BBC will not renew Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘Top Gear’ contract
LA TimesThe BBC will not renew the contract of Jeremy Clarkson, the scrappy host of BBC’s “Top Gear” car show, after an alleged and widely publicized fracas with a producer on the show. A BBC statement on Wednesday said a physical altercation occurred between Clarkson and producer Oinsin Tymon, and the BBC also published its internal investigation of the incident. This decision should in no way detract from the extraordinary contribution that Jeremy Clarkson has made to the BBC.” BBC declined to renew Clarkson’s contract despite an online petition in support of Clarkson that garnered more than 1 million signatures. The incident occurred March 4 at the Simonstone Hall Hotel where Oisin was working on location for “Top Gear.” A verbal exchange between the two men ensued and then a 30 second physical altercation, according to the BBC investigation.
