Jeremy Clarkson, Top Gear Host, Suspended By BBC After 'fracas' by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:10am On Mar 11, 2015


Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended by the BBC after what it called a "fracas" with a producer.
Sources said he was accused of hitting the producer in an incident last week, and the remaining three episodes of the current series might not be broadcast.
The BBC confirmed one episode - due for broadcast on Sunday - would not be shown, but gave few further details.
Clarkson, 54, has not commented, but has been joking on social media about films that could replace Sunday's show.
He was given what he called his "final warning" last May after claims he used a racist word during filming.
At the time, he said the BBC had told him he would be sacked if he made "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time".
In a statement earlier, the BBC said: "Following a fracas with a BBC producer, Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended pending an investigation.
"No one else has been suspended.
"Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday.
"The BBC will be making no further comment at this time."

The. Guy get sharp tongue which ironically gave 'top gear' the success it has attained.......however,the sensitivity when it comes to religion,race,disability means that TV people should never venture into those areas. Still Jeremy's greatest fan though

I love Top Gear and by implication, I'm Jeremy's fan because I'm car freak but then I hate racist and sentimentals. We all know this would come but it's sooner than expected.

I am not surprised. His hatred on French has been so pronounced from the beginning.

Nothing good comes out of been a racist or tribalist. Negativity.

Notwithstanding, I wish him the best. He is only a human.

I enjoy top gear even more than football because of his knowledge of cars, I just hope he's pardoned.
