<sigh>
My favourite TV show, other than F1 and college basketball has been canceled by the BBC. Apparently fisticuffs by Clarkson on a producer while Clarkson was on "Final Warning" (double-secret probation for the rest of us) was apparently the final straw. BBC reports that the remaining 3 episodes of season 22 will not be aired.
Hopefully they won't cancel the Melbourne F1 race or I'll be really pissed. |

He's just on probation while they "investigate" and it appears it was just a row over dinner, likely fueled by some liquid courage.
If the show truly is cancelled for good, I'd have to say they've had a great run and I've enjoyed their various separate projects. I would look forward to the three of them continuing in another series or separate series of some type.

BTW, Clarkson was the one that reported the "fracas" to the brass at the BBC. So make of that what you will.

+1
I also heard that Netflix may pick them up if they haven't already. I made a call to Netflix customer service a couple of weeks ago and gave them my opinion and they were surprisingly very receptive and welcomed the input so give them a call. Perhaps the more positive things they hear about the trio the better chances we'll have of seeing them! The number I called was 1-800-585-7265. Since I have an account this is what popped up plus a promo code to use for quicker service. For those outside the States you may just pop on to their website for a contact option.
