Nobody can replace Clarkson. Nobody.

Uggg. BBC is not renewing Jezza's contract!

James and Richard are walking, when that happens.

Other things.

Jimmy, your pointless ramblings are frequently well placed and mildly humorous. Is everything OK with you?

Stupendous, as usual. How's life in FL?

I haven't read any "conflicting reports"... it seems that the facts have been laid out pretty clearly:

The 3 presenters were at a bar having drinks, and arrived back at the hotel after the hotel restaurant had closed. They were left a cold plate of sandwiches or something, and Clarkson went into a fit, screaming and swearing and eventually punching a producer, then continued to scream and yell at him loud enough that it was heard throughout the hotel. The producer went to the Dr for a fat, bloodied lip.

Clarkson tried to apologize several times over the coming days, but when it was coldly received, he himself went to the BBC... partly because it became apparent that the show's staff was pissed about the incident.

I love Top Gear and think Clarkson is a fantastic host and TV personality, but those are the actions of an entitled bully. A funny, engaging one that we'd all like to have a beer with, but a bully just the same.

If that was something Kanye West did, most of you would be talking about this completely differently.

I really don't see how the BBC could have done anything OTHER than let him go.

Only other side of the coin I could see is if Clarkson has a drinking problem and they didn't try to assist him in dealing with that.

I love the show, and I think he is a fantastic presenter, but you can't go around punching people you work with and expect no repurcussions. I don't think an appology would have cut it for me if I were the one he punched over an issue with his dinner.

A stupid way to end a great show!

Looking good and feeling good.

I watch the show for J. may anyways.

He could do okay in a private tv network in the uk. Failing that bring him to the US of A.
With the combination of an English accent and motor critic talent he should do just fine......

All this Clarkson hype..... is just hype. To gain attention.... Celebs do it all the time...

When the BBC money crunchers see how it will affect the bottom line....... the company will retract thier dismissle of Clarkson. It's all about the bucks, pounds in this case.

Screw him. I won't watch the show anymore if they keep him, and quit watching reruns already. I always thought him a bit of an insufferable douche.

I hear good things about that new show called "The Royals".

It'll give Doug something to watch while he's pining for Jezza and sorting his Diana plates.:D

I find Clarkeson riotously funny but, do get the impression that he could be a grade AA Arsehole privately.

No way will the BBC be able to recreate the chemistry of TG with replacements. Stick a fork in it,,,,
