COYW Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) I think the producer is top dog & runs the show. Clarkson, the one with the girly hair and the midget will do what he says. Clarkson ran that particular show. Him and the bloke he worked with to relaunch it when it was on its uppers, have made millions selling the worldwide rights back to the Beeb, £14M in Clarkson's case. It's now the most watched BBC programme around the world. Edited March 26, 2015 by COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted March 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2015 No complaints about them letting him go, I can't see any other way BUT the BBC (again), what a total fuck up they made of this whole thing. They want to concentrate on making sure Oish (as they called him) is right. Fair enough. But they are happy to hang Clarkson out to dry. Left-wing right on bullying cunts.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted March 26, 2015 Site Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2015 Clarkson ran that particular show. Him and the bloke he worked with to relaunch it when it was on its uppers, have made millions selling the worldwide rights back to the Beeb, £14M in Clarkson's case. It's now the most watched BBC programme around the world. Exactly true. He and the main producer (forget his name but GC mentions him a lot in his books) reset TopGear and made it into an entertainment rather than motoring show. They both worked very hard on its format and made millions out of it as well as BBC WW. Was Clarkson acting like a spoilt cock fuelled by a few too many beers that night? Yes. Did the producers fuck up a bit with no hot food, knowing him and what he likes? Yes. Did the BBC have any other choice once it went public? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted March 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2015 Last bit is absolute nonsense. Only bully here is Clarkson. He slapped a bloke, for reasons we don't entirely know. That doesn't necessarily make him a bully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
