TG is basically dead without Clarkson but thank god the other two had expiring contracts as well because now all 3 can create a new show on another platform.

i believe the other 2 said they would not continue on the show if he's sacked.

who knows if they'll go through with that though, after all they May and Hammond do have a whole slew of shows that they film for the BBC (aka $$$)

Don't think so. Jeremy and another producer sold the rights to the show to the BBC in 2012and I bet he has a do not compete clause in his contract.

^ wouldn't the contract be terminated if he (clarkson) was terminated? Im sure he can work ways around the clause.

BBC can't win here
they sack him, they'll lose the show and a substantial revenue for years to come
they don't sack him, it'll demonstrates Clarkson can carry on his childish behaviour as they already gave him a final warning prior to being suspended. If they do keep him, I think the animosity between the presenters and the higher ups will just get worse and they'll bound to have another fall out soon after.
Clarkson isn't too far off from Kanye; apologizes for his actions only to talk smack about it on some talk show/charity event a week later.

whatever the outcome is, i think it's safe to say TG will never be the same after this incident.

It doesn't work like that. If someone high up at Intel gets fired the person can't just get a job at AMD.

The DJ suggested as a replacement says no thanks

Also Clarkson says he hasn't heard a thing

Jeremy Clarkson: 'I haven't heard a thing' - BBC News

BBC announced this morning that they won't be renewing Clarksons contract

http://transmission.blogs.topgear.co...t-on-clarkson/

so what's left worth watching? top gear korea? but they will have to find their own material since they just use the same format as the uk show.

Fuuuuuuu end of an era I guess

too soon jr :toot:

if hamster and slow stays I will probably still watch it. BBC should ask rowan atkinson to join the them.

They could rotate a guest host each week. Instead of doing the celebrity interview, have them the host. Hamster and the captain could have guest hosts like jay Leno, Chris Evans, Rowen atkinson, Chris Harris, etc etc etc

I'd watch that

there was talk of chris evans filling in. is that not happening or just speculation?

I heard that was a rumor that Chris himself denied.

Top Gear Presenter James May Reacts To Jeremy Clarkson Being Sacked By BBC
 

That's the greatest explanation to anybody being fired. "They shot him"

The end of that video is such a "dawwwwwww" moment... Real shame

:rukidding:

BBC's even stupider than I imagined.

This Oisin Tymon guy will forever be remembered as the clown who ruined Top Gear, regardless of whether it was his fault or not. He could go on to solve world hunger or become more famous than kim kardashians ass, but forever more, the first line in his wikipedia profile will read:

I kinda want to organize a cruise in honoring clarkson, and our move beloved motoring show... anyone down?

inb4 british tabloid headline: Oisin killed by top gear fan

Please just do the P1, 918 & LaFerrari match up :P

As much of a Top Gear fan we all are, don't blame BBC, blame Clarkson. It was his stupidity that ultimately led to this situation. He was well aware he was on a final warning so you'd think he'd be conscious to be on his best behaviour but no. Reading the report, he behaved barbarically and we'd be blinded by our bias for the show to be supporting such actions.
