Sundays will never be the same, although I suspect this will only make JC even more popular as do those who whinge about his racism.

The BBC has lost all its sports coverage over the years to satellite channels, and it looks like Top Gear is about to go the same way. Now where's Stuka when you need him?

Sacked ? Is that all ? Should be doing 30 years hard labour.

The BBC needs to clean up its image after a multiplicity of scandals. Gone is its erstwhile reputation for objectivity and standards. This presenter would seem like a good place to start.

We'll see for how long it lasts...

The BBC are stuck in the 19th century as well as another place I should mention which would get deleted. Name any other business which gets £145.50 from just about every household in the UK to produce the blandest of bland.

As already said, the BBC lost every televised sporting event on the planet because they can't compete with satellite channels. If the UK licence fee was scrapped, the entire BBC would go bust in days.

According to this Wiki copy and paste, Top Gear is broadcast in 170 different countries with 350 million viewers per week. I find it repetitive and boring, but if the BBC want to scrap their only program anyone watches, I wish them luck

But then who would prepare the British public for the inevitable nuclear showdown with the evil Russians?

Sky TV bought the rights to that too, but as ever you can watch the highlights on BBC2 and iPlayer at 1.05am the following day.

Really! JC getting the boot, nah it just is not gonna happen, he is a bore and the whole thing should be renamed the Jeremy Clarkson ego trip but compared to the other two he is the driving force even though he cocks things up left right and centre.
Used to enjoy the show but its all a bit samey these days and hen will he ever stop Saying, LIKE THIS!!

Some say he is a plonker of the first order,and they will be spot on!

Jeremy Clarkson physically assaulted a work colleague. Some people say this was a small incident. No, it was not. It was an act of unacceptable violence.
We all need to go to work without the fear of being abused or bullied. The BBC was right to sack Clarkson. I hope the million people who signed the petition to keep Clarkson in his job are never scared or intimidated by other people's actions in the workplace. We need people on our televisions that all generations can look up to and lead by example. People like Clarkson must be expected to act in a responsible way, but he abused his celebrity and therefore deserved the consequences.
I expect the outcome of this sad affair will be that another media organization lacking good principles will snap up Clarkson with the aim of improving its profits.
Fortunately for Clarkson, the Top Gear producer, Oisin Tymon, attacked by him has said he does not want to press charges against Clarkson.

Hod,

That's why I said we 'need' people on TV to be role models.
