About bloody time.

Only a question of time.

Ex Millwall boss to join Top Gear...and then I woke up

 

[Steve in Japan]

Indeed. Wonder why not broadcast it without him, as certainly May and Hammond could cope. Contractual reasons?

 

[desprateseagull]

Hasn't he already had a 'final' warning..?

Whole lot should have been suspended after that shameful lying-through-their-teeth Argentina episode.

At what point does money not speak louder than words. Top Gear earns the BBC millions every year so he must have done something bad this time.

Top Gear is the BBC's biggest worldwide export, its a massive cash cow. He'll be back.

And on that bombshell...

Entertains me more than 95% of the reality shit and Soaps that are the alternatives. Ok so he is a loud, arrogant buffoon but I still enjoy Top Gear, even if it's past it's sell by date.

I'm intrigued to know if this producer was male or female. If it was a male I imagine it may have been a bit of fisticuffs...

That episode when they accidentally drove into May's car. Classic. And that other episode then they accidentally drove into May's car. Classic. And that other episode then they...

Already done that hasn't he?

 

[Easy 10]

Agree with [MENTION=19]Icy Gull[/MENTION] , it MUST have been a punch-up with this producer.

Gary Lineker was going to be the star in a reasonably priced car for this Sundays show.

I would pay good money to see anyone deck piers Morgan

Corrected for you.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Personally I think Top Gear would survive and could actually be better without him.

 

[pishhead]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Clarkson owns the production company that produces top gear?

I'd be quite happy to see piers Morgan deck Clarkson, and I can't stand Piers Morgan.

It is Top Gear which is the cash cow.....Not Clarkson - Surely to god an organisation like the BBC there would be no shortage of applicants who could do that job. And do it just as good if not better. Young Blood BBC - Young Blood.Think to the future

All 3 presenters together are the cash cows. The hardcore top gear fans would hate if heleft.
