- A Panel consisting of: Ian Hislop, Anna Soubry, Charles Kennedy, Natalie Bennett and Lucy Powell, publicly denounce Clarkson in his birth county of Yorkshire.
Most shocking is that Charles Kennedy was dead 111 days after this recording. A sad loss of a very intelligent man.
Much better than Nick Clegg
I once sat beside him in a bar. Sad that he's gone, but the way he was knocking it back, not surprising. He just never got on top of his alcohol problem,..
@@tullochgorum6323 Did you have a chat with him? He looks to be quite an amiable, affable bloke, a real shame he pickled himself. I just realised it was 5 years ago, I'm off to watch the vid again.
@@djxjxixsmjxjskjzxn1853 No - he was with a rather attractive young lady - though I have a relative who knew him well and liked him. But he had a fatal weakness he could never fully control. A tragic waste of potential, in the true sense of the word.
He has such raw potential he could of led a electable Liberal Democrat’s
I loved Top Gear. Clarkson, May and Hammond made the show. I'm a fan of all of them. But objectively, he had to go. He assaulted another employee and shouted sectarian abuse at him. In any of profession, that would be grounds for immediate dismissal.
All the petition showed was that people will excuse inexcusable behaviour for the right people.
+Sean Ó Briain Nope ... the thing is that you do not solve problems by "letting people go". The BBC never even made any attempt to "calm Clarkson down" after the "N-word incident" (which should never have been an incident at all, because whatever Clarkson sings is his own damn affair). They put him on final warning without making him visit a counselor or hire someone that keeps him in line ... and they never made any attempt to include mitigating factors in the punching incident.
+Muck006 Oh please. He assaulted another member of staff. In any other field of employment, it's grounds for immediate dismissal. You're exactly the type of person I was referring to when I said people with excuse inexcusable behaviour for the right people.
Your employer doesn't owe you counselling, not least in the case of assault. Don't want to get fired? Don't assault someone. Easy.
+Muck006 I agree with Sean. It's a double standard to say he shouldn't be sacked, because whether you admit it or not, the reasons we try and excuse him are all boiling down to "it's CLARKSON, we love him" - no. It isn't even the first time he's brought the BBC into disrepute. It was definitely time for him to be moved on.
What a pointless rambling
+Sean Ó Briain well said!
Side note: Ian Hislop absolutely lights up Question Time every time he is on it.
side not you're a communist
"No presenters are bigger than the show" - I think we found the exception.
harmony jones. Only the show is dying. Have you heard of Grand Tour?
Chase Meyer
Nope. But then I don't really care about TV, just that rancid human beings like Clarkson aren't on the BBC payroll.
Harmony Jones it not like you are paying him or had any direct connection with him. You dont even watch tv. So why is it a big deal for you?
Chase Meyer
It's called justice. A quaint idea, sure, but one worth grasping onto.
Clarkson's doing pretty well for himself now without you love
“No presenter is ever bigger than the show”...Is Top Gear even still a thing?
Chris Harris is good on it
Yeah it’s better than ever. Amazons attempt to make some money off Clarkson failed hardcore
It's pretty good now actually. Better than the last few series with Clarkson et al which tbh was getting fairly tired towards the end
When wasnt it a thing?
@@thomashughes4074 😂😂 the viewing figures would disagree, and the Amazon show is way better.
"No presenters are bigger than the show" And after the first series of the new Top Gear, viewing numbers have plummeted from over 9,000,000 to under 2,000,000. I rest my case...
your right in your observation that it seems top gear isn't doing nearly as well without him. However, it's rather that the presenter SHOULDN'T be bigger than the show. top gear seemed to me to be centered around the personalities of the presenters so that probably explains the ratings drop since their departure. Time to reinvent the show then!
I just watched this and had to laugh.. the BBC's arrogance to keep top gear coining it for them without him has backfired splendidly.
Joe Nichols Clarkson was Top Gear
he's still a twat
Some presenters ARE the show, as we all know now.
