Clarkson to be sacked

The Telegraph reports:

Jeremy Clarkson is to be sacked as Top Gear presenter after a BBC investigation concluded he did attack a producer on the programme.

Lord Hall, the Director General of the BBC, is expected to announce his decision on Wednesday after considering the findings of an internal investigation.

Clarkson, 54, will be thanked for his work on the hugely popular motoring show, but will be told such behaviour cannot be tolerated at the Corporation.

That’s $150 million they are waving good bye to.

I suspect there will be huge bidding from other TV channels to hire Clarkson (and May and Hammond) for a new motoring show.

An idea of how popular Clarkson is, is reflected in this story:

But, unlike the great Indian leader or votes of women campaigners, her protest isn’t to do with the British occupation or gender injustice, but to get Jeremy Clarkson back on Top Gear.

Presumably missing sections of the show such as ‘Star In A Reasonably Priced Car’, Cameron is promising she won’t eat until the suspended host is brought back.

“Nancy has threatened to go on hunger strike unless Jeremy Clarkson is restored,” David Cameron told the BBC.

Nancy is 11 years old and obviously a devoted fan.
