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.

Yes it was, he wanted a hot meal (steak?) after filming and was told that wasn't available.

Top Gear presenter erupted because he was offered the cold dish, as well as soup, instead of a sizzling 8oz steak after a long day’s filming.

I suppose the million quids he's made off Top Gear has inflated his sense of importance.
