Petition to reinstate Clarkson after suspension
11/03/2015
BBC TV Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson – one of the Cotswolds’ most famous residents – has been suspended after allegedly punching a producer.
Clarkson, aged 54, was involved in a “fracas”, leading the BBC to decide not to show next Sunday’s episode. The broadcaster is also expected to scrap the remainder of the current series of Top Gear.
Clarkson, aged 54, was involved in a “fracas”, leading the BBC to decide not to show next Sunday’s episode. The broadcaster is also expected to scrap the remainder of the current series of Top Gear.
But an online petition calling for the BBC to “reinstate” Clarkson has been signed by almost 250,000 people. It was started yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon by political blogger Guido Fawkes.
Clarkson has not issued a statement, but has joked on Twitter about films that could replace Sunday’s show.
Clarkson writes a regular column for the Sun newspaper where he is quoted as saying: “I’m having a nice cold pint and waiting for this to blow over.” A “source close to the star” is quoted as denying Clarkson punched anyone.
The incident is believed to have happened last week, but was reported to the BBC on Monday.
Clarkson, who has presented the motoring programme since 2002, was given what he called his “final warning” last May after claims he used a racist word during filming. He later apologised for the incident, which was never broadcast.
Clarkson, who lives in Chipping Norton, has in recent years been an active supporter of the Chipping Norton Lido where he has acted as auctioneer for its fundraising auction of promises.
The colourful TV presenter and journalist is due to officiate again at the next auction at Chipping Norton Town Hall on Friday, April 10.
