He was built very much like James Caan at that age. Especially around the shoulders.

I'm not sure he doesn't just have an extremely narrow skull, making his shoulders looks wider

Punched Piers Morgan and now some office nerd this guy needs to start lifting weights to get some of that latent agression out.

Doesnt really matter, he along with May and Hammond have made a truck load of cash from Top Gear.

He is financially secure.

You are missing something though:

Walt Disney has been quoted, "I don't make films in order to make money....I make money in order to make film."

I suspect Clarkson, May, and Hammond are similarly motivated.

R.I.P Top Gear. The best car show ever.

Welcome to the BBC. Rape all the children you like, just don't punch a producer.

I agree thats what Walt Disney wanted. I doubt the same applies to Clarkson and co.

Firstly Clarkson sold off all his remaining shares in Top gear to the BBC for a nice multi-million pound lump sum.

If he wanted to stay in control, and continue to puruse his passion, it would have made more sense to keep his share in Top Gear, rather than cash in for short term profit. Royalties would have rolled in for years to come, instead all profits go to BBC now.

Hammond is fairly well known for doing anything to make a quick buck. He will put his name to anything if the money is right.

May, portrays an old school british nerd type, but from most people who have met him said, its just a portrayed character and he is generally a miserable cu#t. He does his routine and gets a few spin off series off the back of it.

Clarkson made the cash as an owner of the brand, Hammond and May had a nice little earner riding on Clarksons coat tails.

Clarkson is popular. He'll easily find work elsewhere.

Top Gear had gone stale for the past few years anyway. It was probably best to call it a day.

I think Top Gear has gone a bit stale in some respects, but it is vastly successful. Its not a car review programs and hasnt been for a long time. Someone else can still fill that gap.

With all their money, nothing to stop Clarkson, May and Hammond from going off to create a new program and call it Top Wanking or something.

That body is the genetic formula for success in life. If you correlated successful people with that physique you would find on average, most billionaires have that body, minus the knock knee's that clarkson has.

Yes, cancelling the worlds most watched show is always a good idea.

I'm not saying it was a good idea to cancel it, just saying that the last few series have been pretty shit anyway.
It become too scripted and predictable, some of the setups were embarrassingly phony. It had lost the creative edge which made it so good in the first place.

Wheeler Dealers has been a better car show recently.

I'd agree the setups were so phony. The one a few weeks ago where they were racing their customised ambulances, it was obvious they were just driving round and round and up and down the same two roads in an industrial estate.

I've been watching Wheeler dealers too, also the classic car show with former Top gear presenter Quentin Wilson. He was always pretty good, but they paired him with Jodie Kidd and they seemed to be too forced and scripted themselves. He is better on his own.

Top Gear’s peak was around 2002 – 2007. That’s when everything seemed original and fresh. It also appeared to be almost entirely unscripted so the situations in which the trio got themselves into were unpredictable and genuinely funny.
It’s been on the decline since. Now, everything just seems to be acted out. Nothing appears fresh anymore and it’s become far too obvious that the guys are just playing a character, rather than being themselves.
It still had it’s moments but those moments were becoming increasingly rare.

Anyway, Clarkson’s relationship with the BBC has always been rocky. Clarkson was a politically incorrect right winger employed within an organization that is very liberal at its core. It was purely the popularity of Clarkson and Top Gear that kept the relationship going.

yeah he was at odds with the liberal ways of the BBC. Much like the british political system, I suspect he will be gone for a little while until everybody forgets, and then he will be welcomed back into the fold at a later date.

I've been watching Top gear since the days of Chris Goffey, they have had loads of presenters over the years. Tony Mason was on Top gear for 15 years, Wilson for over ten. Whether Clarkson comes back or not the brand will continue on without him.
