And what about all the incidents that happen on a bit of grass with two Goals on the end? Suárez the biting creature? That other bloke Gerrard from Liverpool stamping on another players leg that could of resulted in a break? Assault in my book wink You might call it sport but they are also paid employees so why should they be exempt?
Precisely !
Phil Redmond was on r4 the other week talking about fights in green rooms and canteens. Are the police going to investigate that too?

Bitter much?
Beverley Turner

Famous for being st at F1 when it was on ITV and married to the far more talented James Cracknell. Though if you believe her drivel. As the wife she's the one who made him what he is today...

Wonder where the producer will turn up next?

Never heard of Beverley Turner before, however a quick Google images search seems to suggest she could have a career helping sellers in this thread?

I hope that they show all the pre-recorded things from the last three episodes that those three did. I assume there is no contractual problem with doing that as those were made during the contract and they would still get some sort of royalty?

100% photoshopped speculation! I wonder how many people are spreading that round as gospel

Still holding out hope for

A) those last 3 programmes being released somehow - even if only on the series DVD
B) a free to watch channel making a new programme with the same 3 presenters

There's not much that would make me pay for sky, but Top Gear going there would

Assuming that they'd done the editing, voice overs etc. Clarkson said there was still a lot to do, maybe it included sorting out the stuff they'd already shot.

Tonight's episode severely lacking again tonight. Perhaps it really is time to put it to bed?

The shelving of tonight's episode didn't even seem to get a mention/explanation anywhere.
Game over.

Tinfoil hat firmly on

I always remember every single topgear episode ended with either "Goodnight" or "see you next series"


The last one i am sure ended "goodbye"

I watched the middle east special on Dave last night from 8pm - 9.40- very good

Perhaps its better that TG has ended like this with no goodbye etc... not carrying on for too long, ending at the top

I read last night that the BBC are now going back to Clarkson to employ him for Top Gear Live shows as there is a potential fall out of £10m if he is not headlining.

Also they can't name it Top Gear Live as it was not part of the franchise that was sold under the top gear brand.

Interesting if the above is all factually correct.

Doubt it to be honest.

A) clarkson will tell them to do one
B) there will be a fall out from other broadcasting companies that bought the right to this series which now can't be shown as promised.

If they carry on employing him in any way on or off TV it makes a complete farce of sacking him in the first place.
You cannot sack someone because of their behaviour, an then decide to re-employ them when it is convenient!
If they are going to lose 10m because he's not there then thats the BBC's problem, and one they should of taken into account when sacking him in the first place.

Clarkson probably will, but the £10m in ticket repayments for the live shows is just the start especially after the broadcast companies can now very quickly pull the plug on them not offering the Topgear show they paid for.

Don't know that it makes much difference but they didn't sack him, they just didn't renew his contract.
