Clarkson is such a tool, they should just sack him and bring a new team in.

In my opinion it wouldn't work well without him , it'd be like Bon Jovi without Jon, U2 without Bono or Queen without Freddie it would be such a loss that it would never be as good as it once was, to many people Clarkson is what makes Top Gear.

Sadly this could be the end of classic top gear as it gets snapped up by some Sky channel and filled with God Damn adverts.



I expect the greenies and lefties are jumping with joy.

Oh well when they replace him with Sandi Toksvig (Single mother+ lesbian + immigrant) at least Hammond will no longer be the shortest on the show

I'd like to see Chris Harris take over. He can jibber jabber as much as Clarkson and actually can drive a car.

Even when at Performance Cars the joke was he couldn't bloody drive the things and was more suited to a funny photoshoot of him trying to fit into a Suzuki Cappuccino.

If they put Chris in they could call it Top Gear On Cars, which would be a novel spin considering.

Or Alan Partridge. Now Alan Partridge would be a brilliant replacement. He met Jackie Stewart once.

Love him or loathe him Clarkson IS Top Gear and vice versa.

The idea that those evil lefties in the BBC would seek to hamstring their single most commercially successful programme is laughable, but hey, conspiracy theorists will theorise.

Never, ever, underestimate the stupidity of the BBC.

Rowan atkinson if we need a replacement

Top class driver with racing experience can joke with the best of them and can crash with the best too

Right don't know why he was suspended but why pull the show? Did it happen on screen, if not why pull it.

No thanks. Top Porsche would be a snoozfest.

Top Gear is one of the very few reasons remaining why i see value in the License fee. Clarkson has never fitted the BBC mold and if it was not for the popularity of TG he would have seen the door hitting his arse years ago. I believe he has sold most of his stake in TG back to the BBC so it may be interesting to see how this progresses. I would imagine it would be very difficult to continue the TG brand as it is without JC. Love him or loathe him i could not see a watered down namby pamby version of TG appealing to many at all.

Be interesting to know what the problem was before he is given his P45.

But I watch it for the buffoonery and someone driving a fast car around a track. I do not watch it for his intellect or world views. So, is he bigger than the show?

I'm thinking that odious woman tt Sue Perkins could be his replacement?

They'd be doing the studio recording for the show tomorrow. No studio recording, no show!

Absolutely! Med? Fjiords? Caribbean?

The Beeb should tread carefully..

Although, latest 'Top Gear' is carp.

Clarkson must be crying all the way to the bank.

That's like saying it wouldn't be the same without Woollard or Goffey.

But even they got replaced by Noel Edmonds and his jumpers. Things move on

Now check this out, William Woollard introducing Jeremy in a very old show. Check out his opening line.

"And now to less controversial matters ..." Oh William, in hindsight brilliant ironic joke. I missed it at the time.

He couldn't resist a punt at the Marina driver could he, even then. And he's still wearing the same pair of jeans as he did in the last episode on Sunday.

Meanwhile Tiff drives the Labatts RS500 with lots of oppo through Paddock hill later in the video whilst JC stuck to doing an auto jumble.

Nuff said.
