Yea, that Alaska special owned and it was one of the few things they did that wasn't a pure copy of a TGUK episode's worth of challenges.

That one, and a handful of other S1 episodes were genuinely pretty great. But yeah, that special is what made me a proper fan of TGUSA, it really turned the show around.

With all the Thunderbirds references as of late they should just replace Clarkson with a supermarionette version of himself with a reasonably similar voice and an insatiable appetite for doing good deeds.

PT6A posted:I've neither seen nor heard of that show. Are there decent things in Britain that never make it to BBC Canada, so they can show more old, lovely soap operas? Take everything that PBS has ever shown that isn't about nature or children and there is a good chance it a BBC production. It airs in North American in April, and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norvell is due this summer.

From his twitter/writing and general appearance he's been getting fitter, there is definite diminishing in his man-baby gut so the Fracas in Clarkcrackas was probably itching to start swinging. Probably the Rose and sugar was keeping him docile - though, weren't the production crew usually pretty good.

According to the most recent story I read about this, he punched a producer (not Wilman, another guy who's been on the show for 10 years) for the crime of not ordering catering for them after a late night of shooting in Newcastle. I love this show and I don't want it to end, but if that's true (and given that it's a British paper there's a good chance it isn't) I don't understand how this is getting resolved soon. He punched a man who worked for him because he didn't provide dinner. That's not an action a rational man takes. He's got serious troubles if this is true, and he needs to drop his stupid persona if he has any chance of surviving it. I kind of hope I'm wrong.

I'm pretty sure getting heated after a long, stressful day happens and it's always the dumbest poo poo that is the last thing to set someone off. Clarkson isn't headed for a mental care ward. If the story is true, he shouldn't have punched the guy, but I can understand being pissed about something like that.

Are the hundreds of millions of dollars and international franchies cranking out doctor-who-levels of money for the beeb allow for even more "Last chance this time clarkson for reals". I dont want "The colbert report", "Top gear" and "The daily show" all to suddenly die in like a year of eachother What the hell will i watch?

Given Clarkson's temperament, it's all probably true (the mad ferris-wheel-punching-hootenanny, that is), but what are the chances this is all a viral stunt? I'll give it 99-1 that it isn't, but I like to save old pieces of string too, so long as they're warm and fuzzy and fit around the right places. More power, old chap. More power.

There's a certain amusement watching the BBC's handwringing over every vaguely controversial thing Clarkson says or does (not to downplay what may have gone on here), when they're the same organisation that let child rapists have free reign of the place for like 40 years.

There's already two or three op-ed pieces in the Guardian about how evil Clarkson should resign and shame on the BBC for employing him. They must have these articles pre-written and just fill in the blanks like they do with obituaries.