RIP Charles Kennedy, makes me sad to see him on form here, we will miss you Charlie
RIP Charles Kennedy - Scotland's Finest Liberal MP
"No presenter is bigger than the show" Eeh Clarkson is the show. No Clarkson no show.
riverman83 sort of agree with you there, since Hammond and May also followed Clarkson out the door (as well as Hillman) I think we will see that 'one (or three) presenters are bigger than the show.' I for one will not be watching a Chris Evans led Top Gear, and probably the saddest part is, another great BBC institution is being let slide by the wayside. None of the above commentators actually answered the question, of course the BBC will survive without Top Gear, but it will be far worse off without it, and another nail in the coffin of this once great establishment. If Match of the Day was to go they may as well close up shop. I'm sure I remember Clarkson making reference to the current state of affairs at the BBC during his time on Top Gear, perhaps his actions were borne out of frustration....
riverman83 I agree 100% !!! No Clarkson no show.
Boodysaspie Good one :D
+riverman83 I can't imagine them making David Attenborough wildlife programs after he dies.
+riverman83 IMO i actually liked the old Top Gear (before Clarkson was on all the time) as well as the new one. The new format is obviously more focused on entertainment and it is pretty impeccable at that, but in terms of being a car programme the old one definitely beats it. At least now we will have a choice of two car/entertainment programmes: new Top Gear with Chris Evans and whatever the name of Clarkson, Hammond and May's programme will be.
He’s my hero for punching out Piers Morgan. In hindsight they couldn’t afford to lose him
Morgan is a vile pig and troll. He hacked a dead girls phone
Well I guess the lady in the red jacket proved herself wrong with saying no presenter is bigger than the show. Given the recent new with Jeremy Clarkson. Uuuuuh mmhhh I'm mean 'Chris Evans.'
Hm. You said it: Chris Evans; probably handpicked by a chuckling Clarkson himself
No presenter is bigger than a show. Unfortunately, Clarkson was more than a presenter. He wrote the damn thing in almost it's entirety for years. Were it not an existing show, you could credit him as a creator who starred in his own show. Little wonder that it fell apart afterwards.
Too right mate. The BBC cancelled the show and look what they gave us as a replacement. Not very good presenters, the so called humour was forced, unlike the real TG where it was all friendly banter between mates, and Chris Evans RIP (from the show) was like an excitable puppy running about yapping. Plus all the segments in the show were all done far better in the real TG, and is just plain boring to watch. I watched a few episodes on iPlayer which meant I could skip all the boring bits (which was most of it) reducing the run time from about an hour down to about 10 minutes or so. Also, it is not as if JC punched the bloke during a show, whatever happened was all behind the scenes at the end of a days filming.
He may well be bigger than the show...He's not bigger than the law . .it was never some pc gone mad thing was it the guy literally smacked someone
AJ Naylor I also commend James May & nutter Hammond
Given Top Gear's current status (w/ Evans), I think Clarkson would say otherwise to the 'Presenter is never bigger than the show' argument.
Regardless of what you think of Clarkson, he assaulted someone in a workplace, not in a bar or at a football match. No one should be assaulted while they are at work. Luckily for Clarkson he has powerful mates and got off lightly by losing his show.
Very true
He would have a got a caution at worst by the police.
friends of the primeminister that basically destroyed this country with that dumb referenedom and was even more corrupt than boris
Clearly some presenters are bigger than the show. I’ve got no idea if Top Gear still exists, but I’m loving the Grand Tour!
If Richard and James stayed on Top Gear, it still would have been good. With only Jeremy on the Grand Tour, the show would have flopped.
"no presenter is ever biggerthan the show" o how wrong she was. He and the other two were the they, they were the reason people tuned in.
george o'connor Exactly, it wasn't the Show that made the People entertaining, it was the People that made the Show entertaining. Based on how "New" Top Gear went, that couldn't have been more true.
TakerKaneanite619 there are DEFINITLEY better people suited to the job than Jeremy clarkson, and chris fucking Evans for that matter
As a sexist, racist homophobe I see nothing wrong with Clarkson. I have never watched his show, but I firmly believe in the right to freedom of speech.
+aTruster That is literally one of the most retarded comments that I have ever read.
Tom Britton If you knew how blessed I am by your comment you'd chop off the fingers that typed it.....thanks.
+aTruster He wasn't sacked for being a sexist, racist homophobe. He was sacked for assaulting a colleague - a subordinate colleague at that.
Frank Galvin Maybe the BBC need to teach subordinates how to duck when they see a fist coming in their direction.
Teaching self-defense isn't in the BBC Charter though, unfortunately. "To entertain, inform..."
Cheek to talk about license payers money when you're supported by the tax payer.
My god who are those dreadful mouthy women! I pitty there partners.
Dimbleby, Hislop and Kennedy however are national treasures!
