With Jeremy Clarkson's latest incident and the possibility of the termination of his employment at the BBC, Top Gears survival hangs on a silk thread.
No real news from May or Hammond.(at least that i could find)
But if Clarkson goes, they will probably follow suit.
Also the contracts of all three of the host's are to be renewed(or not).
Although i do enjoy the show greatly
To be honest, i do feel Top Gear was on a downwards spiral quite some time now.
It lost it's feel as a motoring show.
Even a couple of seasons back the focus was fast cars we will never be able to own, and sensible cars we could own and why we should/shouldn't buy them.
they still do the fast cars, but not so much the sensible ones.(Unless it has GT in the name)
And i think they go a bit overboard with the road trips.
Although quite fun to watch, the build challenges aren't really motoring journalism either.
Personally i don't think Clarkson can be replaced.
And maybe Top Gear pays to much of the bills for the BBC to cancel it.
So they may be more lenient.
But if indeed he punched a staff member in the face, The BBC will have no choice in the matter.
