Clarkson sacked by the BBC

[pjclarke]

But to ban clapping? The issue here is delegates KNOW it will happen, it's not something unexpected.

There was no ban, there was no motion to ban. EO loves a 'loony Left' story, so much so he sometimes erm, exaggerates. Just a little. HTH.

In other news, Boy Jeremy receives the Kiss of Death.

How stupid can BBC be in firing Jeremy Clarkson? Funny man with great expertise and huge following.

BBC will not renew Jeremy Clarkson contract

Dammit, I like top gear, it's literally the only thing I watch on BBC. On the bright side, at least I can cancel my subscription to the BBC now and save a bit of cash

blooming kids making a racket in the school playground. I am going straight over to demand they do 'jazz laughing'

Just confirmed on BBC News, contract not renewed. Too much

Au Revoir!

Contract not renwed != sacked, though in reality it's the same difference. It would be nice if they at least showed the end of the current series though.

Yes indeed

and then it would be nice if TG reappeared on a different channel with the same 3 stooges and the beeb looses it's only show worth watching...

[NotAllThere]

why are you clapping ?

I thought clapping had been banned

Half-banned. You're fine if you're Zen.

I understand the BBC now own the brand, so the boyz couldn't call a replacement show Top Gear ..

Interesting I wonder how much that extends to the format of the show e.g. the races/challenges etc...

or even just 3 blokes sat around chatting about cars...

if they called it 6th Gear...

Perhaps they could change the name to Top Charlie instead and move to another channel
