I see ITV, Sky and Ch4 have all shut the door on Clarkson too.
Is that from solidarity with the BBC, the fact he is an absolute whopper - or the fact he punched a co-worker and was fired from his last job ?
Meanwhile the producer has also walked. A life-long school buddy of Clarkson.
Somehow I dont think May and Hammond will be so quick to bolt for the door, they are on cushy numbers - and if they bring in a good replacement, it could breathe new life into the tired show.
Personally, I find it quite boring to watch. Bland, middle-class tossers driving ridiculously expensive (for what they are) super cars. It was worth a watch years ago, but other TV shows have left them for dust.
