Der!
Jezza has been suspended by the BBC, no show this Sunday.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31824040

Personally, that was the ONLY programme worth watching on a Sunday night. I like the guy and agree with a lot of what he has to say. Most of it is in jest and in these days where you have to watch EVERY word, people ought to remember that. So, he's upset a few people, at LOT less than those talentless ****S Russell Brand and Jonathan Woss.

His biggest crime is being terminally boring. On the rare occasions I watch a bit of Top Gear nowadays I have to check and see if it's a repeat from years ago, they are all the same, just like his columns for the Sunday Times.
 
Like Clarkson for his outspokenness......hate Top Gear, too laddie and puerile. How about reviewing some cars for a change like the programme used to do in the old days!!!!

called the producer an effing iron allegedly and all the toys came out of the BBC pram..
he owns the programme anyway so has probably got a better offer (maybe Sky)..

He sold it back to the BBC together with the producer Andy Wilman (who also went to his old school, Repton) in return for the BBCs biggest salaries.
Lost his wife, about to lose one of his jobs, boo hoo.

So do I, always politically incorrect, but speaks his mind.

Have to respect him for that, in these days, when all too many are scared for speaking out.

Apparently he had a 'fracas' with a producer, no doubt one of the many left-wing knobs that waste our licence fee...

That is probably the truth of it !!

Thought the program lost touch with its roots ages ago and became more of a celebrity-fest. All three of them are so far up their own that it doesn't merit watching now. However, he wasn't afraid to speak his mind and most of the time he was spot on. As for the BBC, a shameful institution. Thank god I don't contribute to its disgraceful ethics and the rest of the weirdos that work there.

I could be wrong, but I get the impression that you don't like him very much.

As for Top Gear, it stopped being a car review show a long time ago. It is all completely contrived of course, but I find it very entertaining.

As Col said, Top Gear is entertaining, it doesn't take itself too seriously, neither should the viewers OR the BBC.

What follows, is my rant. I am unapologetic if it offends.

It was only a matter of time before the PC brigade took Clarkson off the BBC.

I like the man despite both his Sunday Times columns becoming a bit reptitive and Topgear becoming the Clarkson Show and rather tired too. At least he has the nerve to express an opinion, rather than the inane, lickspittle, ar5elicking garbage being the dirge most other presenters troll up. We don't even have Paxman anymore.

I do miss personalities on TV or in the media generally. Everything seems so watered down, so Radio 2, so Simon Cowell, so very, very Nick Clegg. It's utterly depressing.

Saw a BBC news item today about the police apologising to the parents of the girls who have travelled to Syria to join the murderous psychopaths out there. It just beggars belief that our underfunded law enforcement should, in any manner whatsoever, have to begin to consider wasting their valuable time responding to criticism for this. This is England, now the land of PC lunatics who might be offended by Clarkson who I am sure would agree with the sane majority and suggest that the parents of those girls might be rather more at fault.

A most eloquent summary - England is £ucked.
