Well they've been "leaking" stuff about Clarkson left right and centre, so it'd only be fair to "leak" the pulled episodes .

Just incase he reads SN:

Andy: if you read this and have a copy....Give me a PM, I'll stick it on youtube/final gear

 

How do you work that out? It was clearly a work related incident. Clarkson had to go. You can't hit your colleagues!

 

Have got utterly fed up with this whole subject, but this morning something pops up I do not understand.

Clarkson to guest present HIGNFY

This is nonsensical. The BBC's Tony Hall said of the decision not to renew Clarkson's TG contract "a line has been crossed" and "there cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another". So the crossed line only exists for Top Gear, but not other BBC programmes?

Very fair and sensible

 

Totally bizarre, and I think probably goes to prove the alleged "incident " has been some kind of excuse for ending tg

 

So with the success of TG world wide, they sack him. Yet lets him host a shyte programme like HIGNFY!

 

Bonkers isn't it?

 

Sure is, I wasn't into all the conspiracy theories about constructive dismissal etc. but it makes you wonder!

 

Chris

HIGNFY is produced by Hat Trick Productions, in independent TV production company, not the BBC. The BBC basically buys the rights to show it.

Who appears isn't under the BBC's control, so no double standards (for once!)

THe BBC are prpbably wincing at the thought of how it appears

 

Jimmy Mulville said weeks ago that clarkson had been booked to host the show and as far as he was concerned he was still hosting it unless BBC bosses told him otherwise. I guess the beeb are happy for him to do it, as it has been reported that clarkson has been gagged from discussing the fracas. You just know that all the contestants on HIGNFY are just going to take the **** constantly, can't see Jezza keeping his mouth shut.

As for being 'sacked' etc, I was 'sacked' from my first job as I was a contractor, within a week I was asked to come back and cover for a couple of weeks, and after doing my own thing for a few years was asked to come back permenantly where I stayed for a further thirteen years until I was the last to be made redundant. Can quite easily see Jeremy returning once everything has been forgotten.

 

Ready for this?...

Sue Perkins rumoured to present (no doubt a repackaged/rebranded) TG.

 

Top dyke?

 

Joke right?

Wouldn't waste part of my life watching that

 

It was mentioned on the radio, this morning.

 

Clarkson has pulled out of hosting HIGNFY. He'd be putting himself in a stupid situation in my opinion if he did host it as he would get constant abuse off Paul Merton at the very least.

 

I have a feeling he was probably pushed out as he would love the banter about it even if it was directed at him to an extent. IMO the BBC were going to come out looking even worse if they had let it go.

 

Not to forget Clarkson's previous physical pen assault on Hislop.

 

Philip Glenister may replace him

<insert name here> could replace him.

The papers just making up s**t for some clickbait. I do wish everyone would stop speculating and wait and see what if anything happens.

 

SPOT ON!

 

Definitely a dysfunctional child trapped inside a middle aged man's body, then.

 

Might be interesting to see what three new presenters would do!

Think they would have to utterly change the format though.They couldn't really just copy what has already been done

 

Clarkson in the Sunday Times this mornng. Perhpas undertsandable, but not excusable.

To be fair to him though, he does seem to recognise that he has acted fooloshly. Then again, maybe he is just saying that

 

Didn't his mother do something quite famous?

Jeremy,you will always have a job.....

 

Chap who drove himself to hospital for a split lip seems a bit,err,weak

 

Why do you keep hanging on to the victim's split lip? Can't you see that Jeremy was bang out of order, regardless of the victim driving to the hospital with his split lip or flapping about with concussion of the floor without any medical assistance?

If you've read the report, it says that whilst punching his lights out Mr. Clarkson threatened the victim that he had lost his job for his misconduct of not supporting JC's hot food demand. The victim could have been in a right state, physically and mentally. Now just because he drove to the hospital miles away doesn't mean he wasn't victimised, and it was all well-planned malicious plot against JC.

Why should anyone put up with JC for that sort of thing? Just because he's great JC?? Oh, come on!

Mind you, it could have been a well-tailored event from your fantastic JC, as he is the one who's hungry for gaining publicity with his childish tactics and flippant commentary. Oh, well.

By the way, sympathy for JC for his reasons for lashing out, but as Geezer says, understandable but not excusable.

 

The official report intentionally negates all premeditating circumstances. IMO that's poor practice as no one will learn of whats been going on beforehand. Which could indeed have been poor work practices (too many hours, lack of food, lack of planning etc).

We'll probably find out in a book released sometime close to Christmas.

 

Regardless, no need to physically assault someone. No excuse whatsoever.

Sure. JC likes attention, and the good thing is that he can get both attention and money by selling his childish tales told with a bit of an intellectual flare to it.

 

Opinion appears to be divided

Very nearly straight down gender lines

My women hopes his cancer spreads.

 

What??? Are you serious??? I don't think that's what I, as a woman or a man or a pet, would wish on anyone so flippantly! With this flippant and childish hope of hers, I wonder if she's a richer relative of JC herself.

Well, unless you were joshing in your own usual ways.

 

No you're correct , she just doesn't wish him well !
