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.

Why would he need to? They're all free to walk away next month if they wanted to.

Clarkson was however the one who brought the incident to the attention of the BBC bosses, not the producer.


Hype?

I can't see it. Those 3 collectively leaving the BBC to go elsewhere would cause more than enough hype in itself.

 


Optimistic as ever

But this way the BBC look foolish and Clarkson is a master of creating a situation to promote himself.....

We'll see what happens.... you could be right.

I think it's quite interesting. You have 1000's of his fans who signed a petition before they knew what he had done and if he is going to be sacked. Now it is thought to be known what he did it will be interesting to see what the BBC does. Sack him and lose a lot of money or stand by him and lose face. If he wasn't going to sign a new contract, perhaps it doesn't matter either way.

If it is true that he reported himself to the BBC, it makes it more interesting as we wonder why he would do so if the producer (presumably) wasn't going to make a complaint.

Good piece about him and Chelsea. [Link]

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

It's nothing more than the ridiculous celebrity infatuation that is sweeping this country.

Bloke on TV acts like a tit & then the f*cking Prime Minister gets involved and is interviewed about it.

As I said, ridiculous.

Yeah that's a recent phenomenon isn't it. I mean it's not like we've got a load of cases where celebrity infatuation led to molestation or anything.

Bloke happens to be both mate and constituent of PM, and bloke works for national broadcaster.

The level of interest is definitely just a by-product of z list celebs & reality TV, or the most watched programme in the world. I can't decide...

I'd rather my PM dealt with issues that concern the nation, not some middle aged mate of his who slapped someone.