Yeah, well they would wouldn't they, since they only like fluffy lefties, and a biased audience, and probably dislike men anyway.
petewoodroffemusic you. pity "there" partners!? Not just sexist, but can't even spell properly.
Trillockboy Watson ha ha ha ha ha ha. You are such a joke.
suffolknwhatuk just my opinion Einstein!
petewoodroffemusic You could at least spell your opinion correctly. What does YOUR partner think of your comments, assuming you have one.
Never understood the fascination with the guy who is racist, homophobic and a middle-class bigot...
But he’s a funny racist, homophobic and middle-class bigot.
@@liquidgeorge He isn't. James and Richard were much funnier, and without being as racist, homophobic or bigoted as that orangutan
So over the years he's been sexist, racist and violent but you still sat down with your son to watch it? You should be sacked, lady.
Christoffski .. That was the whole point..... He wasn't PC!
"no presenter is bigger than the show" well that's absolutely proved to be bollocks, wasn't it? Bake Off will go down the same route of abject failure.
They could not afford bake off because of the money lost from top gear.
@Finlay McLaren not where Top Gear is concerned
Viewing this clip today, it's not about Clarkson. It's a clearly unwell Charles Kennedy making one of his last appearances. His comment at the end is poignant.
If you don't like Jeremy Clarkson, youre not English. Its an undisputable fact, because Jeremy is the last great public figure to represent the intrinsically English wit and style, the old-fashioned grumpy dog-person intellectual that has made England so influential in the modern world. He is the heir to John Cleese, and if you don't like John Cleese, again, you are not from England. John Cleese is the heir of Oscar Wilde, and if you don't like Oscar Wilde, again, youre not from England. The sort of person who doesn't appreciate the cultural importance of JC is the sort of Americanized twat who listens to Beyoncé Knowles and Lily Allen, likes Judd Apatow films, reality TV and trash like BBC News, The Inbetweeners and CSI, whio worships political correctness, New Labour, Facebook and iPhones, and who lives for the sole thrill of accusing people of racism. That's not English. Have some respect for the culture of your country.
Also, as much as I like Ian Hislop, I find it a bit odd that both Angus Deaton and Jeremy Clarkson were both sacked from the BBC after appearing on his programme. Especially after he surprised me by not defending his colleague.
Stan Dando That is the kind of argument employed by primary school kids. "I think this, therefore anyone who disagrees is . . . fill the blank with whatever ludicrous generalisation you fancy . . " I agree that Clarkson has a typically British sardonic wit but to say that you're not English if you don't like him is nonsense.
There's a hell of a lot more to English culture than one man's sense of humour.
Stan Dando Englishness is a construct. This post makes no sense. Loving the Hislop conspiracy though- Charles Kennedy died after appearing on HIGNFY- COINCIDENCE? Ian Hislop must be stopped.
Stan Dando I am English. I don't like Jeremy Clarkson. Your logic is as poor as your punctuation.
Stan Dando Well said !
Charles Kennedy died shortly after this. He was a good politician and a good man. May he rest in peace.
RIP Charles Kennedy
I think Jeremy is happy and relieved to be away from the BBC.
Like Ian Hislops comment '..My main objection with this is that the Prime Minister who has'nt got time to debate the main issues of the day -puts out a statement !!'.
Its because the Govt has'nt got a Clue HOW to resolve the main issues which concern English people.Theres just No-one worth voting for -frustrating. Talk about 'running around re-arranging the deck chairs on Titanic'.
Can' understand why all those poor migrants risk drowning trying to reach this heavily listing ship. Cameron & Milliband will be at home among the jellyfish .......
Top Gear WAS Clarkson, Hammond & May - it is now a shadow of its former self. I only watched it occasionally, I now never watch it as I am not paying Amazon Prime for the priviledge.
They don't explain the context. Yes we're aware that he's a bigoted old man from the 80s and that's not acceptable to behave in that manner. Referring to Asians as slanted for example is nothing but empty racist humour. He says controversial things to get attention. It's less that he finds the statements funny themselves but more that it provokes a reaction from people when he says them. He shouldn't be a person of admiration for those reasons.
