Clarkson is a former child star whose family fortune comes from the manufacture and sale of children's dolls.

I hope Clarkson gets Paul Walker'd.

And May gets his own show with the little guy showing up every now and then. He's only good in small doses.

clarkson has a long list of being a complete rear end in a top hat in general, even ignoring his political positions. however, separating a tv personality's moronic personal views from his worth as an entertainer has always been pretty easy for me (see also: mike nelson from mst3k).

assaulting a dude over the most petty poo poo imaginable is a bit different, however.

on the other hand, jeremy clarkson is still a fun actor to watch and a great foil to james may. a show of just james would be boring as poo poo. he's the straight man and he needs his costello

Clarkson was arguably the funniest on the show, I'll give him that.

James May would do well if a show featuring him was kind of a half driving cars half documentary on the history or manufacturing of the car. I dunno, I always found their informative stuff a lot better than the stupid "modify x car to do this" or their recent pointless road trips.

It'll be 49 minutes of racial slurs, and Hitler-esque speeches about the browns and gays. Then one minute of him explaining it was an accident and totally coincidental he's a giant dickbag.

To paraphrase, what has the world come to when a drunk millionaire can't thrash his underling in public without worrying about losing his job. It's BBC health and safety gone mad.

Except James May makes a bunch of shows without Clarkson and not only is he often very funny, they're often interesting because he doesn't have a huge penis in the form of a Clarkson to derail it every 30 seconds by driving a bulldozer through the set. Man Lab and the last Toy Stories (especially the Action Man episode, which even has Goons in it) have been almost uniformly great. And for true AI posters his Car of the People thing was good because he was allowed to engage with the subject matter before blowing it up with an RPG, even if the ultimate payoff sucked (his car of the people turns out to cost about as much as an average British person's annual income).

I was sort of hoping May and Hammond would go on with a good replacement, but having seen the brief details of the incident provided by the BBC, I'm not sure I'd watch it. It's now clear Clarkson's behaviour was even worse than first reported. He lays into a junior colleague verbally for like half an hour in about as nasty as way as possible (every conceivable insult plus "I am important and you are going to be fired"), then actually punches him and splits his lip open, then after he's pulled off he pursues him again and hurls more abuse. Hammond and May presumably knew all about this, but still allowed themselves to be seen as supporting Clarkson (and their paycheques). Truly a dick move by both of them. Unfortunately one that won't come back to haunt either of them.

Jesus christ you vaginas need to stop crying for the producer, All producers are cunts and deserve to be punched constantly.

Well then clearly the producer should have went into the kitchen and made a steak and cooked some fries.
