Hammond is just there to massage Clarksons ego.

Not really because it looked to me after reading a lot of c1973 posts that he was clearly joking and i took it as such.

I wish I could punch someone in work I didn't like safe in the knowledge I'd get a raise from a competitor and get my mates to come with me.
Sounds like win win for JC. And on that bombshell goodnight.

You can just see the 'new top gear' on the BBC.
''Hi, I'm (quota filling female) here on the new top gear, with (quota filling ethnic minority) and guest presenter (various ethnic,gender,political beliefs represented on a weekly basis).
Let's look at the new Ford focus.....oh it's pretty, and has room for a baby seat in the back as well as space for a weekly shop in the boot......it's, erm, red! Aaaand.....you put petrol in this bit here.....oh, petrol.....thats bad.....let's look at the new electric car from Nissan.....oh, it's blue, that matches my shoes......''
Can't wait.

So Top Gear is on all over the world? They don't all have Clarkson and the others fronting each one so it's nonsense to say it is them that make the show. It seems the police are know taking an interest for assault as the producer ended up taking himself to A&E so I don't think the fall out has finished yet

If the Police take it up I thought they then passed it to the Criminal Prosecution Service (CPS) to bring Clarkson to court. I thought the CPS were only supposed to take cases to court if the victim reported being assaulted ( he didn't as far as I've read), it is in the Public interest or because the 'suspect' was likely to do it again and is therefore a danger to society and needs locking up!
So IMO it seems like a waste of time and money by the Police and CPS just for the sake of being seen to do stuff.
Not a Clarkson or Top Gear fan; he's been dropped so lets move on.

Shamelessly lifted from the Grauniad, but it made me smile:
Surely they could have Mario Balotelli?
Like Clarkson, he has experience of driving around in ludicrous and outrageously expensive cars while throwing his money about, falling out with his co-workers, messing about with fireworks and setting fire to things. That and he’s not as good as he used to be.

That would have been a couple of very big asks though - particularly the 2nd one!
It was bound to happen at some stage and with contract renewal coming up, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't all staged/deliberate - by JC of course!

The BBC version with clarkson may and Hammond is broadcast all over the world. There are some local imitations (Germany, US Oz) but they aren't as popular as the UK one even in their own countries.

Only if the BBC sell back the rights.
Good chance to make a bob or two for the licence payers.
The police seem to be involved now.

I think the BBC will want to keep the programme. No one is indispensable so there should be no insurmountable problems with getting a new crew. I think the current format was getting a bit hackneyed and needed a revamp.
