Half and half, imo. I think it's the trio with Clarkson at the helm and the fact that all three of them have a passion about cars.... especially super cars. Boys like super cars. Personally I'd love to have a Fiat 500...but I still enjoy Top Gear (or did) I'm never going to get round the track in the 'non star in a reasonably priced car' in a Fiat... I like their...

As James May has said, this is something that could have been sorted quickly and easily if the Daily heil hadn't broken the tale open for the media and gutter press to drag it out... Clarkson reported it to the BBC himself. I am a big fan of the show and I like him but smacking someone is wrong but it now seems the norm that anything that happens has to be tried and punished by the jury that is the Newspaper. Shame the media weren't so quick to pick up on Saville and the like, or were too busy running phone tapping scams on all and sundry.....
Top Gear is finished, the three of them made it what it is. Never mind, we can always drag William Woolard and Quentin Wilson back to front up the new show with Noel Edmunds, Angela Rippon and that Gough bloke with the dodgy beard......

He punched someone who had to go to A&E as a result, the punch coming in the midst of a tirade of verbal abuse. Who of us, if subjected to the same thing for the same petty reason, would want the person to continue in their job?
@Slapshot - "this is something that could have been sorted quickly and easily"
If you'd been shouted at, verbally abused, punched and your lip cut, what would be your ideal "quick and easy" solution to that? Regardless of any press coverage, it would have been wrong for the BBC, or ANY employer, to renew his contract after that behaviour.
As for all the crybabying by Clarkson fans about how the show won't work with another presenter so they're not going to watch it any more, oh well, never mind. But the fact is that no-one yet knows what it will be like in future, it's just that a load of JC fans have already decided it won't be any good.

It's all a wonderfully set-up conspiracy by the BBC. They've been trying to sack him for years, by cleverly setting up opportunities for him to say something incredibly offensive about something, which he always seemed to take, but somehow it wasn't enough. And then some bright spark cottoned on the the idea of waiting until he hit someone for literally no reason. Wonderfully played, BBC.
There is a school of thought evidenced on this thread and others about this incident, that because the atmosphere of Top Gear is all about 'lads being lads together', then the producer involved should be seen as some sort of wuss because he elected to have his injury assessed.
I think it is a matter of personal choice, and not for a debate about his masculinity.

Some people's self-assessment is better than others. If it turns out that the injuries weren't all that severe then granted he didn't need to be at A&E. On the other hand sometimes things can be worse than you think, as well as better. I would have thought it better to be on the safe side and go to A&E when not necessary, rather than not go when it turned out to be so.
ummm - // Andy....I really do think you live in a different world to some of us. //
Absolutely.
My world does not consist of people who sign a petition to have someone like Clarkson reinstated after he has assaulted a colleague, or people who think assault is a fuss about nothing, or that a producer, or a hotel, or the fairies at the bottom of the garden are to blame for Clarkson's suspension and sacking.
So if they occupy a different world to me, I am more than delighted to hear it!