However, we all overlook the events leading up to his outburst. It was almost exactly a year since his wife of 21 years divorced him. That's on his mind at the time and she's not around to help him. "Help him with what?" I hear you say? The death of his mother. His mother died a few months before the incident with the producer. She died of cancer after fighting with it for 5 years. Shortly before his incident, he got a cancer scare himself, which I can only imagine to be horrific for any person but would be deeply personal to him with his recently deceased mother, which isn't easy, particularly as he was close to her. His 5 month girlfriend at the time had left him and so he had none of his usual supports. Be it his ex-wife who was his rock (21 years, close, his first ex-wife was his best friend and she too was described as his support when they first split), his girlfriend or his mum. He was recovering from smoking and alcohol abuse (put himself in rehab) and that's a constant struggle to overcome and maintain a healthy lifestyle whilst ignoring the cravings.
Then add to all that being old, with a bad back playing up after a day's filming and being told there's no hot meal at the end of it. He flipped. In addition to the punch, it's worth mentioning that he swore and ranted for 40 minutes. That's not mild irritation or child-like annoyance at not having what you want. That's venting. The guy had been put through a lot. It doesn't excuse being violent because the producer didn't deserve anything but it helps us understand why he did what he did.
So for him to lose his job over it, I find it difficult. It conflicts because he is a bigoted old git and is unapologetic about it even when he "apologises" for his misconduct. He just loves the controversy of it. The n***** remark was not planned by him and so was not his usual spiel of saying something deliberately in the moment to gain notoriety. It was old footage and so unplanned by him to garner attention, meaning it was more of an ordeal for him because he didn't mean for it to get out and wasn't part of his usual jollies.
The media really went after him with the track record but they glossed over entirely his state of mind, which I believe caused the outbreak more than anything.
Not a figure of sympathy, i just don't believe he deserved to lose his job over it. Furthermore, I find it baffling that the BBC let their best assets leave subsequently. "No presenter is above the show", Clarkson took Top Gear and turned it from a boring car tutorial/review show into a comedy that became the most successful car show in the world (and I think biggest show in the world also). He wrote nearly everything for it. If he is to be admired at all, it is for being the chief brains behind Top Gear. He wrote everything, including the riffing that he did with Hammond and May with the back and forth. Most of that was pre-prepared by him. It would not be unfair to say that he was the show for many years. May and Hammond did come into it eventually but nobody was involved at the creative level Jeremy was. The proof of the BBC cowing to overwhelming media pressure to sack him was stupidity from a business standpoint. The new Top Gear is abysmal. The ratings prove it. Even without the bias against a seeming replacement for the old trio, it still wouldn't be on a par. Abstractly it wasn't a good show after that. Now the BBC has lost one of it's few big earning products, putting them in a more precarious position for the future.
A clever bigot or a stupid genius. Either way, I don't think the right decision was made. Certainly for the BBC it was the wrong one.
It was double entendre where the humour came from the ambiguity between something innocent and something extremely taboo (in this case a racist word). I think it is slanderous to say he was refering to asians as slanted, which is inacurate. He said "There's a slope on it" [the bridge]. He as much said there is an incline on the bridge (which there was) as much as referring to the Burmese man. The racist interpretation is in the mind of the audience, damned by their own racist idea of associating the term. Other than that you make some valid points, but I will say that neither the joke nor Jeremy Clarkson was racist in this instance, and only by abstraction and not quoting correctly do you condemn him here. It is very disingenuous.
From the title and video thumbnail I was expecting to see Clarkson getting beaten up by Ian Hislop.
Life is full of disappointments
The irony is, the good old BBC sack one of their best presenters, yet they did absolutely nothing about jimmy savile, when everybody working there knew or at least suspected that he was a perverted kiddy fiddler..and worse!!
+Clive Bindley Perhaps since it was harder to prove?
+playingforbritain
Or perhaps the BBC were protecting a kiddy fiddler because they didn't want a scandal?
Yeah, that probably factors in more. I didn't articulate myself very well before - I mean more that the Clarkson assault is harder to deny, really. As with all things definitive, the reasons for it are not.
+Clive Bindley Therefore let Clarkson stay on and not even attempt to improve their record of keeping despicable people employed?
+nathanadair95 The point is that the BBC put Clarkson on "final warning" WITHOUT TAKING STEPS TO KEEP HIM IN LINE. They should have hired a "Clarkson-wrangler" as a bodyguard to keep him in line. It is extremely hard to change your ways if you are older ... and it was obvious that the next incident was just a question of time. They knew it ... or they are too dumb to run such a big company.
Ian Hislop is awesome
2:49 oh, how wrong she was. How well did BBC's new version of top gear go haha
The same should apply to the whole BBC board.
