More like Baron Greenback

Either we've got Clarksons close friends, family and senior Top Gear executives amongst us, or the wild speculation and guess work presented as fact is just hilarious

I'm going out on a limb and suggesting it's the latter.

Gary Lineker was the 'star in a car' for this Sunday's show. He's tweeted 'I don't think I'm ever meant to appear on Top Gear!'

Worse though is this tweet: 'I'm available.' Piers Morgan.

and seems everyone is in on it...

David Baddiel tweeted what he thought was a joke, but ended up showing he can't spell:

'So JC has been suspended following 'a Fracas'. Who makes them, Citreon?'

Baddiel is just dire. I can't believe he still holds the pretension that he's funny.

Good for you. Now, off you jolly well go and solve world poverty before the morn is nigh.

Tally ho, everything forward and trust in the lord and praise be for superheroes...

Harris is a really good jurno - not sure he would/could replace JC in the role he plays.

JC/JM/Hamster will simply continue to make the show but sell it to another channel
Sky
Itv
Ch4
Ch5
Discovery
History channel
Dave

an option would be netflix would work for both.

Think you'll find the Labour Party set a precedent when Prescott punched that eggy lad in the face. "It's just John, being John..."

The Beeb is snugly in bed with Labour, so it's out of order this time.

In case you've forgotten, behold, the Red Baron goes forth...

Unless you work in a very strange environment you must surely realise that there is no similarity whatsoever between someone retaliating to an attack from a random stranger and someone punching a fellow employee.

I know that deep down you do understand this, but clearly it suits you to make this a political issue when it really isn't.

Excellent. I will punch my boss in the face tomorrow and cite the Prescott defence to avoid any repercussions. if I'm suspended it will confirm my suspicions that my employer is in bed with Labour.

it won't work with Chris Evans

Would easily be my choice as a replacement if they sack JC (hopefully not)

I can think of a better one:

New lineup.
Guy Martin.
James Martin.
Steve Martin.

If some of you read The Sunday Times for JC's comments. You would realise the TG presenter is a boy's own character. More important. Does the BBC have the legal right to pull a programme that licence fee payers have paid for and want to see. Still shows TOTP with all of its kiddy fiddlers.

First, the beeb don't show any TOTP shows which feature kiddy fiddlers any more.

Second, programs are pulled all the time for any number of reasons. It's just that most of them don't feature St. Jezza.

He is a very quiet man though, not the sort to turn up for interviews etc, so couldn't imagine him wanting to do it.

Yep Guy martin would be great

Clarkson is well overdue a good kicking - he has been getting away with murder for years. I'm sure he has a god complex. Fat

Got it in one. Well done.

That's a pity. I quite enjoy Top Gear. Oh well.

[celicawrc]

I'm sorry but 'replacements' for Clarkson!? The guy IS Top Gear.

The show would be a pathetic imitation without him, Clarkson's cult following is huge. I love the guys un-pc nature, and his ability to wind up the greens and lefties!

Just start up a new show on another channel with a slightly different name.....would Hammond and May join him though?

What if the "producer" swung first?

95% of your average Sunday-Night viewers would baulk at Guy Martin. Us other 5% would be happy but that doesn't make the idea viable!....

Doesn't matter..I'd join him. I'm more un PC than he is. Tally ho...

Well at least he doesn't call himself a Lord, you don't even know what has happened yet and you want to see him have a good kicking? have a word with yourself
