Why don't the BBC just sack top gear and replace with a sports show fronted by Andy Murray, Steve Davis & Phil Neville :thup:
Clarkson Suspended from BBC and no top gear this week!!

I think the BBC have overreacted by cancelling the programme this week and for the rest of the series. Surely they could have used whatever prerecorded bits they have and just dropped JC from the "live" section.
Going forward they are in an invidious position. I actually agree with all the comments about the popularity of the show and accept that they'd probably prefer to keep it going Clarkson and all. However, if he has swung a punch on top of all his other offences that had, reportedly, led to his being on a final warning, they won't have a leg to stand on for disciplinary matters with other employees if they let this pass. Plus JC will know he really is bombproof..... not sure if I want to see what he does in that situation or not!

I agree Coulthard is deadly dull but that is why you have a group of presenters. He would become the James May character except he can drive uber fast. This is where the skill of Suzi Perry would come into it. She would manipulate the dullness of Coulthard, the manic nature of Eddie Jordan and harness the skill and knowledge that they undoubtedly have.
V. funny. Has to be one of the weakest and most embarrassing quotes that they churn out week after week.

Hmmm - without knowing the facts I would tend to accept their judgement on this - especially with all the 'BBC-haters' out there ready and waiting to 'have a go'

Steve Davis is actually an interesting chap when he's not playing snooker.

Must be where he got his nickname from.

I suppose it's all relative. From recent events and operation Yewtree we know that BBC employees did a lot lot worse in the past which in no way condones physical violence and bullying if that is what happened. But I suspect when compared to the behaviour of a lot of stars both in then past and indeed today, this is probably small beer. I think the fact it is Clarkson who is such a polarizing figure has just magnified it so much.

Again, same as Clarkson he played up to an image. Although to be fair he admits he was a joyless machine when he played snooker. But from all the interviews I've seen with him I'd rather go for a pint with him that the vast majority of current sportsmen/women who have any personality drummed out of them by well oiled PR machines and agents and also hours and hours of practicing their sport.
Ha ha. Quite possibly but I have never seen it so I can't comment. If it is then clearly my suggestion is heading towards the dustbin. Can't blame me for suggesting more of Suzi Perry on tv though.

I know, he seems quite a personable chap whenever I've seen him as a pundit etc.
Not sure but I think the "interesting" tag started on Spitting Image.

where does your guide dog sit when you're listening to TV?
Are you saying she is Ruff Ruff??
Suits me. One less in the queue :whoo:
I spoke to her once at an airport, we were queuing for the same flight. She fills a pair of jeans very well indeed. Nice lady as well.
