Clarkson sacked by the BBC

[SueEllen]

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...

Or 3rd gear if it's on ITV.

A lot of the format was the old Clarkson chat show, plus his other programmes like Speed and Extreme Machines. I suspect Clarkson will go back to making those sorts of programmes for someone else rather than spring up again with a near-identical show.

I find the special shows to be my favourite, or the longer challenges. The Polar one for example. Doing a series just of those could be great.

It would be nice if they at least showed the end of the current series though.

There could be a Boxing Day Special.....

Carsualty?
Saturday Morning Kitchen?
May and Hammond's Fist of Fun?
Racism from Goodwood?

The NUS wimmins conference yesterday moved a motion to refrain from clapping

I sh!tteth thou not
'I am woman, hear me . er... jazz hand'

It wasn't a motion, it was a request by some delegates which other delegates were asked to comply with.

Load of absolute idiocy, but not a motion.

A request then.

I suspect that some wag has taken over that twitter account because it can't be real. can it ?

When somebody RTed that jazz hands/clapping one, I went back through the account's timeline. I even followed a link to the agenda for the conference and cross-checked the tweets relating thereto against it. I also checked other NUS accounts that were mentioned or RTed, or that mentioned that account.

Having initially assumed it must be a parody, I was forced to conclude that it was, in fact, real

At least now they can bump Hammond and May.

Hammond's shows were excruciatingly bad and surely only got them using leverage from being on Top Gear.
