Don't know if you've heard but Jeremy Clarkson was suspended from Top Gear earlier today due to an argument with a producer and an investigation that will take place. Also a factor in the suspension are the recent racist remarks and the Argentina incident.

Signed the petition, BBC shouldn't fire Jeremy I believe he is the reason top gear is so big, although I do think he needs to get his arrogance in check.

BBC has also suspended airing the last couple of episodes of Top Gear for this season.

Honestly, I hate to say it, but suspending him was the right course of action by the BBC. He can't be going around fighting producers. That said, I don't see why they need to suspend the series.

I respectfully disagree somewhat. Maybe hitting him wasn't the best thing (Its like hitting your boss) but -I read this and agree- at the same time people with such strong personalities will lash when they are forced to change. The producers are crazy trying to eliminate their key to success. He (his humor) is the reason it is the most watched show ever and the only reason why it has gone to almost 30 seasons and still remains popular. BBC might also be warning the producers about him but like... why would you listen to them? Top Gear has constantly stepped out of not only their boundaries but social boundaries and has made a global statement and stamp on automotive and other groups as well. They can almost make their own channel or move to another broadcasting station with the success.
Overall, I think they need to work it out and reach a medium in between.

Because they're run by a bunch of politically correct morons who don't want literally ANYONE to be offended that they are still allowing Clarkson to be shown on their network.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they fired Clarkson, as stupid of a move as it may sound. Of course, the show will immediately tank, then May and Hammond will quit, and the BBC will look stupid as hell.

That's not why they're suspending the show. They are postponing all later episodes because filming an episode requires Jeremy. Jeremy is currently suspended, and since each film is filmed the Wednesday before, the next episodes cannot be filmed.

If he really did punch someone then he deserves to be suspended. That is unacceptable under any circumstances and not professional at all.
