, 09:52:44 AM

Oh well, it wasn't going to last anyway.
Such a pity too.

Oh · March 25, 2015, 09:53:29 AM

Well shit. I guess Top Gear is over.
Wonder if anyone else will show any interest in him.

DAS B00T x2 · March 25, 2015, 09:54:22 AM

NOOOOOOOO

Now where and I gonna get my Hammond fix?

gats · March 25, 2015, 09:54:43 AM

Yeah it sucks man, one of the most watched shows on television. I mean they could get someone to replace Clarkson but it will never be as good. There's not much we can do now, I mean if you punch a colleague in the face what do you expect.

It was good while it lasted.

"Racist comments" towards an Irish producer, along with a punch up with said producer.

Aether · March 25, 2015, 10:58:36 AM

Wasn't there a petition to keep dude with over a million signatures?

They must really hate the guy, after what he did, to toss out a show as popular as that.

Isara · March 25, 2015, 11:04:20 AM

To be honest, no matter who you are, this kind of behavior should get you fired.

If you're annoying enough to get punched by Clarkson, you probably deserve it.

Well Clarkson was in the wrong, and the BBC were well within their rights to drop him given his history.

I can only imagine how costly this whole situation will be for the BBC and his colleagues, most of all Hammond and May. They didn't deserve to bear the brunt of this.

They have openly stated they will not record if he isn't there.

It's over

As shitty as it is for some peeps, I have to give BBC props for sticking to principles and not taking the money hungry approach. I know that show had some p high ratings.

March 25, 2015, 11:37:44 AM

It's not BBC's fault.

The only reason they're doing this is because of the Jimmy Savile incident.
