Jeremy Clarkson suspended

Anyone hear Mark Evans on the Anton Savage show yesterday.

He definitely said his name was in the mix to co present.

Personally I like to see him along with Ed China on the show. I'd actually start watching it ( if we had TV, presume it won't be online)

You'd be able to get it on the iPlayer, I presume, with a proxy.

From the ever reliable Popbitch:

>> Pissed-on heads <<
The man with a golden gun

Jeremy Clarkson's temper
tantrums were so frequent
at Top Gear, claim some
production staff, that they
developed a code for his moods.
If things ever reached a 'CC4'
('C*nt Com Four') then you'd
know not to approach him under
any circumstance – even if it
was urgent.

Given that he punched a man
over a bad dinner order, we
can only imagine how Clarkson
would place on the C*nt Com
scale if he ever found out
that irked crew members had
taken to pissing in the water
pistol that he used to spray
himself down with to keep
cool when filming in the
southern states of America.

FYI: Dealing with May and Hammond,
they say, was much easier.

It seems now that the presenters are unable to present or take part in any similar show for at least two years.

Are you at all interested in the difference between Imperial measurements and the Old British Apothecaries Units?

CLARKSON, along long with co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond, aren't allowed to work on a similar show on UK TV for two years.

They have a very good track record, loads of connections.

BBC 3 are still showing Top Gear which I find strange. Maybe they don't have anything else to show?

One of those things that, though you don't really believe it, you really wish it was true.

They will be back on TV in a couple of years once their quarantine is over.

I presently have Amazon Prime to cut down on shipping costs, so the streaming service comes free

According to Engadget and WSJ; There could be a deal to make the show available to local broadcasters where Amazon Prime is not available.

Nah

Don't think so, past their sell-by.

Yesterday's men , on the way out.

My VPN probably believes that I'm somewhere else.

You'll have to wait a little longer I'm afraid before you're dream comes true, Brendan. Amazon certainly don't think so. And they're no mugs. And they've given him full editorial control. So this'll be the bbc show on steroids. And according to amazon 'a substantial investment'

You've still got that hard on for wanting to see Clarkson, May, and Hammond fail, don't you?

Did you not read the bottle? If erection lasts for more than 4 hours, please consult a doctor.

Just my opinion, just my opinion.

Been gone too long now and appearing on some obscure medium won't do them any good.

Beginning of the end for the lads, will never be the same again.

Clarkson blew it by assaulting that work colleague.

Harry Palmr

Did you know 139 of your 900 posts is about Clarkson?

Move on

I saw an episode of TG recently where they drove across the Mid East in run down sports cars. An utterly futile exercise that established nothing about the relative merits of sports cars. TG is only a lads road trip with unlikely vehicles. It did very well as that and the new one will too. Should be on Dave or something though.

People say that as if it's some sort of shocking revelation, when in fact it's the precise reason the show is so popular. It's not a new observation.

The truth is there's no real need for a indepthly informative motoring show these days. Anyone wanting precise technical details of cars has easier access to it now more than ever through the internet.

Top Gear is/was an entertainment show first and foremost. I never watched it because I was overly interested in cars anyway.

You can either love or hate Clarkson, but there's no denying that he and the other two have a great chemistry on screen, and produce something that many people find entertaining.

True enough, but they are has-beens now due to their absence from the screens as a result of Clarksons arrogance and assault.

Confined to some obscure streaming medium their viewership will decline and they will sink into oblivion.

Won't be the same in my opinion.
