Top Gear

[M. Jordan]

the piece of shit punched an assistant producer in the face because there'd been a catering mix up and dinner hadn't been ordered. they were in the yorkshire dales - food could have been got from anywhere. i hope the guy sues him for assault.

Jesus Christ, I hate hearing stories like that. I always see myself as the regular guy like the producer. He or she was just doing a job. I wonder what Fata and all of the other fans would say to that? Call him a cunt maybe?

can't abide clarkson, never could. he's why i DON'T watch the show most the time.

if it's true that he assaulted a producer(?) and he's on his last warning, then i don't see how the beeb can reinstate him. everyone's replaceable.

I got the impression that he didn't make contact, but everything was written quite vaguely.

He's a comedian, a cut up. those people say things to offend, to get a rise. His comments about all non-Brits and "northerners" and the like are just for that purpose.

He is the star of the BBCs biggest longest running moneymaker.

Theyll suspend the last 3 episodes and either be back in the fall after milking some drama, or he will go elsewhere.

Either way he will be making even more money, guaranteed.

250,000 people have already sogned a petition to let it slide.

And the three hosts are joking about it on the Twatter.

And butters a stupid cow.

The American Top Gear cast aren't that bad....but I don't like them.

In their own right, each copies the Brit mold for the show; they're just not as entertaining to me.

That's the real issue...copy-cat American shows that recast a popular British show are rarely as good as the original.

Exactly. I always get the feeling that they've had to script every single thing about the American version, even down to the pranks, and that is awkward and exhausting as the viewer. The British version feels the opposite.

good to know you'd take one for the team. fata and bluey'll have to make do with the dvds

Maybe I should just hang out in this thread for awhile.

It's not as much fun without dear Fata, but I can shout, "MANIAC!" every once in awhile to liven things up.

So there was no excuse to not have food.

Besides, he only punched the guy. So what? It's not like he shot him.

i hope the guy sues him for assault.

In which case he will be a slightly smaller wuss than the guy who claimed he was assaulted by Richard Simmons.

we'll have to wait for the full details, but from what i've seen and read he punched this young guy right in the face like some spoilt diva over food that could be got anywhere - too much money and a shitty attitude to life and people in general means he thinks he can behave however he wants and get away with it.

he's a matter of taste, NN, and he just isn't my cup of tea. it goes way beyond a few northerner jokes.

so that's ok - a mix up meaning a delay in getting something to eat is really a good enough reason to punch a guy in the face. got it.

But you don't understand! This is television we're talking about here.

In 2012 at the end of season 13 Jeremy Clarkson did a review of the Aston Martin Vantage and after people contacted the BBC asking if Top Gear has been canceled or is Clarkson leaving the show just from the tone of the piece. Now that Top Gear has been canceled it seems appropriate to show it here.
