Cast and crew were at a hotel in order to shoot the next day. Think JC and the boys flew in from Surrey (where they were shooting earlier in the day) just to grab a meal and then crash out for the night. Although they delayed the helio cause of pub.....
so we lost one of the greatest tv comedies because of some shit that happened after work? thats just insane
I'm surprised at how many people want the guy who's famous and making millions to be able to get away with assaulting someone he's worked with for 10 years, simply because of his fame, money, and working on a show that's liked.
rich and famous blah blah blah, if you get into a fight with a co-worker at a bar after work, would you be upset if you were fired?
So tell me Astro, where's the line that you'd be okay with him getting fired? Clearly berating someone for 20 minutes and assaulting them to the point that someone else had to step in and seperate him isn't enough, so what is? Broken bones? Eye gouged out? Using a knife to stab him? Gunshot? Beating puppies to death and eating them? Where do you draw the line?
heated argument followed by a brief scuffle at a bar after work. holy shit. stop the presses.
I like Top Gear as much as the next guy but you cannot act like Clarkson did. The producer should have sued the fuck out of the BBC for the hostile work environment then laughed all the way to the bank.
It is not on your own time though you fucking mongoloid. The company is still paying for that trip, the hotel, the food, the per diem, etc what ever the BBC does. I travel for work all the time and you better fucking believe what happens while I am on the companies dime matters.
the company pays for all that stuff, but they dont own him. lets say this wasnt about a fight. lets say that clarkson banged the dude's wife and it was found out. would you still be expecting him to be fired?
The BBC isn't run by the government, in fact the current UK government is generally regarded as being hostile towards the BBC.

Depends on what the terms of his contract is. There are tons of morality clauses in any major employment contract. Likely not for sex but definitely for something illegal like what happened here.
Building a strawman to deflect away from the facts? Come on Astro, I like you mate, but JC clearly went full bore primedonna over not getting a hot steak, and isn't getting his contract renewed because of it.
i think i would be more upset that my wife was banging jeremy clarkson over me being slugged by jeremy clarkson, but thats just me. so you think because this was a legal issue its why he was fired? ok then lets say clarkson and this guy were walking around smoking a giant bong and it was photographed and all over those trashy Brit newspapers the next day. marijuana is still illegal in the UK right? i imagine thats considered a more serious crime than simple assault. what do you think would happen?
I cannot comment on what is a greater crime or not in the UK and I am not going too. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