2:18 What utter bullshit, simply throwing words in there. Of all the controversial things he's done on top gear, those aren't significant at all.
Pha! Clarkson IS the show!
This aged like milk
....*Filled -In* ??? That sounds like the sort of thing Jeremy Clarkson might say.
Filled-in indeed
I mean without the trio there is no top gear
Jeremy Clarkson was the show. Question time could really be hosted by anyone.
If you watch the clip David Dimbleby makes the same point. It may be true that "Jeremey Clarkson was the show" but Top Gear was shite and Jeremy Clarkson was shite.
@@EUMmusic Bollocks
@@EUMmusic Not Was ! IS ..
Without Richard or May, Jeremy would have doomed Top Gear if he was at it alone
"Dare I say it, Dengle?... David?".
Haha, Dengle.
No presenter is ever bigger than the show... that comment aged well
You are right, without Richard and May, the show was destined to fall
Kennedy must still have had 1% of his liver functioning here.
“No presenters are bigger than the show”
Boy that aged badly
Yes, the BBC lost the only good show they had. But at the same time, he had to be given the sack, that kind of stuff shouldn't be tolerated. Onwards and upwards.
Clarkson was the show on top gear. So what if he makes offensive jokes? Its in our British culture to do this, little Britain anyone seen it? Its funny. He should not only be kept in top gear but given a free lap dance by the women in this show and a free lifetime pass to playboy mansions.
People like Clarkson and Frankie Boyle were a welcome breath of fresh air in a world where people will express offence at little things. Guidelines kept getting changed, so Clarkson would see how far he could push it and so did Boyle. It's like a kid being told not to do something by a parent and seeing how far he could push the boundaries
Funnily enough Frankie Boyle had absolutely no time for clarkson at all and called for him to be sacked constantly
what has frankie boyle got to do with anything you may not realise it but clarkson isnt a comedian he just called it comedy when it went too far
@@1man1bike1road I thought the same & I completely agree with you
He would have become a national treasure and he would have gotten a knighthood if only he raped a child rather than punching a producer.
None of them answered the question
“No presenter is ever bigger than the show” This aged like a fine wine.
And now hes trotting about on a farm and its a massive hit. The dude is just funny, no matter what show hes on. 🤣
Except his farm is not a hit. The first thing that he did is upset everyone.
@@stephenreeds3672 Idk where you get your info. but Clarkson's farm is pretty big stuff, and millionaire too
@@stephenreeds3672 the fame is massive.
"sexist and racist"? You do understand what a joke is don't you?
+DrewPeacock69 ah, the Bernard Manning response. Doesn't cut it anymore.
alfamonk A joke is a joke though, by definition it is not a serious opinion. The person telling the joke might have the opinion that the joke is correct but the joke itself is a joke.
+alfamonk But Bernard Manning wasn't funny
+DrewPeacock69 But if the joke isn't funny, all that's left is the sexist remark.
teyxen What is not funny to you is funny to someone else. Regardless of how funny something is to you, if it is said in jest, it is a joke.
Its all very sad because the man he assaulted didn't even want his sacking. And his sacking didn't only affect him, it affected his colleagues career also. Not to mention the millions who enjoy the show. I personally think it should've been handled differently. And the statement, "Frankly my dear I do not give a damn," says it rather well since it had truly had absolutely nothing to do with anyone except the people involved. The person attacked did not have him charged and he did not want Clarkson sacked and that would've been good enough for me. In short it should've remained a private matter between the two men involved. End of!
Nice to see the usual balanced, unbiased Question Time panel and audience.
+Derek Dalek ... with the usual time limit for "in-depth discussion" ...
Clarkson getting 'filled-in' is OTT. He's merely receiving some harsh criticism.
The BBC was right to let Clarkson go. He assaulted a co-worker.
That said, Top Gear is rubbish now. Haven't consistently watched it for years.
Clarkson's shows on Amazon seem to be doing well: The Grand Tour and the Farming one.
And while he did wrong - I'd rather watch Clarkson than any of the people on this QT panel. Only one of note is Hislop and he is an opinionated bore these days.
Maybe if some of you and some of the Question Time panel had watched his work on serious documentaries your opinion might change. And for God's sake he is not the producer or director of Top Gear, who edit and decide what is shown or not - he is just the presenter. If you have issue with things that have been broadcast then ask for Andy Wilman's resignation.
