Whoever here is commenting about TG not being a show about cars and they are above this sort of humor and the usual holier than thou nonsense, to them I say this - TG acknowledges that fully, it is supposed to be just three oversized man-childs (well two + Hammond) having fun like any of us would dream of to do one day. It is not a factual documentary and doesn't try to be one, hasn't been one since it was revised in 2002, and it wasn't much of one before that anyway. Believe it or not, these lads are one of the few remaining beacons of a simpler form of humor in an ever changing dull PC world, and they are damn good entertainers in their own right, their testament being TG's top of the world viewership numbers.
If you are really interested in facts then you have wonderful alternatives like Fifth Gear, so I don't understand this TG bashing because it isn't one... do you like want everything in the world to be covered in the same dull beige wallpaper or despise others that want some fun? Like the dude here that came barging in saying
when he doesn't even watch the show. All this "I'm above it all" racket on the internet where people think they somehow become superior if they diss a popular thing is quite amusing. And it was a punch, Clarkson is a diva to say the least... ofc he punched someone but who cares really, this should have been settled over a beer and a few man hugs, not to go crying to their mommies to make sure the kid that punched you gets grounded.
And last I heard BBC was trying to rid themselves of JC for a long time but they couldn't because they had no grounds to do so and he had all the supporters he would need "in the world". But now that they have something against him, something as small as a flipping punch they are gonna use it to the whole extent to try and sack him. There is an investigation going on about the punch...........................
INVESTIGATION about an f'ing punch, when the whole crew was there to testify what actually happened. BBC is still run using the tax money of people though, so I doubt they would emerge in a good light if they piss of millions of tax payers by ignoring their petition. This is all just some elementary school drama playing out on a corporate scale, a silly waste of time that helps nobody.
