Title: Death of Top Gear? Post by: Mohican on March 10, 2015, 06:30:51 PM With Jeremy Clarkson being suspended- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31824040
Do any of you think the program will survive him being sacked(if it happens)?? Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: Woodsey on March 10, 2015, 06:34:54 PM I imagine he will have no shortage of offers to do another show with a similar format if he wishes...
Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: scotty77 on March 10, 2015, 06:40:16 PM Is the most watched show in the world. He'll be fine.
Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: TightEnd on March 10, 2015, 06:41:44 PM it has made the BBC fortunes in overseas sales
not only will he be fine, and much in demand if released but the show will carry on without him the format is bullet proof Title: Re: Death of Top Gear?

Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: byronkincaid on March 10, 2015, 07:02:04 PM A few people have been calling for Chris Harris to be on TG for years but if Clarkson goes to ITV and makes 7th Gear or whatever then everyone will just watch that.

Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: GlennDuskTillDawn on March 10, 2015, 07:10:48 PM Sigh, not quick enough.
Still if he walks in to Channel4 or ITV offices 'Hello chaps, I'm Jeremy Clarkson and I've got a great idea for a new show.' Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: kinboshi on March 11, 2015, 07:28:06 AM Replace him with Suzi Perry.
Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: tikay on March 11, 2015, 07:39:22 AM Replace him with Suzi Perry. Now THAT would work. I don't watch Top Gear, but if Suzi were the host, count me in. If she wore her spectacles, I'd even watch the repeats, too. (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BroTDaaCMAALJgV.jpg) Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: tikay on March 11, 2015, 07:54:14 AM Clarkson and a partner own the show Top Gear. Any other channel snaps it up. they sold it to the BBC for millions a few years ago and the partner is prob the bloke he had a fight with? Sort of. As I understand it, the BBC acquired 50% of Top Gear from Clarkson & his Business Partner in 2012. Clarkson still owns 30%, & his Business Partner holds 15%. So, quite a mess now, but the Company must be worth a good few bob. The alleged fracas was with a Producer, but not 15% man. Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: mulhuzz on March 11, 2015, 08:15:29 AM If they do give Clarkson the bullet, there will be a lot of clamour to replace with a woman, probably. And Suzi Perry would be absolutely great for it.
Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: tikay on March 11, 2015, 08:25:12 AM If they do give Clarkson the bullet, there will be a lot of clamour to replace with a woman, probably. And Suzi Perry would be absolutely great for it. Wonder if, given that the BBC only own 50% (I believe), & Clarkson & his mate own the rest, is it possible to fire him? Effectively, they'd be sacking the guy that owned half the Show? Dropping the Show would seem more practical, but then they write off their investment, & kill their 50% of the action. Guess if Clarkson were cute, he'd replace himself as Host, & continue to reap the monetary rewards, whilst he goes off & makes more money on another project. There are echoes here of when Jonathon Ross was suspended by the BBC after the matter with Brand & Sachs. The Show was owned & produced by Ross, & the Production staff continued to be paid by Ross's company whilst the Show was off air temporarily. It's quite interesting how these Shows become owned by third parties. One of the most successful is "Hat Trick Productions", who have sold all sorts to various TV channels. Their flagship show is HIGNFY. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_Trick_Productions Title: Re: Death of Top Gear?

Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: byronkincaid on March 11, 2015, 10:31:02 AM Telegraph saying Sky have made repeated efforts to get all 3 of the TG presenters. Would they want this kind of controversy all the time especially after the Andy Gray incident?

Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: Skippy on March 11, 2015, 01:00:09 PM The BBC is the only broadcasting organization that could turn down the huge pile of cash this program brings in, I reckon.
Of course it would turn up somewhere else. Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: tikay on March 11, 2015, 01:19:35 PM The BBC is the only broadcasting organization that could turn down the huge pile of cash this program brings in, I reckon. Of course it would turn up somewhere else. The Times suggested that the BBC's "dividend" from Top Gear in 2012 (they owned 50% of the rights) came to £4 million. If true - might not be - that's not much in the scheme of things. Title: Re: Death of Top Gear?

Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: MANTIS01 on March 11, 2015, 06:04:57 PM Apparently Clarkson swung a punch at one of the producers for not organising any dinner while they were filming on location. Seems fair enough!
Just seen the doorstop interview with James May.... Reporter: Do you support Clarkson? May: No! He is a knob! Reporter: Can you tell us what happened? May: No! I was blind drunk! Brilliant! This whole thing is very TopGear and the BBC must be loving it. All over the media. How many more viewers now? If they did actually bust up their most lucrative commercial stream because Clarkson is being Clarkson that would be hilarious. It would also accelerate the demise of the draconian license fee, continuing to highlight their seriously shit business skills. Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: kinboshi on March 11, 2015, 07:09:35 PM From twitter: @JamesWorron: Before the Beeb radicalised him Clarkson was a beautiful young man.

It's pretty stupid they won't finish the series in my opinion. Should at least finish off the recorded episodes just cutting it like that seems quite silly. Title: Re: Death of Top Gear?

Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: The Camel on March 11, 2015, 08:26:31 PM How can they not sack him?
Even forgetting the fact he was on a final warning, swinging a punch at a work colleague must be a fireable offence. if they don't sack him, what message are the BBC sending to their staff? "Physical violence is unacceptable unless you are a big enough star and then we will overlook it" Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: doubleup on March 11, 2015, 08:33:08 PM "Physical violence is unacceptable unless you are a big enough star and then we will overlook it" yeah particularly considering historical events Title: Re: Death of Top Gear? Post by: Kmac84 on March 11, 2015, 08:49:17 PM Clarkson is a racist, a tory and supports fox hunting. If I never thought him a nob beore, I certainly do now. The shameful thing is he is right up the street of the Little Englander and the brodcasters willl be falling over themselves to give him a gig.

His celeb value has probably increased as a result of the whole thing, & there won't be many days when his name does not appear in the red tops whether he gets the tin tack or not. He's bulletproof.
