So it looks like the BBC will formally sack Jeremy Clarkson today over his recent behaviour and confrontation with a Top Gear producer.

Listening to Chris Evans this morning on the way to work, he categorically denied any claims that he is considering taking over and said he has no interest, quipping to all the journalists camped outside his studio that they might as well and go for a cup of tea

So is that the death of Top Gear, or is it now set to be reborn again?

I'd be surprised if they bring someone in to replace Clarkson and continue with James May and Richard Hammond, as their style and humour seems to be embedded and linked with the Clarkson style. But it's a massive show and a revenue earner for the beeb, so pity the poor writer who gets tasked to craft the replacement format 

What do you think, will the beeb soldier on with My and the Hamster and try and replace Clarkson, or start again with a new format?

I didn't think he like many others were employed by the bbc, I thought they were all employed via dodgy production companies for the purpose of avoiding tax. But I have read that he may take them to a tribunal. Personally I couldnt care less as I never watched top gear... So I won't miss him either way.... A lot of fuss over a nobody

I really can't stand the guy so I hope he never works again...I can imagine them relaunching Top Gear with someone else but I agree it will take a total overhaul to pull it off. I would possibly watch it with someone else! Perhaps not though. 


Ja well no fine (definition )

I didn't really watch it for the cars I fast forwarded those ,I just liked the escapades they got up to like driving though Africa and other such trips they took always a barrel of laughs

Well now he's officially sacked, no doubt we will have an announcement in the near future of a new car program on a different channel with a very similar format and no doubt 3 familiar presenters 

Never an avid fan, it was good to watch once in a while, and their escapades around the world did make good telly, no matter how much of it was staged...

Maybe it's time for a fresh format, and all of this was a PR stunt...

Are you South African Andy?

Dreamraven our resident South African moderator seems to have gone walkabout again

Yeah I'm a South African  ... Moved here so my wife could be near her family and have really always wanted to live here as my Dad was British

I hear the guy who received the slap is not pressing charges ,so very well could be another program and I am also pretty sure the other 2 will follow as they seem to stick together
