Here's a bombshell... People keep saying stupid BBC this, and stupid BBC that. How about don't punch someone because you're hungry! Nobody should have to come to work to do their job and have to deal with being punched! That's just not on in this day and age in a civilised society.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of all three of them, and the show. But nobody is above common decency. Kudos to him for putting his hand up, apologising and basically taking everything that was coming to him though. But there's no excuse for what he did.
As fans, very disappointing, but they're not done. I fully expect another network (hopefully Netflix since they don't have to give a toss about what he says - they have no advertising revenue) to pick them up and run with them for as long as they want to keep filming. I know there's some that don't think what they do is any good, and let's face it, in recent years it's become more about the antics than the cars. But you're not a bloke if you can't enjoy three yobs in cars (or whatever else they choose) having fun and laughs - it's basically the perfect bloke lifestyle. No more BBC TopGear but it's not the end of Clarkson, Hammond and May.
