exactly. they want attention. Never think of the poor train driver who has no choice but to run over them. The guilt of the train driver???

hmmm...perhaps, we could employ those ex-murderers who still have a passion for killing as train drivers http://www.mycarforum.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/laugh.gif http://www.mycarforum.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/laugh.gif http://www.mycarforum.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/laugh.gif

some of the UK trainer drivers involved in such incident ('one under' case) could never return to their job & some those who returned to work after months of counselling have flashbacks when they are travelling near the accident site or feel nervous when they see ppl standing near the edge of the platform. Terrible consequences for other's selfish action.

Wtf? Final 3 shows of top gear cancelled.

 

http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-31824040

 

Sources said he was accused of hitting the producer in an incident last week, and the remaining three episodes of the current series might not be broadcast.

The BBC confirmed one episode - due for broadcast on Sunday - would not be shown, but gave few further details.

Clarkson, 54, has not commented, but has been joking on social media about films that could replace Sunday's show.

He was given what he called his "final warning" last May after claims he used a racist word during filming.

At the time, he said the BBC had told him he would be sacked if he made "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time".

In a statement earlier, the BBC said: "Following a fracas with a BBC producer, Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended pending an investigation.

"No one else has been suspended.

"Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday.

"The BBC will be making no further comment at this time."

 

BBC News special correspondent Lucy Manning said sources had confirmed reports Clarkson was suspended for "allegedly hitting a producer".

"The incident is believed to have happened last week, but was reported to the BBC on Monday and dealt with on Tuesday," she added.

"The next two episodes of Top Gear will not be broadcast and it's understood that a third programme, the final of the series, is unlikely to be transmitted."

'Sorry Ed'

Clarkson's representatives have yet to reply to requests for a comment.

In an exchange on Twitter, Clarkson and co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May have been suggesting films that could be aired in place of the Sunday's Top Gear episode.

Later - in an apparent reference to Ed Miliband - Clarkson tweeted: "Sorry Ed. It seems I knocked your 'I'm a human' piece down the news agenda."

Justine Miliband, the Labour leader's wife, has given an interview to the BBC saying she expects personal attacks on her husband to be "really vicious" as May's election approaches.

 

This weekend's episode of Top Gear was set to feature Clarkson - who has fronted the show since 2002 - and his fellow presenters at a classic track day.

Former footballer and pundit Gary Lineker was also to appear as the "star in a reasonably priced car".

Lineker has tweeted: "I don't think I'm ever meant to appear on Top Gear!"

'Strong character'

Former Top Gear presenter Chris Goffey told BBC Radio 5 live that, while discussions on the programme sometimes became heated when he worked on the show, it "must have been something fairly serious behind the scenes to warrant his immediate suspension".

"I can't think what the hell's gone on, but there you go. When you've got a very strong character who likes things his own way, if somebody stands up to him, there's going to be a row."

Clarkson has courted controversy on several occasions during his time hosting Top Gear.

 

The show's executive producer, Andy Wilman, described last year as an "annus horribilis" for the programme.

It followed an incident in Argentina where the presenters and crew were forced to flee the country after trouble erupted over a number plate reading H982 FLK - which some suggested referred to the Falklands conflict of 1982.

Last year the show was also censured by Ofcom for breaching broadcasting rules after Clarkson used a derogatory word for Asian people during its Burma special programme.

Other Top Gear controversies

  • May 2014 - The programme drew complaints when video footage leaked to the Daily Mirror appeared to show Jeremy Clarkson using a racist term while reciting the nursery rhyme Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe. The presenter later apologised for the incident, which was never broadcast
  • October 2012 - The BBC Trust ruled comments by Clarkson which likened the design of a camper van to people with facial disfigurements breached disability guidelines.
  • January 2012 - Indian diplomats complained about a 90-minute India special in which a car fitted with a toilet in its boot is described by Clarkson as "perfect for India because everyone who comes here gets the trots".
  • February 2011 - The BBC apologised to Mexico after Clarkson and his co-hosts characterised Mexicans as "lazy" and "feckless"

I'm not too crazy about JC and I think he's pushing his luck too far.

Well, he's a rich yob with some charisma and presence. I always wonder why people somehow expect better of him. Would anyone expect decency of a chao ah beng gangster type just because he won the TOTO? Same deal.

 

That having been said, I do grow tired of JC's constant antics. The problem is the nature of the draw for me: when I watch JC, I go for the humour and the persona. But if his personality becomes way too grating off-the-screen (never had an issue with his comments on-screen), then I really don't feel like watching him anymore. This is in contrast to people like Tiff Needel and Jason Plato who, combined, have the charisma of a potato, but can drive the wheels off any car. I would continue to watch Fifth Gear even if they behaved like yobs off-screen because TF and JP have something not many people have - a supernal talent for driving. JC doesn't have that at all - all he has going for him is his personality, and if he irritates people sufficiently, his viewership is going to suffer.

 

(My point about TF and JP behaving like yobs was purely hypothetical. By most accounts, they're splendid guys).

He can be a bit offensive with his remarks. But he's one of the major reasons i watch the show.


May and Hammond are good as well, but they need to play off the great ape...

Agree. I'd rather watch 5th gear.
