B4stards sacked him
Incident out of work hours too, with no complaint from the offended chap
What the feck has it got to do with the bosses out of hours. They don't own Jeremy.

What choice did they have though, impossible situation for them unfortunately.

Any rumours that his contract stated that they can't use the top gear name without him?

I hope he [they], go back to just reviewing cars, it is by far when they're the most entertaining. The silly races and car building bullshit got way out of hand, it sucked the life out of them and the show.
Wherever he [they] end up, the first episode of Top Gear 2.0 will be a full on BBC slag off fest. I'm certain some of the stuff Jezza says during that first episode will leave a mark!

Poor Clarkson, if only he was a children's TV presenter, the BBC would've covered everything up for him.

So did Alex Ferguson get sacked for the hair dryer treatment on and throwing a boot at Beckham.
I find society today so politically correct with a particular manner in which you must behave and speak. Some people don't align themselves with such control, Jeremy being one. He is now being ostracised.

Trouble is, 5th Gear do that format and the programme has slowly fallen off the radar. Probably in its last season now I imagine:

Channel 5: 2002 - 2011
Discovery Channel: 2012 - 2013
History Channel (says it all): 2014 - ?


The BBC will have to be really careful with how they go about moving Top Gear forward. It will be exciting to see, as potentially it will be two shows - Top Gear vs Ex Top Gear going toe to toe. I wonder if Chris Harris will get a prime time chance with the BBC?
