Bummer. No JC, no Top Gear for me.

Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear host, suspended by BBC after 'fracas'

Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended by the BBC "following a fracas" with a producer.

The corporation said the 54-year-old presenter had been suspended "pending an investigation".

"No one else has been suspended. Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday," it said.

Clarkson was given what he called his "final warning" last May after claims he used a racist word while filming the popular BBC motoring show.

PC strikes again.

Mine has a better thread title, no?

If Jeremy is fired, will be the ruin of Top Gear

Honestly, this is absolutely true.

People are too sensitive.

He's worth his weight in gold.

Even if he's dropped, someone will pick him up.

Although it WOULD ruin TopGear...not quite to the American TopGear level of ruined...but ruined nonetheless. :-(

Does anyone ever get a feeling that this "sensitiveness" of anti-Clarkson people results from jealousy or inability to enjoy life's pleasures like he does and not give a damn about what others think? In the past I've read and watched a lot of material about him (pretty much whatever I could find) and people who hate him/try to bring him down. It just seems that they're really annoyed that he can do whatever he wants and have millions of people following him, while these guys play by the rules and no one outside Somerandomshire knows or cares about them?

is this because he said Prince Albert?

I bet he would take over the american top gear and make the current hosts his lackies.

We can only wish!

i do get tired of him just HAVING to get every car sideways and smoking in every review. it's fun to watch, but are we that sheep-ish that somehow drifting everything makes it cool?

Its not the way he review cars, its the dark-humor, sarcarstic and irony what makes funny
(At least to me).

Imho Jeeza's appeal to me (at least personally) is what I envision myself at that age lol

It's his entire demeanor whether it be being about power and more power, him being fat and wanting to run over motorcyclist or just saying whatever the damn well he pleases (i.e the dark humor to sensitive part)

Hell if you put even Hammond or May in the states, they would have been axed years for some of the shit they pulled let alone Jezza




I'd think the BBC is smart enough (as the rest of the world is) to know that if they fire Jeremy, Top-Gear is essentially a no-show from then on out
