    I see, that despite lack of information, you have made up your mind on the circumstances involving the incident, how wonderful that you can say with such clarity what occurred, you must write for the Guardian (who were howling for his resignation last night) we get you don't like him but having such a knee jerk reaction to an incident that has so little details made public kinda says more about you than it does Clarkson ps Clarkson denies striking anyone and the Beeb have only said their was a fracas so this is all conjecture at the moment so I am holding judgement until actual facts are known and not what unconfirmed "sources" are saying especially as certain leaks of un broadcast footage where done obviously to discredit Clarkson, it would seem to me that attempts to unseat him by factions with the beeb is not beyond imagination

      its such a shock that those in the media are basically cartoon characters of themselves remember that TV is basically make believe and that they get paid to be what the public want to see,

              I like Top Gear (but the American version SUCKED). Has it really been cancelled? Someone was fired/suspended? Who? What for?

                            There must be a thousand people who could take Clarkson's place, and even do a better job of it. Acting the pillock isn't rocket surgery.

                              I think there is a clone of it called Fifth Gear. It is still all about the cars, still quite enjoyable. I will watch that for the motoring, Top Gear is for the comedy.

                              one is a niche program and the other is the most successful factual program in the world, syndicated to over 50 different countries would seem that the comedy wins

                                    top gear was about "cars" and bombed, the beeb cancelled it and the presenters moved to channel five and started Fithgear, and look at the world wide coverage that gets. people don't want 20 minutes on the latest family saloon, they will either look up the spec and reviews online if they are in the market for one or shock horror go test drive one themselves people like to see cars that most will never own driven like we would like, and this combined with the batter you used to get in the pub makes for entertainment but the hand wringing gardinista hate that and if we have to put up with those muppets Milliband and Brand then give me Clarkson anyday

                                        problem was it was still using the 77 format in 2001 and that's not what the public wanted
