    it wont continue - the "vibe" wont be the same. TBH it run its course a long time ago...was always good fun but recent series have been a little repetitive.

    Clarkson should go - yes hes got "charisma" but theres no excuse for assaulting another employee regardless of whether that employee took action or not. If they let him stay what kind of message does that give to the "younger generation" who being mainly blokes watch the program?

    its a setup, nothing more, nothing less. they wanted out of the bbc's option on a contract renewal....they got it.... i guess there is an american broadcaster ready to pay big.

    I had heard that the BBC had bought the rights to the brand Top Gear from Clarkson so even if he did move to anohther channel it isn't going to be Top Gear.
    They still have all the bits and Bob's including the Magazine which I don't think the 3 are involved with. Yes it's right he's gone, I know if I did that then I'd be out at my company. But what am I going to balance out the 4 or 5 nights of eastenders with now! Lol

    Love to see Clarkson doing something Motorsport based but different, say maybe monster trucks to the UK.

    Always loved top gear, if it does continue in some weird way I'll watch the first of the 2016 season and take it from there... Won't be the same but change can be good some times.

    Love Clarksons style so I'll follow his laddish ways whatever he does.
