Jeremy Clarkson Pulls Out Of Planned BBC Program Appearance
Aside from not presenting cars on BBC anymore, former “Top Gear” host Jeremy Clarkson won’t be appearing on another BBC program, as well.
The Daily Mirror reports Clarkson was to guest-host the satirical show “Have I Got News For You” later in April, but has pulled out for the time being. Hat Trick Productions managing director Jimmy Mulville, whose company produces the show for the BBC, says he and his staff “fully expect him to resume his hosting duties later in the year.”
Until then, Clarkson and his colleagues Richard Hammond and James May will be hosting a number of live shows in the United Kingdom, Norway, South Africa and Australia. However, the shows will have no association with “Top Gear” or the BBC — meaning no clips from the show or appearances by The Stig — and will be billed simply as Clarkson, Hammond and May Live.

Despite Clarkson there are still many examples of fine Brits: (NSFW) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/10075883/Star-Trek-Does-a-man-really-need-to-apologise-for-Alice-Eves-underwear-scene.html
Being a carcentric blog, I guess most of the readers here would only know of Clarkson for his work on TG. But it goes a lot further than that. He is also a very capable producer ,director and writer and has done a lot of work for the BEEB over the last 20 years . (and is sitting on a pot of money...). For those who may be interested,this is a fine piece of work by Clarkson ; " PQ17: An Arctic Convoy Disaster " .
Alas, the TV show ran its course. Time to make a movie.
Oh No....! heaven help us .
