Is it true that the top gear replacement presenters are called Milliband, Clegg and Farage?

Oh dear. Lifting a line directly from Graham Norton on his intro from the British Academy TV Awards. Cringe....

I read that as well as his divorce and his mother dying, he also was told he might have cancer after discovering a lump on his tongue. Not that it excuses anything, but you can understand why somebody under that much stress might lose their temper.

It's no wonder our hospitals are overcrowded



I mean who goes to hospital because they got a thick lip...

country is going to the dogs I tell you.

Wuss, Clarkson should have tw@tted the jessie again!

Or maybe it's a condition of their insurance that any injury that results in bleeding needs to be seen to by a qualified person who probably wouldn't have been sat around the hotel on the off chance.

goddamit man

it's lunch time I did not want a logical discussion...

but why would the insurance company care - unless the spoon fed mummies boy tw@ was going to sue cos someone gave him a thick lip.

An internal investigation found Mr Tymon took himself to hospital after he was subject to an "unprovoked physical and verbal attack" that resulted in swelling and bleeding to his lip.

Has the Clarkson, may, Hammond Netflix show been announced yet?

They did not renew his contract which is quite different to it being terminated. it was also very convenient for both parties because it means it will be easier for him to return.

Unseen Top Gear footage will be screened this year, BBC says - Telegraph

Interesting but in that article it says

When asked whether the door was open for Clarkson to return, she said: "It's serious and unfortunate what happened, but there's no ban on Jeremy being on the BBC."

The Beeb needs someone perceived as non-PC if they want to replace Clarkson. Trouble is, they don't have anyone like that.

Nigel Farage might be available soon
