LONDON — Is the end of the road in sight for Jeremy Clarkson’s relationship with the BBC? The presenter of hit motoring show “Top Gear” may quit, even if he is cleared of an allegation that he punched one of the show’s producers, leading to his suspension.
The BBC is set to pull the remaining episodes in the present season of the show, which has a global audience estimated at more than 350 million in 214 territories, following the incident. The next two episodes have been removed from the BBC schedules already, and a third, the final of the season, is unlikely to air either.
Clarkson’s relationship with top BBC executives has deteriorated to the point where he may jump even if he isn’t pushed. “Can I see him going back to film another BBC (season)? I don’t think so. But he’ll be fine. The other broadcasters will bite his arm off,” a source close to the presenter told Radio Times magazine Wednesday.
