Jeremy Clarkson suspended from BBC

He's obviously got some support. There is a petition on change.org to "bring back Clarkson" and unless it's fake it is gaining about 700 signatures a minute.

Hardly surprising when it has an audience of 350million world wide.

Either way this is good PR for top gear - ultimately they will "kiss and make up" and bring JC into even more popularity.

Depends on who the newbie is and if they refresh the format. The reason I don't watch is I think JC is a tit and Hammond is annoying and the format is stale. Bring in Chris Harris and him and Captain Slow could actually have a decent show that focuses on the actual technology and engineering. But then it would lose the meathead population that tune in to watch three morons slide about in fast cars.

People don't care about serious though, that's why Chris Harris' YouTube channel has about 160,000 subs and the mightycarmods lads, who mess about and rarely do serious, have over a million more than that.

Essentially, you want Top Gear to become a niche YouTube channel, obviously the BBC would rather have something that brings in ratings and sells worldwide for vast sums of money

Because MCM appeals to meatheads (and I say that as someone who watches it). Chopped mate. Chopped.

90% Publicity Stunt, 10% Storm in a Tea-Cup.

This pretty much, whilst to show is popular, that's mainly due to the general lack of decent TV.

This has PR stunt written all over it.

You really like your stereotypes...

Stereotypes are funny because they're true. Now if you'll excuse me I have some buckfast to drink and police to throw bricks at.

So you class all viewers of Top Gear as meatheads?

You seem to have taken the meathead quip quite personally, so since you personally attacked me and called me a *****, I'm going to say yes. All viewers of Top Gear are meatheads and I hope it causes you more distress and sleepless nights.

Meathead

An enormously muscular guy who cannot hold a conversation about anything other than weight-lifting and protein shakes.

Where are the sliding cars?

I called you a Cactus

... No I just think people that attack others and label them for their viewing a program says so much about the person. So if you read back you attacked everyone that viewed Top Gear with your blanket statement

As for the distress and sleepless nights. Cool thanks

What do you think Meatheads drive? In America it's 5 litre mustangs. In Europe it's BMW 330s.

Good for you. Nobody cares about your holier than thou attitude and pretentious pseudo psychology of what you think someones comments on the internet says about them. It would almost be as ridiculous as someone claiming that what people watch says about them.

Cool I'm a weight lifter, like protein, and can slide cars - what does that make me?

I drive a 3.5L V6 - so not quite a 5L mustang - but time will come.
