I suspect TG won't be on much longer in its current guise anyway. Too many complaints....

As much as I dislike him, I think it would be a shame if it ended.

Wow - the online petition has hit over 600000
Top gear would be lost without him. come to think of it, it would fail if James may wasn't in it as they would have no one to pick on like they do.
HoWeber I see it is difficult for BBC. Taking him back is saying it's okay to go punching members of staff. They will loose millions though if they done complete the series. I'm sure they would want to carry on the series. But they have to be seen doing what is right. Maybe the names on the petition will swing what is right.

I agree he has to be punished. But Top Gear has a huge fan base and following. I don't think the licence paying public should be made to suffer, especially when it is the only program on the BBC worth watching, imho!
If it wasn't for BBC we wouldn't have to pay the TV licence, as all the licence money goes to them, other channels get revenue from advertising.

True but unsurprising, all polticians are unpopular with at least half the population!

True , the other half hate politicians .....
Politicians constantly lie, they are all dodgy salesmen.
Richard Hammond and James May have refused to continue filming Top Gear without Jeremy Clarkson in a show of solidarity with the under-fire presenter.
BBC executives have revealed discussions took place about putting on the final few episodes with mainly pre-recorded segments and the two co-stars filming the studio parts on their own.
But Hammond and May both refused outright.
Top Gear fans will be delighted to see the BBC put under so much pressure from within the show, as who can honestly see Top Gear being the same without Clarkson, Hammond and May all on screen?
As you all know, this whole controversy started with that 'fracas' between Clarkson and a show producer which led to punches being thrown over a hot meal.
Clarkson was immediately suspended and his fate now lies in the hands of BBC Director General Tony Hall.
The investigation, and the saga as a whole, rumbles on while the BBC decide what on earth to do.
