(25 Mar 2015, 2:26 pm)Michael Jeremy Clarkson dropped from Top Gear, BBC confirms - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-32052736
Wrong move, i'll not be watching the new show at all, if it continues..........
Not sure if I will either.
Obviously the BBC has done the right decision (morally) as you can't really continue when you have your presenters getting in dust ups with other employees, in any job you'd be likely to get the sack if you do what Clarkson has done.
Obviously it is sad that Top Gear as we know it is now over.

James May's reaction says it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6cfFnBNELs
BBC over reacting, let's not getting on to the peado ring which they kept hiding for years....

(25 Mar 2015, 2:49 pm)Michael James May's reaction says it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6cfFnBNELsExpect a reformatted version of Top Gear on ITV or Channel 4/5 or something featuring Clarkson/May and Hammond, with a later start time than 8pm so Clarkson can say WTF he wants wirhout getting into trouble for it.

I am no longer going to watch Top Gear

As much as I know the BBC had no real option, morally, I can't help but think that this will come back to haunt them, Sky ITV or Channel 4 introduce a show with Clarkson, Hammond and May and rake in the money... Financially this will damage the BBC heavily, in my opinion.

Perhaps some sort of ploy for the remaining members of One Direction to be punched!

It is a great shame that Top Gear is no longer...so many fond memories of them travelling all around the globe; getting up to mischief; testing and crashing cars; offending entire nations...
However, as has been speculated, I'd like to think the three of them could start again with another corporation - as the show was just so great, and the fan base was through the roof!

Sky is rumoured to be after them, along with Netflix.. but Netflix has offered them full rains, so they can do what they want.

James's reaction to Clarkson getting sacked, still makes me laugh.
