I think that Hammond and May need to think very carefully because they both do other things for the BBC, and are more watchable in a more serious role.
There is some talk about transmitting the remaining episodes of this series and the BBC are looking at how this might be achieved, without Clarkson.
However much you dislike somebody, throwing a punch is never likely to end well, and lets face it, TG has become stale and sometimes unwatchable in recent series.
