I hope the inevitable cellphone footage of it comes out. As it sounds now, Clarkson is a dick of a mean drunk and the producer is a little bitch.

Yeah...shoot the original format here. The current U.S. version sucks and I can`t stand the hosts. I have no problem with what happened; that producer was probably saying some crazy shit, also.
I like the fact that Clarkson hates 911s. I always crack up when he puts down my car.

I was disappointed that the summary of the BBC investigation they released didn't mention what the dust up was about at all or any information about the circumstances surrounding it.

There have been several versions out there, from "he was pissed he couldn't get a steak after coming back from the pub" to "they were shooting for 12 hours with no food as part of the bit/segment they were filming that day and the punched producer was suppose to have a meal ready for them at the end."
I don't know if there has been anything on the record from anyone, which is why I was hoping for a little clarity from the BBC report.

Doesn't matter what really started it, just curious how much it escalated before the punch.
...if they ever do The Slap season 2.

Someone did a poll on who should replace Clarkson. The most popular choice was Steve Coogan.
Second was Chris Evans, the morning radio host who paid a bazillion dollars for James Coburn's Ferrari California.
Third was Sabine Schmidt, the Queen of the Nurburgring who tried to drive a van around that track in less than 10 minutes back in series 5 or 6 (and a host of the German version of Top Gear).
