This won't help the situation one jot either.

That threat apparently came from overseas. Maybe this will force the government (ha, none for the next few weeks) to rethink immigration policy.

I read else where Tony Hall gets a fat cat wage so clearly the police don't need to protect him as he can afford private protection.

Clarkson will be doing the Top Gear live tour and May is hinting at leaving Top Gear and Hamster is still down on the farm drooling over a big tractor.

The show must go on....but not as previously titled.

Quote:
Jeremy Clarkson is to appear again on stage with Richard Hammond and James May, with whom he presented the BBC's Top Gear.
A deal has been done to fulfil a series of live shows that were planned before the presenter was dropped from the show for hitting a producer.
The gigs will be stripped of all BBC branding and content and will be called Clarkson, Hammond and May Live.

How childishness of the BBC to side step the live tour, for flips sake.

No action to be taken by the police and still no word from Hamster and Capt Slow.

Oh no you are kidding, if she takes over that will be the end of Top Gear.

Good chance for him to give the BBC a good kicking, maybe.

After what happened to Angus, it's probably a wise move:

Looks like May is going to leave Top Gear.

Quote:
Top Gear's James May has ruled out returning to the show without Jeremy Clarkson.
In an interview with MediaGuardian he said: "Me and Hammond with a surrogate Jeremy is a non-starter, it just wouldn't work. That would be lame, or 'awks' as young people say."
"It has to be the three of us. You can't just put a surrogate Jeremy in and expect it to carry on. It would be forced. I don't believe they would be stupid enough to try that.
