Personally I can only see this as the right thing to do. I enjoy Top Gear and Clarkson as much as the next guy, but I think it was kind of ridiculous that a million people (no seriously) signed a petition to get him back on the show even though he berated and assaulted another person. Duck Dynasty guy mentions not being pro-LGBT and everyone calls for his head. Clarkson beats up at guy after several minutes of yelling at him and everyone thinks it should be forgotten.

Top Gear will probably be boycotted now because people think that because you can make some good jokes, it's ok to beat someone up for something as silly as not getting the food you wanted. It's a real shame that the show, May, and Hammond may have to suffer because people are so willing to forgive an act.

What do you think?

Just as I was reading an article about this in a newspaper, I saw this topic just posted here.

I think the sacking was a good idea(Clarkson's always been a bit of a controversial guy) as some of his jokes went over the line, even though other things such as the cars and various other things made up for it, sort of. I think the BBC will try to get a new host(probably Chris Evans from Radio 2, is it?) especially due to the series popularity. Regarding the producer incident, its simply stupid to verbally abuse someone for like 20+ mins as well as beat them up for half a minute over the fact that a hotel didn't serve hot food anymore. However, it'll be interesting to see where Top Gear goes after this.

I don't know what'll happen to Top Gear, seeing as Jeremy acted as the 'main guy.' I would've liked to see him stay, but oh well.

I honestly feel really bad for May and Hammond.

They know that the show will just collapse in on itself without Jeremy Clarkson, but they've essentially just lost their own jobs (Top Gear was probably their main source of work / money) because of some food.

One guy doesn't make a show.

It's about time the other 2 are able to shine.
