    There wasn't some massive fight with 30 punches going back and forward or anything.
    Yeah just read up on it (was away in Belgium boozing). Definitely not worth police time. If it was serious damage then it would be likely, but this wasn't worthy of it.

    Well if I'm completely honest I think the BBC took the right action, it's the same if I punched one of my colleagues - I would be sacked. I don't understand why people were trying to defend that foul mouthed man!

    Apparently the contracts of May and Hammond have ran out now?

    Tbh Clarkson should have been sacked for a punch up, but we all know the Beeb was dying to get rid of him for ages.

    They were all running out at the same time near enough. And it was only more recently where they removed all of the presenters from the banner at the top of the: http://www.topgear.com/uk/ and replaced it with just The Stig.

    They'd been using a lot of tough rhetoric like 'final warning', but that was just to get the tabloids to shut up about unsubstantiated claims of using the word ****** in a take that Clarkson had intentionally pulled due to that ambiguity - in reality they had no intention of getting rid of someone who was a substantial part of the 300m viewership that Top Gear provided.

    I wouldn't say that exactly. The BBC made a lot of threats towards Clarkson but they were empty. Many of his warnings were based on internal investigations which quite often came back as "within guidelines". Other issues which were off camera such as the N word were private and not seen by the general public - but angry individuals with very little to do with their time decided to react. It's similar to when Jonathan Ross was kicked out for what happened to Andrew Sachs. Barely anyone actually heard it happen live, but people felt the need to complain when clips came out.

    Oh sure they kept him there for the money but I think given attitudes at the BBC they'd have loved to have sacked him in the past.

    Well what do you expect, when they let them continue the Live shows without the BBC brand but still reap in the cash. Two faced, sold-out *******s is what I say. You can't expect to make a statement with that action, then say...well actually.

    This whole thing was ridiculous, an exec linked his case to Saville's, are you joking me. Also, you can search for Hollywood celebrities who've been involved in fights with numerous members of their crew yet it never comes out to the mainstream media.

    One thing is for sure, Top Gear is dead, he and his producer made the format and sold it to the Beeb a few years ago. He is the genius behind the whole re-vamp. Look at the Aussie, Russian etc. versions of Top Gear, they flopped. The format doesn't make the show solely, the whole thing, particularly the presenters do. That's a fact. Another fact- last time Jeremy left, the ratings went down the barrel. Google it.
