Damn it! It appears to be official, Clarkson out and Top Gear is no more

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Mar 25 '15, 07:08

They can try other people but that show is those three guys and no one else. What a shame to lose such a great show. I'm mad at Clarkson and the BBC.

He put the guy in hospital, and then the producer got death threats from 'fans' even though he never reported the incident, Clarkson reported it. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:18 7
- The producer seemed to blow it off like it wasn't a big deal at all and had tweeted that he never said anything, someone else did. I don't get blaming - Krusty Mar 25, 07:24 4
  - The show hasn't been axed. Have I Got News lost it's 'irreplaceable' host and it's still going 10 years after that. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:31 3
    - I don't know that show to compare them. My feeling is it's done. Without those three I have no interest. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. - Krusty Mar 25, 07:38 2
      - Only one of them has been fired though. HIGNFY survived 10 years by having a different host every week. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:45 1
        
        I think there's no way Hammond and May stay with the show without Jeremy. I just don't see it. Sure, he ruined it all with this awful actions but - Krusty Mar 25, 07:52
- Although reading the details 'hospital' was a visit to A&E, rather than being admitted. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:23 1
  - Right. It was a quick check and he was released. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:25
If he put his hands on an employee, I'm mad at him. That's a fireable offense in just about everything. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:08 6
- Yup. No excuse for that at all. He just cost a whole crew and both fellow presenters their jobs. - TWuG Mar 25, 07:10
- I agree but I was hoping they could find a way to punish him without losing the show. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:10 4
  - If his compatriots wanna walk over him assaulting someone, fine. Top Gear might suffer, but I'd argue that brand is stronger than - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:17 3
    - The show is done. The brand is huge but it's worthless without those three. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:19 2
      - I ain't reading where the show is done from that; just that the dick lost his job. - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:23 1
        
        Lots of assholes are entertaining. He is the show. There's no show without him. They can try other hosts but it will never be close to the same. - Krusty Mar 25, 07:28