He’s earning more money then the BBC
750,000 people think it's acceptable to punch someone at work and still retain their job. Please remove their right to vote as I don't want these people to have any say in running of this country.
Fuck what they say about clarkson, he’s a legend. Imagine doing race jokes and punching someone, something no one has ever done👀
Probably the only person ever to bleed after having a biro thrown at him. Says more about Hislop than Clarkson.
shame there are over 55 millions of us!
'All presenters are dispensible' how wrong can you get in, turns out its the show that dispensible
I wonder what the women on the panel think about sacking him or not, OK I'll watch this......................................................................................well what a surprise that was!! Any chance for people to have a pop at supposed "sexists" and "racists" and it's open season.
How much sympathy and demands for reinstatement would there be if the roles were reversed and the producer smacked Clarkson? Short answer. None whatsoever. You wouldn't see that producer's feet touch the ground as he was escorted out the building. I don't give a shit how popular he was. The simple fact is this. He was on his last chance, and he blew it. Would you keep YOUR job if you were on your last warning and you smacked one of your co workers? I doubt it. Top gear used to be a good show back in the day. Then it turned into a wank fest for people who see a speed limit sign and yell "Oh you want me to double that? Challenge accepted!"
The BBC sacks Clarkson but not Jimmy Saville............MMMMMMMMMM
Capt Hindsight arrives with the obligatory Saville comment.
BBC - Jeremy HAD to go.
Viewers - F*** the BBC we want him here.
Status - 7,000,000 Views have been lost.
I'd complain more if they reinstated the cunt because of that pressure. You have to have principles. Fuck Top Gear. Let it rest in peace til a new and better set of presenters get in there. Fuck Clarkson.
The woman in the red could not be more wrong. Also strange to think this was filmed before Charles Kennedy committed suicide.
3 quarters of one million supporters is a tiny fraction of the UK public
| No presenter is ever bigger than the show
...which is why the new show has been panned by audiences and critics alike for not having the right presenter. Oh no wait.
Natalie Bennett's voice... nails down a blackboard
+colin mclennan She sounds like a hen.
+colin mclennan Awful woman.
I think that Natalie Bennett is really Victoria Wood in character!! And as for Clarkson he's a bloody tv presenter get over it! I have lived my entire life (60 years ) and have NEVER watched Top Gear, it's just a lot of rubbish talked about a nobody!
+Janet Storey
So you have never watched Top Gear, yet here you are on a video about an ex Top Gear presenter,
You say have never watched Top Gear, but you openly state,
"it's a lot of rubbish "..how do you know, having never watched it?
And you're even complaining about the content of the video!
I have to ask, why did you even click on it?
Are you an idiot?
I think my point was that there is far too much talk about Clarkson losing his job, and really Who Cares! It's just NOT Important. I watch this video because I'm a fan of Ian Hislop who says it as it is and always has.
as for top gear being rubbish as I haven't watched it. I was referring to the rubbish being talked about Clarkson getting the sack as if it was a critical situation when clearly not of much importance
+Janet Storey
"I watch this video because I'm a fan of Ian Hislop who says it as it is and always has. "
Same as Jeremy Clarkson then...he's renowned for it.
+Janet Storey
I see you also refereed to Jeremy Clarkson as " a nobody ",
Well Janet the thing is, just because you don't like him doesn't make him a nobody.
He is a well known television presenter, and that's why there was such a lot of attention when he was fired.
And it WAS important to fans of the show who watched it every week.
I hope I'm wrong but I can't see the new Top Gear making anywhere near the profit the old Top Gear did, if any profit at all. This means a lot less money available for most of this lot to make other programs. The Clarkson haters have got what they want but may rue the day when money isn't available for their projects.
The anti JC mob are as sad and whiney as the loser Remainers, and they are probably the ones who complained the loudest to get JC sacked.
Pfft sit down and behave yourself. You just don't get it do you? So I assume then that if someone smacked you in the mouth you would say "No don't discipline him I asked him if he used to watch Top Gear and he said I get my inspiration for team mate bonding from Clarkson" I know you're trying to be edgy but you're failing miserably. And sorry to disappoint you further sonny but i doubt very much the Beeb is about to implode just because it lost a few quid losing ratings on a TV show.
