Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson Sacked by BBC

[icyfroth]

Jeremy Clarkson faces the possibility of police action after an unprovoked attack on a colleague that has ended his career at the BBC.

The BBC's director-general Tony Hall said in a statement on Wednesday that the Top Gear presenter's attack on producer Oisin Tymon meant "a line has been crossed".

A BBC report found the 30-second attack - stopped only when a witness intervened - was accompanied by a volley of verbal abuse so loud it could be heard throughout the hotel where the program's crew were staying.

It said Tymon was left with a split lip after being struck by Clarkson and drove himself to a nearby hospital after the attack.

James May said that he thinks Jeremy Clarkson is 'a knob', but that he 'quite likes him'

I thought he was a bit more than a "knob", especially after his comments when he was here in Sydney last time. Put me off the show altogether, although I quite liked it at first.

What's his problem? Drinks too much, needs anger management counselling, or just a knob? LOL

A bit of all the above, I think.

Wasn't it he, that organized the wrap up party in Australia and only 1 or 2 people turned up?

He is one of the most bigoted, misogynistic ah soles ever to grace our screens.

Total knob, have never liked him

I used to love Top Gear. I like their challenges when they have to race across a city or country on motorscooters or clapped out cars. I got put off when JC was out here and was being an arrogant buffoon. Good thing they sacked him I reckon, what a knob jockey.
