Kids are easily pleased.Yep. They need to freshen things up, it's the same cliched guy in a monster mask nonsense every week! Should have been dropped from the schedule years ago.

I do along with Postman Pat and I don't have kids
Fireman Sam is far better than Postman Pat. PP is the antithesis of Clarkson with his goody-goody nature, Sam was always a little more edgy (10-15 years ago, anyway)

Right that's it, I'm prepared to let a lot of stuff go, say what you like about Top Gear but don't start on Fireman Sam. I'll have you know that he's the hero next door. As for that little (infraction) Norman Price, how he hasn't received an ASBO or had a visit from Social Services to take him into care I'll never know.

If Clarkson has punched a producer what are your views on this?
Surely you don't agree with violence in the work place.
Sackable offence in your opinion?

If he's punched a guy for nothing then he should be sacked. IF the guy was asking for it, then he shouldn't be sacked. Imo.

I dislike Strictly and Casualty almost as much as I do TG but they're always on too. I'm not going to go off to the bedroom and sulk every time though! I don't sit and watch these shows but the TV remains annoyingly in earshot. The solution here is obviously that I need to move to a bigger house

Some pretty pathetic views on here. TG is one the BBCs most popular programs and is watched by millions. If you dont like it, dont watch it.
Yep. They need to freshen things up, it's the same cliched guy in a monster mask nonsense every week! Should have been dropped from the schedule years ago.
There's always a new audience coming through though so it carries on regardless, I suppose a little like Top Gear, those of us who watched it every week when it was fresh and it was deemed light entertainment have become worn down by its repetitiveness and over self importance on display of Clarkson whos stealing a living, IMO

Say what you like about the Fabio Capello lookalike. No wonder a first class stamp is so expensive if they're spending all the money giving their cartoon delivery men cartoon helicopters.

Strictly has its plus points
It's a fair point and surely the BBC like most employers has a policy on violence in the workplace. Certainly punching a co-worker at my place would be an instant suspension pending an inquiry and probably dismissal

Probably sackable either way in any sane working environment? Even if a colleague is being an total idiot to you, screaming in your face for example, you're still not supposed to hit him?
Whether or not a TV show which has big stars counts as a sane working environment is probably up for debate though, same as any industry which has "talent". Would a footballer be sacked for hitting a coach?

Quite agree.
Just because something is popular does not mean it is good...........The Sun newspaper is a good example of that.
Same sort of audience IMO.

It would depend on how crucial that footballer is to said team
Footballers don't get sack regualry regardless of what they do
Punching someone is not on - the BBC will punish him but will be very surprised if they do sack him.
But why should he be treated differently to any other BBC employee

That strikes me as a very snobbish attitude to have. I used to read The Sun as it had a good sport section and being a tabloid was easy to read on the tube. Obviously a lot of people regard The Sun and Top Gear as good or they wouldn't be as popular as they are. What gives you the right to say that they are not good simply because you don't like them?
I'd think if the producer who has been assaulted doesn't get his way, Thayer if he wants Clarkson sacked, he'll simply report it then to the police.
