Not my favourite person (I have met him professionally) but I do think he can be entertaining. However, it looks like he might have overstepped the mark this time....

He's just too arrogant for my liking. How can they pull the show if he owns the rights to it?

I believe that the ownership of the programme and the merchandising are quite complicated Margaret. see here

There is little doubt that had it not been for Clarkson the programme would have died many years ago. But I guess the question must be, is it now past its use by date?

From another site, I hear that Mr.C sold his 30% of shares to the BBC about 2 weeks ago. - I have not verified this as yet.

Wonder if Sky CH5 etc. are already making overtures to him?

So the BBC have let him go and the police are looking into an assault case. Somehow, I don't think we have heard the last of Mr.C.
