I’m so sorry. Finding people talking about cars on a post about Top Gear must have been troubling for you. Lets go back to the presenters dress sense since you’re more comfortable with that topic Jeremys dress sense is awful
It is ironic that the topic ( rightly ) turned into an argument as to wether ‘Hybrids’ etc etc are just an overcomplicated expensive silly con based on smoke and mirrors to appease the greens like those who run the BBC.Or that Clarkson was or wasn’t gagged in the I8 episode regards same.Or that Clarkson has probably finally snapped when he could no longer stand being told what to say by the stalinist green control freaks.
Thats all well and good Carry but what do you think of the presenters dress sense!? A far more pressing concern it seems.

Now I get it the question isn’t wether he tried to punch the producer’s lights out because he was fed up with the green party script.It was all about what he was wearing when he did it.
In which case if it was jeans and Doc Martens then he’s toast.As opposed to a suit and tie.

There’s nothing off topic in discussing all the possible points related to the question.
On that note yes it probably is the end of Top Gear.But not because Clarkson allegedly might or might not have punched someone in just the same way that punching someone wasn’t the end of Prescott’s political career let alone the Labour Party.
It seems quite clear that the programme has been subjected to a continuous downgrading of its TV time allocation by way of ever increasing rationing of episodes.In which case it is a reasonable bet that the BBC had no intention of going through with this year’s supposed allocation let alone the future guarantee of keeping the programme going in a credible way.
The reasons for that being political in that any pro motoring ( especially the type of enthusiast motoring that Top Gear was/is/should be all about ) are totally contrary to the leftist green agenda which has infiltrated the supposedly unbiased neutral BBC.
The proof of that being that there was nothing actually stopping the BBC from still going through with the scheduled episodes with or without Clarkson with or without a stand in or replacement presenter like Perry McCarthy,Harry Metcalfe,Chris Harris,Jason Plato,or Alain De Cadanet amongst other relevant presenter possibilities.Such a change might even be a benefit in getting the series back on a more serious car orientated track.As opposed to daft irrelevant stunts.That would of course mean going even further against the leftist green cause though.
I saw a few names being bandied around today as possible replacements. Rowan Atkinson and Chris Evans were two that I reckon would be good. I think it’ll continue with a new presenter. And it could succeed if its someone with a strong enough personality of their own and not simply someone who’ll try (and inevitably fail to) copy Clarkson
Oh yes I know who could do it. That bloke on Facebook who does cooking in his truck. Great he is. Apart from the time he had a hissy fit when he couldn’t get his satnav to work when getting off the boat at Cairn Ryan. Oh the drama I need my sat nav to drive the next 100 miles.
Still He has got great dress sense. He wears those super dry polo shirts. They’re really brill. And he like hats. And sun glasses.

your such a tease
Or at least he would be if he was any good at it…
He bemoans it going off topic then right after drags it off topic himself. Good work Happysack.
Dont remember the Cairnryan satnav event, dont even use a satnav anymore and almost never ship Cairnryan. But thanks for watching. If indeed it was me you were watching. Boots opticians are good value I hear. In which case I should probably have made this bigger for your failing peepers. Ah well.
Top Gear has got to the stage where it is just 3 middle aged guys dicking around, a bit like Last of the summer wine with Ferraris…but I love it
I’m sure I heard that both May and Hammond’s contracts were up for renewal, so as somebody already has said, I reckon Sky has already offered them, and Clarkson a package to move, Top Gear on a Sky TV budget will be even better I reckon, so all is not lost I would say.
Thats falls down in so much as the BBC own the rights to Top Gear and probably have certain aspects of it fairly locked down. I wonder if Clarkson regrets selling them yet

I reckon that there would be ways and means of getting around that obstacle. A different name would be the essential aspect of it if only for legal reasons.
If the name "Clarkson’’ was in the new title for example, the new programme would indicate it’s content to viewers immediately, and as long as it was done in a slightly different way to Top Gear, and not a clone copy, and that point was emphasised by the 3 presenters I can’t see a problem.

As I said in a previous post in this thread. It’ll be written somewhere that he can’t do something for a certain time scale probably 2 or 3 years
