Throwing a punch at a guy shouldn't go without repercussions.
Yes, he's Top Gear. No, he should not punch a guy.

And that is why you don't screw with anyone's dinner. Tongue

This. Another article said, though:

Quote:"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."

I guess he wrote some thing about dinosaurs hinting that he will quit/resign? Was really dissapointed to not see a new episode last night. And it sucks that the last one aired was just not the best.

Umm, so, hitting a human, which in this case was the producer of the show, is okay and the consequences of doing so is not? Right.

But rumors says he didn't actually hit him, and in that case it's not okay, no.

The issue is a lot more complex. Also he allegedly hit a producer and nobody said consequences weren't necessary.

From what i can tell it looks more like a temper tantrum from an old man, nothing that can't be sorted between the two indiduals involved. The main problem i can see is that the BBC has completely failed to support the talent that Top gear relies on. And it has done so on numerous occasions.

In which case I'm agreeing with you. Seemingly it's not very clear whether he hit him, or whatever he did, then.

"Tymon hasn’t made an official complaint. Clarkson denies punching him, but admits there was ‘contact’ and has apologised profusely."

**[TC]►Ras◄** · 2015-03-16, 17:02

Maybe Clarkson just laid his hand on his shoulder and the producer calls it a hit.

Just because he's Jeremy Clarkson that's exactly what people are going to think. However true it may be, it's arrogant to assume the producer would go that far, just because you'd rather that Jeremybe in the right.

From what i heard there was no bad blood between them and Tymon didn't report the incident. He also is said to be a rather nice guy, so i can't see that at all.

It is probably more arrogant to think that an old TV host like Jeremy would go that far, as well. For all we know, whoever reported it may just have a grudge against Jeremy. Being the guy he is, it wouldn't surprise me if that happens now and then.

How about we all wait for an announcement before speculating on events none of us participated in or have insight to.

THE BBC lost 4 million viewers last night as they aired a repeat of a Red Arrows documentary in place of Top Gear following Jeremy Clarkson's suspension.
