Apparently this is the guy the allegation is about:

Oisin-Tymon_2269185a.jpg Click for full size ( biggish )

I'd be very tempted too.

I don't condone violence in the work place but I know how these things can build up.

The BBC claim the format but they abandoned it a few years ago and CH4 made their own clone 5th Gear so sole ownership of the format by the BBC is not a given though characters such as "The Stig" probably are.

That's just punishing the rest of the cast and crew.

They should be able to air a cut down episode with just the other two presenters(plus the Stig) especially if it still required a small amount of filming to complete.
They are Filmed on Wednesday at aired on Sunday.

More story emerges:

Quote:
“Clarkson didn’t like the idea of sandwiches and demanded a juicy steak. He wanted his own way.

“The producer was being blamed for not arranging hot food.

“Clarkson didn’t hit him — but he did use every possible swear word you can imagine. He had to be held back. The producer just stood there looking embarrassed.

“The general manager ended up cooking Clarkson’s steak. He apologised the next morning.”
So he didn't actually connect.

Quote:
Insiders say the director of BBC Television Danny Cohen is “out to get” Clarkson because of his out-spoken antics.

The star told friends Cohen had “thrown him to the wolves” when the team were attacked while filming in Argentina last year.
Still waters run deep.

Paywall linky

Additional: Petition now has >650,000 signatures.

From Guido Fawks (Same link)

Quote:
The Beeb is much more comfortable with Leftie comedians than a bloke who cracks jokes about shooting striking public sector workers and is mates with David Cameron.

Some at the BBC won’t be happy until Top Gear is fronted by a one-legged lesbian hippy driving a car made out of recycled cans and running on lentils.
Herein lies the nub of the problem IMO.

Maybe. It could also be that the BBC received an allegation of violence/punching/'fracas' between their members of staff.
