Well that's something for zcorpian88 to debate not Clarkson.

No? I didn't realise he was a maker of documentaries.

he has made a series of first class films about Brunel, Operation Market Garden, the Raid on St Nazaire and the relief convey that sailed to Murmansk in 1942 which was left to be destroyed by the German military due to Allied bungling. Inventions That Changed the World was also good.

Or people just genuinely like him/the show. Not everything is a big conspiracy, ya know. People forgot this is one of the most popular TV programmes around at the moment..

He presented/narrated them I think you might mean.

I heard on the radio that Clarkson was filming in Newcastle and had a fit because his grub wasn't ready when filming finished, is this true?

He made them in the same way David Attenborough made Frozen Planet.

I was expressing my disagreement with zcorpian88, not inviting Clarkson to debate with me.

Here's Clarkson being none to pleased by being the subject of a prank.

World is getting far too PC, we need the old dinosaurs like Clarkson to keep it real and keep television from getting as boring as it's getting lately, he only says what most people would think but he doesn't keep it to himself and puts a funny spin on it.

That bint Katie Hopkins is way worse, her remarks are just annoying and off-putting and aimed at rising people and she's on every fecking programme lately, where Jeremy would use some wit and general humour.

If Clarkson quits Top Gear and it gets axed, I'm done with tv, one of the few good shows still on, I love the specials especially.

Wheer the **** does PC come into it? No probelm with what he says, but you can't call PC the moment he starts hitting people!

Which is to say he didn't make Frozen Planet. I'm sure David Attenborough would be the first to make it clear that he's a presenter who has led a charmed life.

If Clarkson leaves he takes the show with him. His company makes it for the BBC. And ITV, C4 will only gladly snap it up.

He wrote the script and was the instigator of the Brunel film for example. He wrote and presented Greatest Raid of All Time (St Nazaire), PQ17 An Arctic Convoy Disaster, The Victoria Cross: For Valour (operation Market garden).

He seems to be in the middle of a divorce from a wife he is never seen in public with anymore, an ex-wife who claims they were at it whilst he was married to the new wife. He was also apparently caught having an affair when in Australia.

He's plenty of reasons to be stressed, lost the head with some asst producer for not having a dinner out.

Doubt he's the first star to lash out at a lacky! That's showbiz innit.

I used to be a fan of the show but feel it's lost it's way in recent years. I reckon they should keep him on the payroll to make the specials. The studio part is usually pretty bad but the location stuff is interesting.

Clarkson and Wilman sold Bedder 6 to the BBC so they own Top Gear.

David Attenborough is an actual trained zoologist. So no.

Not a fan but saw a few episodes years back when the housemate was watching. Do they still rant on about climate change being made up, and laugh at electric cars?

Oisin Tymon. He has worked on Top Gear for years in various roles, eventually becoming a producer.

It's odd, because it's not like it's some new kid the Clarkson took a dislike to, they've worked together for years.

I'd even go as far as to say it was messing about that either got out of hand, or a BBC bean counter took exception to.

Hopefully.

He must be trying to get fired.

He tried everything else and just resorted to violence when everything else failed.

Maybe he has something else lined up and he can't quit to join a rival or something.

Electric cars have a habit of overstating their range and their carbon offset to begin with is massive. They take years to become more 'evironmentally friendly' than traditional combustion engines.

Yes, they're as scientifically illiterate as ever.

Who doesn't.


Actually clarkson fell in love with the new BMW i8 hybrid yes it's true .

But after having it for a week he claimed it's nearly there .
And only gets 30 mpg not the 100+ mpg BMW are claiming
