Jane10- they are all looking for new contracts elsewhere- so no wonder. It does look more and more as the whole thing was pre-meditated by the 3 of them as their contracts with the Beeb are up.
Having seen the news it looks like a million people think JC IS funny! You lot don't have to like him or actually watch him! James May and Richard Hammond have refused to continue Top Gear without him. That says something....
I wonder why JC really hit the producer. How the conversation really went leading up to the punch. Was it really just about dinner, or did one thing lead to another?
I dislike JC's attitudes and the way he conveys them - but a bit of me also feels rather sorry for him. Anyone who feeds on publicity as he does and who gets so overwrought that he finds it hard to control his temper is not a happy bunny. You feel he is on the edge all the time. Maybe some time out is what he needs.
Well I find the very contrived, carefully scripted humour boring JessM. As does my car mad son who used to enjoy watching it but now doesn't watch it as it's all so predictable.
