Clarkson's Petition for Re-Instatement

[Waspy]

so if it was you in a bar and someone punched you, you would be fine with us raising a petition to get the other bloke out of trouble.

Nobody ever gets in trouble for punching someone in a bar. Well, not unless they really go to town on them, or its your boss.....

No thought not. 

Ever since the falklands / Argentina show all respect has been lost for that program and producers.

Get rid.

1) Still no facts to say he did even punch anybody.
2) Multiple people have denied that he ever punched anybody.
3) They were all drunk and so you have no idea on what the producer said to Clarkson or how he acted.
4) The producer looks fine, so if he did punch him it's not exactly life threatening or serious.
5) May say's its been blown out of proportion.

It's the most entertaining show the BBC has and Clarkson has a connection with his audience that noone else has.

Oh and yes if it was me i'd deal with it man to man with him behind closed doors instead of making millions of viewers suffer as a consequence.

sorry, were you there so know all the statements YOU just made are true ?

think not 

and what a crock of sh!te, he LOOKS fine, so that makes it all ok, could have been a stomach punch,

again, do YOU know he is ok cos he looks ok.

all hear say and as the BBC themselves stated in a new report, it must be serious for them to have suspended him so quickly

Tell your a northerner - go live down south for a bit

Maybe they should come live in the north for a bit 

[dTEA]

maybe you should both go at it...and see if the southerner in Chuff is stronger than his northern side 

On another note...its a publicity stunt...and I couldn't care less for the show.  Its no longer a car show...its cheap comedy...and often racist at that.

If mountain bikers could raise that kind of petition then they also might have a chance of having the footpaths open for riding...instead of the poxy 3000 it managed.  Maybe they should go round hitting all the landowners

[Mr Savage]

Chuff;

No I wasn't there but neither were you going on that logic. I'm just going by what the people who were there have said.

Noones saying it's right what he did. But it's a fact of life. Everyone does stupid things in the heat of the moment.

The fact that the incident happened 5 days ago and is only being addressed now pretty much indicates that it wasn't all that serious. The fact that everyone's alive and fine also indicates that it's nothing serious.

So why BBC have decided that the huge fan base of Top Gear should suffer because of a little petty squabble is ridiculous.

You might think Top Gear has had its day, it's not about cars any more ect ect, but don't you see that's why the show is so appealing to such a wide audience? You might not watch it but the millions of viewers will agree with me. Top Gear makes up a huge 19% of BBC TV's income!

I watches the new series of 5th Gear last night

In less than an hour I saw more cars and reviews than an entire season of Top Gear

Its had its day and needs reinventing

You have just said why it doesnt need reinventing. There are other, better, shows if you want car reviews. 5th Gear is great if you want to find out which cars are good and which are not. Top Gear serves a different market now. It serves the casual market who just want to chill about and watch three tools tool around in funny or expensive cars. It is so popular because it isn't 5th Gear. Both have their place.

25 years. 2 marriages and far too many " incidents " in the south

7 months back north and normal service Resumed

Top Gear used to be the best motoring show.  its forgotten its roots

The first few seasons were entertaining but now its so predictable its become a snooze fest
