Jeremy Clarkson is known for his controversial statements, attacking virtually anyone from fans of modern Peugeots to the British royal family. However, the last time he probably overdid his controversy at all costs, because the BBC suspended him for a fight with a producer.
The 54-year-old Clarkson, nicknamed Jezza, has not yet been officially fired from television and an investigation is being conducted into the matter, but the BBC's official position adds in one breath that the popular presenter received the last warning last May , when he used a racist term during filming. The television then informed him that one insulting comment at any time about anyone is enough and he will find himself without a job. Even from this it can be concluded that this is probably not some innocent joke.
Along with this announcement comes the news that the eighth episode of the 22nd series of Top Gear, which was originally due to air on Sunday night, is not being broadcast by the BBC. The reason is apparently Clarkson's behavior. We don't expect any further details about the case officially yet…
