Best answer ever.
Either the BBC will come around or Top Gear will die and the BBC will stand to lose millions.
If BBC decides that they wont reinstate Jeremy, he'd just get Hammond and May to start a new show (on Netflix lol) with 3-way ownership.
I doubt it was about a lavish catered dinner!Whether JC as a host or TG as a show is entertaining or not is totally subjective. That's fine as there's both camps. You like the show, you watch it. You don't like the show, then don't watch it. Simple.
But reports that JC took a hissy fit and threw a punch at an assistant producer because his lavish catered dinner was not ready on time is both diva and douche-bag rolled into one.

Errr...The BBC owns the rights to Top Gear as a brand. They bought it in 2012 and will not be selling it to someone like NetFlix any time soon. They're in a very difficult position. If they dump Clarkson, they potentially dump a brand which they paid millions of GBP for. On the other hand, if they keep Clarkson, they risk living with an old, fat and grey Diva on their hands who can pretty much get away with anything.
The outcome to this is going to be VERY interesting.
What makes it even more precarious is that Hammond, May and Clarkson's contracts end at the end of March. They were right in the middle of negotiating very lucrative new contracts when news of this broke.
Hold on to your seats guys. It's about to get interesting.
Still. Punching someone because of a lack of catering on set? Asshole of the year award right there.
Id increase my netflix by a dollar a month to pay for a new show with those 3.
I doubt it was about a lavish catered dinner!
More likely something like this!
Clarkson "Any sandwiches?"
Pissed off Producer "You look like you need a sandwich you fat git!"
Fracas ensues!
Then BBC PC brigade feel the need to get involved in case the producer decides to sue for damages!
So what was probably handbags at 5 paces has evolved into UFC fight :laugh:
Me too! Who claimed that lol
But what's in the bowl?!
I find it hard to believe JC throwing a hissy fit like that but then again, I wouldn't be completely surprised.
I'm a big UK Top Gear fan, each of the hosts have their own glorious personalities and work extremely well together (like the cast of Friends). I don't watch it for its technical merit, but straight car related entertainment.
That being said, JC IS the show. No JC, it's going to go downhill fast.
