I love how they've got cancelled and a museum was immediately put up

It's actually been around for years, progressively getting bigger

They didn't get cancelled, a jackass who assaulted a coworker got fired.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 15

Wrong. He didn't get fired, he was suspended and his contract was not extended afterwards.

It should be playing "Born to be Wild," dammit, with that paint job and fuel tank...

It appears to be a smaller replica.

Why build one when you can build two at twice the price? - BBC, probably.

Absolutely. I can't imagine what it took to get Oliver to Africa. I wouldn't be surprised if Hammond drove him all the way back to Blighty.

Firing Clarkson was really their most appealing option politically. Unlike Jimmy Savile, Clarkson did not step to the beat.

11 years ago | Likes 60 Dislikes 4

I feel like they could have suspended him until the issue got worked out, then fired him if they felt like he'd keep being an issue.

11 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 0

That is exactly what they did.

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Given it was an assault i believe that they WERE in the right, but Savile proves that the BBC was willing to cover for those they like

11 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

pfft they should have handled it like men, had a duel, someone died, problem resolved

Different people in charge at different times. Now if it were the same person, maybe, but no.

Executives change all the time. BTW by firing Clarkson they prevented any fallout and kept the good name of the BBC.

11 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

To my knowledge they had already given him multiple warnings over the course of years..at some point they needed to do something, I guess.

Umm.. the BBC didn't fire him, and he is still with the BBC and doing shows, he is just not on top gear anymore....

Definitely worth it. Also, random fact of the day; there are no horses in the New Forest, they are all ponies.
