Re: Clarkson suspended, Top Gear taken off schedules
Most likely they think they cannot have employees having physical fights. He hit someone who then went to the hospital. I'm surprised he wasn't fired weeks ago.Top Gear was originally a short lived motoring program that did fail, and it was Jeremy Clarkson that saved it.
Maybe the folks at the BBC think the franchise is too popular to hinge on its presenters rather than its content and style (Top Gear has programs in other countries with other hosts) or maybe they think that Hammond and May will cave and continue doing the show when faced with the real threat of termination. Who knows? I doubt Top Gear UK will survive this.
