heh, never heard of Harry and Paul before, just watched a few more clips, they are teh funnay.
Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear host, suspended by BBC after 'fracas'
The corporation said the 54-year-old presenter had been suspended "pending an investigation".
"No one else has been suspended. Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday," it said.
Clarkson was given what he called his "final warning" last May after claims he used a racist word while filming the popular BBC motoring show.
At the time, he said the BBC had told him he would be sacked if he made "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time".
The BBC gave no further details on the current incident involving Clarkson, and said it would not be making any further statements at this time.
Clarkson's representatives have yet to reply to requests for a comment.
The presenter himself has remained silent, however last month he tweeted a post saying a "new presenter for Top Gear" was wanted.
"Applicant should be old, badly dressed and pedantic but capable of getting to work on time," he said.
I saw that, but there's pretty much nothing that would make me morally object enough to stop watching that show. Best thing on tv.
Yep.Quote:

But very watchable TV though.

Well this fucking blows. Best show I've ever come across on tv - these 3 hosts are the biggest reason behind that.Quote:

This summary of Clarkson's "offenses" reads like a children's book compared to what's deemed perfectly acceptable in the US. First Amendment, ftmfw. Or as they would say in GB, ft**w.
Just no wardrobe malfunctions....

Clarkson is Hugh Conway?
Clarkson is hilarious, and what's even more hilarious is how upset people get about the things he says/does.
Hopefully the BBC finally cans him and he gets hooked up with a network that better suits his style.
…or he just buys the rest of BBC.
Just off the top of my head I don't know what network that would be.Quote:

Maybe FX?
I think the BBC and Top Gear makes the best possible version of this show - it's like they do it to balance out the rest of their social agenda so they let Clarkson's antics fly.
Comedy Central comes to mind. Or I would think the network that hosted Larry David could make room for Jeremy Clarkson.Quote:

Larry David? You mean HBO? Good luck getting Clarkson past the Lena Dunhams and Bill Mahers guarding that gate.
That network has sailed.
You mean Bill Maher the racist islamophobe?Quote:

Also, he's only 54?! He looks terrible, I thought he was closer to 70 by now.

I predict he probably announces candidacy for UKiP in parliamentary election this May.
Like many Brits, by 40 he already looked like shit. Shit diet + shit genes I guess explains the phenomenon.Quote:

He's playing to the stereotypes, but then again class divide has always been prevalent in British history.
Him being irreverent & disrespectful is part of why it's funny. Who gives a shit if he's making a social point.
People used to criticize Billy Connolly for being crass, he said who cares if it's crass, funny is funny.
Hey now. My ties to the mother country are inviolable, given me mum what raised me n' all. Therefore I reserve the right to point such things out.Quote:

I have been a fan of the show since 04, and am pretty sure I have seen every episode and special buy the current presenters.
Sure Clarkson is old fashioned and not a great role model in the modern day, but his frankness and journalistic/comedic delivery are the core of the show. And there is a reason no other car show has been this successful. It really is comedy more than just a car show, and comedy is not always PC. I agree with some critics that some segments have become stale, over played, unoriginal. But then there are segments like the review of Peugeot recently where I could not contain my laughter. So I crave the new episodes and the current cancelation of the series, is like going cold turkey. I know there are segments already filmed just waiting to be shown, and I want them.
Top Gear seem to have always been good at not taking them selves too serious and making a laugh out of dire situations. So I wonder if they could film the studio segments without Clarkson to finish off the series. May and Hammond could really make a good joke of it. And they should be able to find a funny way to doctor the remaining films. Maybe blur Jeremy's face, or cover it with someone else's face, perhaps someone Jeremy loathes. Have someone dub over Jeremy's voice, how about someone french. Make a laugh out of it, and go out with a bang.
Should TG be cancelled, JC replaced, sold to a private company, it will struggle to ever be as good as it has been.
My favorite segment of all time is the Reliant Robin trip JC takes all of 14 miles and keeps rolling it on its side.
I agree. That distended gut is a telltale sign. I too think the show has gotten kind of stale. But stale TG is better than most tv. Probably laughed at that show more than any other. The bit in Burma where Clarksons donkey mounted Hammonds after a few comments about his enlarged member had me laughing so hard I though I was going to faint. And that was last year. I hate to see it go. But at sometime it was bound to end. Those guys are going to get too old to push the cars hard at some point. They have tried to replicate the formula in other countries and it just isn't the same. Top Gear USA is just awful though I like Foust. Australian TP is ok but the specials with the challenges on BBC are incomparable IMO.Quote:

Still makes me smile.
Clarkson, Hammond and May to NetFlix? (and Andy too)
Looks like it could be. "House of Cars" as a working title?
