In all honesty, I can not for the life of me even hear the N-word in that clip. In fact, they had to put the audio through forensics to tell what he was saying.

So if the WORLD'S MOST WATCHED TV SHOW hasn't got a few extra pounds to rent a few Ferrari's and film a video or two for a couple more episodes, something's up. Where does this money go? The executives? Of course.

Your carer told you explicitly not to use the computer without her supervising you.

The last time I checked, Jeremy Clarkson was not the executive producer of Top Gear and doesn't have the last say in what goes into every episode. None of the segments were aired live which means they met the approval of someone else after Clarkson said the "derogatory" statements. This is in no way Clarkson's fault…

Indeed...I've been in TV ever since 1976. Rule 1 is destroy the outtakes. Otherwise, they will show up again, perhaps years down the road, to haunt you.

you make a good point, while he did push for it not to be used, they should have roasted it.

The Beeb doesn't have a whole lot of high ground considering the entire Jimmy Savile affair.

I knew the background between Clarkson and Piers, but didn't fully grasp the paper's motivations. Thanks!

A bit of background on the Mirror vs. Clarkson for non-Brits:

Here's the genuinely bad part. When I read the article last night, without audio, I could totally believe he said it. Based on the article I read, the implication was that it was fairly clear that he said it. Now I've watched the attached video, and I can't hear it at all. But I had no problem believing he could have…

there's an F1 episode... i giggled when he said "every surface is sculpted to provide maximum downforce and minimun drag", partly because the sculptor gets kicked in the balls by the FIA before he gets to start. hooray FIA

It is in 30 years. Definitely. We actually dont know how to harness graphene properly yet and probably wont for a few decades.

for example in Australia and the USA.

In fact, the only reason we innocent babes caught wind of it was because a British person sued over it. So don't go blaming us, Brits!

The 'Sueing' that you mention Michael is ongoing.. She won't win.

Thanks Rutledge Wood. You had one job assigned to you by TG and you failed it.........

Too stupid for words.

I agree, he is a colossal douchebag, but fuck Italy. Go Germay!

Car rugby was even better:

I guess if they went to Oz they should be able to make it to UK. I think its a great idea.
