Quote Hoof Hearted at 13 Mar 2015 9.54am Quote Crystal_Clear at 12 Mar 2015 6.47pm I didn't realise that all their contracts on Top Gear are up soon, and they were due to sign new 3 year contracts. BBC are in a very difficult situation now. If they sack Clarkson, then May and Hammond can walk as well very soon. What are the odds that Sky are lining up a megabucks offer of a new show ? A show they could potentially sell around the world. BBC follow rules and potentially lose millions. That could mean they can no longer finance other shows that they make. Dilemma, eh ? My theory is that JC has engineered this situation for his own end. Fed up with BBC interference he can walk away and set up another show on Sky/ITV which would replace Top Gear's world dominance instantly. I think I would have been p1ssed off too if I was offered a cold meal at 10pm after a long days filming. I hope he does leave whether by his own accord or is sacked as he can broker a better paid deal with another TV station quite easily. He is a money spinner there is no doubt about that. Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

The (faux or otherwise) outrage at Clarkson and his outbursts isn't really relevant. Clarkson allegedly thumped a colleague. If you or I or anyone else did that then we would be suspended and ultimately sacked. That's it. It isn't complicated in principle. The problem for the BBC is that they want to keep him. There's no PC brigade desperate to oust him in the BBC. They are desperate to keep him because he makes them money. "It's almost like a moral decision. Except not really cos noone is going to find out," Jez, Peep Show