You weren't there, and are just reading what is said in the media. Getting smacked in the mouth would depend on whether I deserved it or not, and JC had had a long day filming, and was rather put out that there was no grub avaiable. No doubt the producer had filled his guts with nice hot food.Anyway, no doubt once you are out at night, and filled up with half a beer shandy, you are probably looking for a fight. So, take your own advice, and sit down and behave, as you mummy keeps telling you to....:)
No presenter is bigger than the show, and here we are a year later, where top gear new presenter quits because he cant live up to the name.
RIP CHARLIE K 😢
If i pay licence fee, i should be allowed to watch top gear if it makes me happy. If you don't want to watch it, turn it over ffs and save your argument with someone that actually gives a flying f**k! Glad the BBC has sacked him, coz now jeremy is making ALOT more money and The Grand Tour is very popular.
He's sexist, he's racist, if he run for parliament you'd be out of the job! XD
We will see what happens with "bake Off".......
poor Charles Kennedy, he looks really bad here, alcohol is a bad drug
The original question was"Can the BBC really afford to lose Jeremy Clarkson,the answer is NO"
_"- I find him to be sexist and racist. . ."_
Erm, what? I mean sexist, maybe at a stretch, but racist? When? I don't count the times that were an obvious media smear campaign.
Get your facts right.
Have you seen the segment with him and that little creep Hammond discussing Mexicans?
Dreadful and about as funny as piles.
Why did that blonde girl speak up just to say things that had already been said?
thank god they sacked Jeremy
Can you explain why the distinction is important in this context? Or did you just want to be a dick?
Geez how am I boring exactly?
Ian may resemble Droopy, but his eyes aren't that low on his cheek.
Ian Hislop's eye is in a strange place...
Is a presenter bigger than the show? Lets check Top Gear viewing numbers...lets see.....oh......
It is only because James and Richard left as well. I checked the other shows that Jeremy (Clarksons farm, Jeremy Clarkson: Meet the Neighours), James (The Reasembler, Man Lab, Oh Cook!) and Richard (Science of Stupid, Brainiac, Wildest Weather) presented. I enjoyed James's and Richard's shows, Jeremy's were tolerable at best. Without the other two, Top Gear with Jeremy alone wouldn't have been good.
Top Gear was the only good program the BBC had now it's all shit and I still have to pay for it.
Like him hate him one things very clear he his very entertaining his top gear program is the biggest selling show on tv fact he exports more tv than the rest of the UK combined crazy fact it's the chemistry between Clarkson may Hammond that cannot be replaced together they compliment each other and produce pure hilarity if not with the BBC they will go else where just the title will change Clarkson has taken his punishment time to move onwards and upwards hislop has been slaging people off for years verbal abuse physical abuse it's still abuse same with piers Morgan .im not justifying what he did .He knows he was in the wrong.
Clarkson is good, but couldnt control his tongue. He even tried to ridicule religion in certain programs. His popularity demanded his respect to others.
Oh no! Not religion! I can't believe somebody would question my precious faith! He should be shot.
Even? Religion is stupid. The sigh of an oppressed people.

If you don't watch or like the show, you don't get a point of view, I'm sorry.
"I thought it was apocryphal." You, sir, are clearly *not* a regular viewer of HIGNFY and Ian showed tremendous restraint in not accosting you ;-)
lovely Charles Kennedy rip
And he should stop getting drunk and hitting Irishmen
Id just like to highlight to the lady in red, Top Gear is clarksons show, he created it and him and the other 2 have made it what it is today (the most watched TV show in the world) but he got the sack which was the best outcome !
He revived TG in 2002 with Andy Wilman
Now cue - QT doing a question on his comments on Megan.
I love that people debate over this and say that Jeremy Clarksons behavior would get anyone else sacked in any other job! what about footballers? they swear on tv constantly, cheat, some are racist, they punch each other and bite each other none of which are anything to do with the sport of football and yet they get away with it and know one bats a fucking eyelid! in the end people love to hate Jeremy Clarkson and this was a panel of such bitter people.
Trust a feminist to say Clarkson is Sexist and Racist, I agree you can have views on Racist, but where does the Sexist part come in?
+craig ratcliffe How can he be anything ... when he insults EVERYONE? Shouldn't that be a clue?
Oh and another thing that might have been a clue is something he said on the show once, where he complained that "you can't say 'you look nice today' to a female co-worker anymore" today ... and he was absolutely correct with that statement, but in the eyes of a feminist clearly sexist.
I guess that presenter was bigger than the show.....
