Why are the BBC bothering to continue with Top Gear? Ratings will plummet well below a million and they won't make money on it now. Clarkson has all the rights to Top Gear abroad so they may as well finish it. Top Gear's finished.

Pass, I find him boring. Fair play to BBC sacking Clarkson for punching a guy. But we all know he only got sacked because higher ups didn't like him. If they did they would have covered it up.

I'm not saying what Clarkson did was right, but surely him and the producer he allegedly punched could have settled this over a handshake and a pint and moved on. The BBC have just shot themselves in the foot and if they start charging for individual shows they can **** right off.

They've shown that they don't tolerate any poor behaviour I guess, but I'm inclined to agree. I think this may be damaging for the BBC one way or another.
 
That plane crash looks like some sort of catastrophic decompression. Reckon it broke up in the air.

Yippee. We might see some motorbike road tests again. The other two are motorcyclists. May keeps it largely under his hat, but Hamster used to be a motorbike test presenter. Wasn't bad at it either. Here he is testing my bike's baby brother:

That's Top Gear down the ****ter. Assuming this is true I'm not watching it anymore. Sky - please sign Clarkson, Hammond and May up.

Oh Tom. What a shocking attitude. What happened to giving someone a chance.

Me thinks your reaction is just petulance because someone you like has been sacked for doing something wrong.

I like Top Gear a lot, but for once I am going to praise the BBC for having the moral fibre to put commercial reasons aside and show today's modern society that nobody is untouchable.

Just having a random look through the news and came across this page from the online Daily Express:

http://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/518510/Aliens-do-exist-scientists-find-proof-of-life-in-space

Don't pay too much attention to the article [unless you're interested], but have a look down the right side at all the the other headline items. You know, I really think the likes of the Express [ie The Daily Mail] ought to just rename themselves The Daily Frightener.

Top Gear will never be like it was so I'm not going to carry on watching it.

I agree - and am still waiting for proof of what happened. How come May said it was "blown out of all proportion"? If he punched someone, he should go - I would do the same in a company disciplinary committee if it came to it. And fair play to the Beeb for ignoring commercial reasons. But did he? Or is it just because he's got too big for "them upstairs"? Top Gear won't continue and if Chris Evans (aka the Ginger Twat) takes over, I might even stop watching the BBC out of spite .............
