[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 717887, member: 72205"] Don't be surprised if there is at least one female presenter not for any reason of equality but just to shake things up a bit. Plus top gear has been trying to shake the male only viewpoint for years I actually believe a stat put up by the BBC says 40% of the viewership is female. However for many years if you got tickets to watch filming you had to take an equal mix of genders (before BBC ownership so who knows). As long as the people replacing them keep TG close to what it's become but still make it feel refresh I have no issue what race/age/gender the people making it are. They've managed to sell it in other markets with different presenters so it's not like it's complete undoable. I think by all account Clarkson knew he was done for, OT did not report him to the BBC Clarkson did (probably to pre-empt a member of the public doing so) that suggest he knew he messed up as if he didn't think anything wrong he'd have left it. His other major problem is the unprovoked element (which according to the BBC he agrees on) I think had he been goaded by OT in some way he'd probably have kept his job. The bit that surprises me the most is while Clarkson has a reputation for being an un-PC oaf (nothing wrong with that) he doesn't really have one for being much a bully and certainly this episode feels completely out of character. what I'd like to know if he wasn't goaded what did send of the edge that day.
