I enjoy Top Gear. Even though i dont enjoy car shows.

Although I dont care, because I dont actively watch it

Oh, it seems BBC wants to lose a huge amount of money.

there's no top gear uk without clarkson, he'll be back

NO, NOT HIM, PLEASE, I BEG

The show thrives off of him. It could never survive with just Hammond and captain slow

They would be really silly if they do this.

no one is bigger than BBC, i like that sentance. look, i love top gear and i watched every single episode, but if someone starts to act cocky and thinks he is the centre of universe, than yo uneed to get rid of that guy even if he is the host of the show. i dont mind if they fire him, but would be happy if he stays on

The show won't be the same without him. I'll probably still watch it, but not as eagerly. If it was just him running his mouth again, I'd say it's par for the course and they should expect that from him, but violence in the workplace? Sucks, but they're probably not going to keep him around.

The BBC doesnt need Clarkson. Their business model (for those who dont know) is unique; everyone with a TV set has to buy a licence (£145 / $218) once a year or be taken to court and fined £1000+. This licence is regardless of if you even watch the BBC channels on it or not.
Government backed protection racket style...
So ratings and public opinion are completely irrelevant to them (BBC) as they get their money in full just by you owning a TV, dosent make any difference if you even turn it on...

EDIT: In the UK of course. I don't know about their overseas selling.
