Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon's just released a statement about Jeremy Clarkson not having his contract renewed.

 

 

 

 well there you go - no one is infallible 

 

next time he might eat the cold cuts and not winge where his steak is 

 

 

Piers Morgan is available apparently   and Chris Evans is bookies favorite to tack the helm if it continues 

"For me a line has been crossed. There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations."

 

Shame they didn't abide by this during the Saville years.. but lesson learnt now I suppose, no one is so big they can get away with such continued bad behaviour.. If the programme is so popular am sure new presenters will do just as well and maybe have less of the thug like quality about them..  that's if its fans are really interested in the car stuff and if not good riddance to it and the dinosaur presenting it 

I love Top Gear- its an hour of daftness when you can just shut off from your worries and laugh at their stupid antics. The unique chemistry between the three presenters wouldn't work with a replacement i.m.o.

 

Jezza has been pushing it for a while. If he actually caused an injury to someone requiring a visit to A + E... well theres no coming back from that  It sounds like there was drink involved which partly explains but doesn't excuse it. 

It was the only option really he went too far,good riddance,no doubt he'll be off to Murdochs place soon.

James May twitter,

 

"A former TV presenter"  

One things for sure - it will be repackaged and presented in a new format.

it's huge BBC money spinner but possibly without any of the three presenters

 

Very close to my thoughts on the programme and incident.

 

Such a shame he has stuffed it up as it is massively popular and a big earner for the BBC. The three of them are the show in it's current incarnation, it will not be the same going forward.

 

I hope Chris Evans does not become a presenter as I find him a bit of an irritant, although he is a petrolhead.

 

Bring back Quentin Willson.

 

 

 

 

 Velvy

 

Not Jay Kay pleeeeeez or Evans 

Hope all three current presenters leave and go elsewhere as a trio and do the same show ... maybe on SKY or better still ITV

A&E for a split lip...really?

 

Is JC suddenly Iron Mike Tyson?

 

No wonder the A&E department of hospitals in this country are under such strain with time wasters like that producer guy...Ocean Breeze, or whatever his name is.

But A&E?   a tissue and a glass of whisky should be enough to overcome a punch from a middle aged bloke.

He didn't know what damage had been done though. He could've had broken bones or anything

Let's hope this is not the defining moment of his career

 

Onward and upward Mr C

Surely you'd know if there were any broken bones...he only had a split lip, not much chance of a broken bone there.

 

I bet you anything a BBC executive told that producer to go to A&E and to make a big deal about it, in order to really put the screws on Clarkson.

I know the area where the incident took place and would love to know which A&E the unfortunate victim attended. Extra kudos to him for not reacting under current cultural rules especially now, after mucho speculation, we know that Clarkson acted in a bullying sort of manner. 

The rest of us weaker minded males would have retaliated by kicking the twat in the 'Nads. If I may say so.

(I'm retired)

the nearest A&E department is miles away. The hotel concerned is out in the sticks.

 

Your answer is here Mr Jer http://www.telegraph.co.uk/mot...-him-lazy-Irish.html

DID YOU KNOW ...

 

Jeremy Clarkson was one of only 2000 people invited to Margaret Thatcher's funeral  

Wiki says,

He believes that the "eco-mentalists" are a by-product of the "old trade unionists and CND lesbians"

 

 

GJ, you surprise me, the arrogant, pompous git threatened to get the producer guy sacked, ranted and raved at him, called him a 'lazy Irish cnut' and punched him in the face....all because he got to the hotel late after a session and the producer had only arranged cold food for him, rather than steak and chips, presumably because the kitchens were closed. That's not what I call a fight, it's what I call someone  powerful thinking they can treat people how the hell they like and get away with it. And you would have represented Clarkson in that scenario

Let's be fair! It was all speculation and bits of info were leaking through. Yes! As a rep I had to represent all sorts of wrongdoers from those accused of assault to petty misdemeanours. In those days it was us against the boss class.
Besides us old fashioned trade unionists and CND lezzas should stick together but.
*runs LF* etc.


Enjoy your day off!

Only replacement I could possibly think of 'working' as a trio is ANDY WILMAN who already works for Top Gear and has always been a good presenter

http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/1139819916001

We do  And Clarkson, in this scenario, is the 'boss class'

Had a very nice day thanks, bit of pottering/doing jobs, bit of 'girly things' shopping in Yarm, then garden centre off Route 66 for some spring planter bargains: Mother's Day stock half price 

Have you lot not heard of "What have you done today" thread?

 

*storms off ... somewhere*

 . . .and back

 

In March 2004 at the British Press Awards, he swore at Piers Morgan and punched him before being restrained by security; Morgan says it has left him with a scar above his left eyebrow.

 

Oh dear - not good

 

I can now reveal that I popped into a garden centre off Route 67 early this morning after I dropped Mrs Jer off at the big railway station.
Our quest to grow hollyhocks continues. I'll tell you all about it on the "What have you done today? Later on like.

WRT a replacement to Clarkson: we were discussing this during a "team-building" lunch at work today, and the overwhelming favourite was Guy Martin.

One of the advantages we identified was that bringing in a motorbike aspect would add interest to the show.

Not sure if he's currently committed to C4, though...

Not side burn Sid

 

TG was/is traditionally anti-bike

Before you accept that JC was right to have been sacked - read this ...

 

http://www.theguardian.com/med.../24/broadcasting.bbc

i am happy that he has been sacked, can't stand the twunt and can now finally watch top gear if it comes back, unless of course David Dickinson or John McCririck are the new presenting team

 

if they do re-unite and start another show, i hope Sky outbid ITV cos I haven't got Sky

Or you can change channels?

As long as the eejit Clarkson stays off QI, I'll be happy.

 

I would be very surprised if any broadcaster takes the three of them for a show as they can't copy the Top Gear format which is owned by the BBC and to be fair, the format as it stands is what the three of them do. Anything else I suspect would not work.

 

If Sky do pick them up for one reason or another I hope the three of them fleece Sky for as much cash as they can get.

Express March 18th

 

Meanwhile, Richard and James May were reportedly the only two people to witness the alleged attack on Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon by their co-star Jeremy Clarkson.

One source told The Mirror: "It happened outside the hotel, with just the four of them there.

"When Jeremy hit Oisin, Richard and James grabbed him to stop him from going in again."

 

So were they called to give statements?

 

"Were you there?"

"No"
