    Top gear makes the bbc circa £100m per year. That is a big funding hole to fill. I am seriously worried that the bbc will either make a call for higher licence fees, or the quality of programming will take a nosedive.

    As for clarkson I heard he may be making a show for Netflix

    Nah, mate, don't worry, they can save that sort of money by not having BBC Breakfast branded coffee mugs and umbrellas and by not having BBC logos on everything in the stationery cupboard.

    Not only that, but ain't a producer senior to a presenter? Probably come out of Uni giving it Johnny Big Potatas to JC and got parked up for his efforts

    'Ere Rob, do you have to go to a special school to learn all these "Right tasty geezer phrases", or can you do a correspondence course? :wink:

    Some of us though just turn up for a days work with the unreasonable expectation that we won't be assaulted by our more senior colleagues...oh and yes, I am aware you're just trolling for a reaction.

    I find that hard to believe Bournemouth, I bet there are plenty of people who want to lamp you one at work...
    Sadly, there's an element of truth in that...
    But they obviously have way more sense than Clarkson.
    or way less money in the bank!
