TOP GEAR (BBC)
 
Clarkson suspened..................http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...content=title1

oh... that's not surprising... yet unexpected. I'd expect him being suspended because of public opinion, but not from another producer of the show.

Special_K 03-10-2015 04:02 PM

Haha, we'll see how long that sticks. You don't kill the goose that lays golden eggs. Econ 101 right there.

Is he a douche? Yea probably... Do we expect his world views to be progressive and correct? Hell no... Do we love him anyway? Absolutely.

Burrcold 03-10-2015 04:06 PM

Highest rated BBC program...the suspension won't last long lol.

BBC doesn't understand why their show is popular apparently?

James May just said on twitter that there's no show being aired this weekend.

themadscientist 03-10-2015 05:14 PM

Impossible. James just joined MySpace last week on his AOL dial up.

It has been reported through multiple new sources that this week's episode will not be aired

If Clarkson swung on a producer, try not to forget, the producer is also a co-worker. Most workplaces have a zero tolerance policy for matters like this, so it's likely that Clarkson had to be suspended during the investigation. It's probably not a matter of political correctness or the BBC not knowing Clarkson's value, but instead a legal matter about non-threatening work environments.

Simple, make him drive a Leyland all season. That will teach him a lesson.

f0rge 03-11-2015 09:12 AM

They're saying they might not air any of the remaining 3 episodes this season.

I think the show would go on just fine without him.
