AMAZING episode.

Why can't we all have jobs like that?

It was a great episode !

Another brilliant season !! Should be mandatory viewing for all men.

If anyone wants to watch the current season episodes, but can't find it, let me know and one of us will post links.

Purchased latest season for my Xbox...great season indeed!

Loving the new season thus far !

FYI Top Gear watchers, the next two episodes of Top Gear UK have been postponed. This is due to a report that Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended from the show. According to a Radio Times report Clarkson threw a punch at a male producer during an altercation last week. Yesterday this news was reported to the BBC who then took the action. Until an investigation into the events have been completed it appears Top Gear UK will continue being postponed.

Son of a Bitch !! I saw this news break yesterday .. so disappointed.

JC seems to have a target on his back the last few years, maybe partially earned, but overall just a convenient target. I can't believe they will shoot themself in the foot and mess with the most popular show in the world, and one that makes money for the BBC hand over fist.

I heard they were delaying the airing of the last 2 episodes, and may not ever air the final one. I would hope this all changes for the positive, I would prefer they air them all and not get a credit for unaired episodes I paid for on the Season Pass.

Curious what Hammond and May would do if he were to be sacked ? Sell the show to HBO and let them go crazy with their comments ??

I'm available as a fill-in .. just saying .. couldn't be worse than season one of TG USA.

This just in - Jeremy Clarkson has been sacked.

Edited to add the "investigation report"

BBC has dealt a severe blow to their revenue and fans. I for one understand the decision, but would have found a way to keep Clarkson and TG running.

Huge negative feelings and sadness to see my favorite show go away.

I fully expect that our favorite trio will end up somewhere else doing the same thing...just with a different name.
Maybe Netflix?

I wonder if he'll have trouble hiring associate producers.

I think what has been most disturbing for me are all the folks completely dismissing that Clarkson did anything wrong and actually going after / blaming the producer. SMH

Part of me thinks it would have been more appropriate for them to suspend him while turning over all the information to the police to investigate and charge his for assault. On the other hand, it says that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated, no matter how popular you are or how much revenue you bring in... wrong is wrong - period.

Initially I felt the same way, but surprisingly at least to me a lot of his co-workers are on his side as well. It makes me think that for some reason they feel he was provoked. I don't know enough about the situation to have an opinion either way at this point.

I agree Ashman, I've always wondered why people have opinions on the private matters of celebrities.
