Clarkson is done.

Moothead2 · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:05

It's been a good run. The only person you can blame though is Clarkson himself.

indeed just heard the news on radio 5, the wording gives me hope he will see out/finish the current season

If he was drunk by the time he got to the hotel, why didn't he buy his own food in the pub?

fatiain · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:09

Well that e-petition worked didn't it?

R.I.P new Top Gear 2002-2015, was a good run

Not sure if it was confirmed that Clarkson punched a colleague or not as I have not been following the news. If he did, though, this is absolutely the right call.

There is a cracking spoof youtube vid of Clarksons waiter on a chat show. So funny. Literally the funniest thing to do with Top Gear in the last 10 years

ubersonic · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:12

The BBC must now look to renew Top Gear for 2016

Jono8 · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:14

Renew Top Gear? It is finished. They will be wasting their time.

Rybo89 · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:14

Sky will be happy.

drs101 · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:14

good, I like him but he should not be able to behave any way he wants without consequence.

It has just been confirmed that he did: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32054004

A member of staff - who is a completely innocent party - took himself to Accident and Emergency after a physical altercation accompanied by sustained and prolonged verbal abuse of an extreme nature.

Burned_Alive · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:17

The irony of this is that Oisin Tymon will get even more abuse now.

ElliottJames · 25 Mar 2015 at 14:17

It's all over, hope the producer never finds a job again.
