WearyRhino Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Let's hope he and his awful programme never return. I expect the BBC will continue to find vehicles (sic!) for the other two infantile plonkers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyXIII Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've just been struck by a thought. (Rare, I know!) That Top Gear lot are just like the Muppets. Clarkson is Miss Piggy - vain and arrogant, Hammond is like Kermit - nodding at Miss Piggy while somewhat overawed by her, Mays is like Fozzie Bear - trailing in the others' wake and somewhat lost.

Bedford Roughyed Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 All 3 have done some good tele as individuals, but I can't recall the last time they did under the 'Top gear' banner. People are petitioning the BBC already, without any idea of what he has or hasn't done. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red John Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 A man who squeezes his 42 inch waist into 24 inch jeans while his 2 inch brain rattles round in his 18 inch skull. In a truly sane and rational world, 'Clarkson' would be a term of abuse, as in "Don't do that, you bloody Clarkson." Let's make it happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I quite like Top Gear although the endless desire amongst three smart people to play significantly dumber than they are does get irritating. Until we know exactly what Clarkson's done though it seems hard to have an opinion. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Old Frightful Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I've no idea what happened or what caused the incident.

Griff9of13 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 There are a right load of Mary Whitehouses on here. If you don't like him and the programmes he makes fine. But here's a thought; do yourselves a favour, exercise a little self censorship and switch over when he comes on the TV. I'm sure you'll feel much better for it. After all the outpourings following the Charlie Hebdo killings I thought we were all supporters of free speech. Seems I was wrong.

RSN Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 There's not a chance BBC will scrap top gear, viewing figures are ridiculous. I quite like the show, its funny and very light heartened. He has said some controversial things but I don't think there has been any intent behind it. He will be back on the Tele shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, although I manage perfectly fine never to watch his vile show or read his vile columns. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Rodill Rover Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The right to free speech does not involve throwing an 'alleged punch' at a work colleague. Maybe he was having his right to free speech supressed. When all said and done the show is only a modern day Last of the Summer Wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Frightful Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Don't worry Griff, I never watch the bloke when he's on the telly and I also support free speech, that's why I can criticise him.

Wolford6 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 His wife walked out on him a short while ago. Maybe that's a factor in this. I can't do with the bloke but I would have thought that he would be more likely to cop a punch than to throw one.

Derwent Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Personally I think Top Gear is a good piece of light entertainment and shouldn't be taken too seriously. Yes it sometimes oversteps the mark but so what ? Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things ? As for Clarkson, like him or loathe him he is a very good TV presenter. Away from Top Gear he has made some absolutely fantastic documentaries such as the one about the Arctic Convoys and one about Victoria Cross recipients. Anyway, Top Gear will be back with Clarkson in place for the simple reason that it earns the BBC more than £100m per year worldwide. I’m not prejudiced, I hate everybody equally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindle xiii Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I like Top Gear and watch it but I'm forever frustrated they'd rather cock about than make a better programme. I agree with gingerjon and Old Frightful too, and Clarkson has a habit of finding himself in trouble. Hammond and May could probably hold their own in a reworked fashion, but either way Richard and James probably have enough to carry on their own projects. I actually really like James May, he seems the most normal bloke on their who does try his best - his Toy Stories series' have been enjoyable. He's a grown up Guy Martin. In fact Guy could probably do well on Top Gear. But if it were to end - which it won't, the money the BBC make is why Clarkson has had so many chances - I do hope I can keep The Stig.
