The whole thing is getting out of hand now so according to the Daily Mail angry fans are abusing the producer that was involved in the bust with Clarkson because the show been taken off air and his email address was put out for people to further abuse him. Am not happy the show been taken off either but theres right way about going about doing it, if anything its gonna make things worse now.
If Clarkson leaves and goes to another channel (probably Sky) I would imagine Hammond and May would go with him as those three work well together and it's that blokishness which makes the whole thing work. No matter who owns the top gear name those three are top gear.
Sky news report just said that all 3 presenters contracts are up at the end of the month. So im guessing this BBC inquiry will last 6 weeks by which time the contracts will be up and they will all be free agents.
I thought the Comic Relief comments about Clarkson were brilliant - just shows what a twat he is.
If there was to be a replacement - how about someone female to mix it up - Lee Mckenzie from F1 would get my vote she's absolutely gorgeous and a petrolhead.
All this trial by media just makes me glad that I'm not in the public eye where half the viewers love you and the other half hate you more than a mass murderer. Must be bloody terrible for family members when they read utter made up clap trap, ill informed half truths and abuse from people who know nothing of the truth other than what they hear 2nd or 3rd hand.
It really is worrying that a large percentage of the population condemn someone for something that is so trivial in the national scale of things; that is none of their business and even worse base their assumptions on hearsay that appears in the biased and agenda driven media that exists in this country. An institution that has oft been found to be unsavoury and dishonest.
Kind of makes you realise that we are no different from our ancestors four hundred or so years ago. If we are going to have a witch hunt might as well get the bonfires lit
I thought the racism stories from last year were a bit overdone. However, clouting a co-worker is not big or clever whether you've had a long, crap day or a good one.

No its not but its for his employers to hold an internal enquiry and then when the results are known, for them then to decide on a suitable course of action. How this story gets more attention than innocent victims being slaughtered in civil wars or dying from ebola or of starvation is beyond me.What a strange society.
I thought Radio Times blabbed it about, probably because their precious magazine would be inaccurate with the show being postponed
Mind you, they replaced TG on BBC3 with the best bits of Comic Relief though I was surprised they didn't fill it with the Aussie GP highlights again. I get the feeling that the inquiry will be a total whitewash and Clarkson gets his p45 and TG disappears from the BBC. Then the Government will step in and orders the BBC to reinstate him...
If Sky don't pick up on it then I guess it is likely Dave still might be interested but I wouldn't be surprised if they made it a web show only.
Dave repeated the awful India special! Idiots!
