Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson, age 54, of popular TV series, TopGear, has been sacked.
I was amazed as you are when when BBC, the host of the popular TV motoring series, TopGear, announced that its contract with co-host, Jeremy Clarkson, will not be renewed.
Jeremy Clarkson, a British journalist whose specialty is on motoring started work with BBC in 2002 has ended his appointment with BBC in 2015 following his involvement in a physical attack with one of TopGear's producer, Oisin Tymon. The fight took place in Yorkshire Hotel. It was confirmed that Jeremy attacked the producer because "No Hot Food Was Served After The Day's Filming"
During the attack, the victim was struck by Jeremy resulting into bleeding and swelling of the victim's lips. Jeremy was also accused of engaging the victim in 30seconds verbal abuses. According to investigation, the victim did not file a formal complaint against Jeremy. Jeremy reported himself to the authority.
Following this, Jeremy was suspended in March 10 and was later dismissed after he was found guilty of the offense. BBC director, Tony Hall, has confirmed Jeremy's dismissal. The development has attracted over a million comments from fans to reinstate Jeremy. However, Tony Hall has also confirmed that Jeremy's dismissal was irrevocable stating that Jeremy had crossed the line.
The question is, can TopGear live without Jeremy Clarkson?
Comments please.
