Tho' I totally agree that the recent series of TG have been dreary and predictable (a sure sign as Dave says that the format is tired), I've never been one of the Clarkson haters - in fact I've always found the two fingers up at PC which has always been central to the TG brand admirable and very rare in the meeeja.
However....I do think that bullying in the workplace is a very unattractive trait, if that's what Clarkson's guilty of, then he must be sanctioned.
If you think back to the sacking of Andy Gray & Richard Keys, the fact which shone through was that of their arrogance and unpleasantness towards their colleagues, so when the manure hit the air conditioning the knives were all out like it was the ides of March. Time will tell if that sort of atmosphere pervaded the TG production team; if this was a one off incident, it will blow over. If (as in the Sky case) it was a more profound problem then it'll be curtains.
