BBC News - Jeremy Clarkson: BBC gave me final warning

Well looks like the show is over. I thought the whole point of Clarkson being on that show was to make people shout "did he just say that?"

p.s. If this needs to be moved to High Drama, so be it

Meh......I HIGHLY doubt it. WAY too much money and viewers to take any threats seriously. The BBC is just cowardly saying what they think they need to say. I'll believe it's over when he actually gets fired, and even then, all he would have to do is take the show elsewhere, and there would be one Hell of a line to sign him. Top Gear is the most watched show in the history of television, and at one time held an estimated 750 million viewers PER DAY.

He also highlighted that the expert used by the Daily Mirror had told LBC that she could only be 75% certain the word was used.

A whole 75%? Well, there you go.......

Gone are the days of Seinfeld holding the top spot. Not that Jerry doesn't still make loads off of royalties.

Well I hope yall are right, cuz I love me some Top Gear, but I feel sorry for the BBC spokesperson who has to step up after this ultimatum (which does feel a little unrealistic in scope)
