    They are taking the studio apart - so whatever it is, it won't be the same.

    From today's newspapers:



    The unsavoury incident unfolded earlier this month when Jeremy Clarkson and his fellow Top Gear presenters Richard Hammond and James May belatedly arrived at a luxury hotel following a drinking session.

    The presenters were scheduled to arrive at Simonstone Hall Hotel in the Yorkshire Dales at 8pm after travelling by helicopter following a day of filming at the programme's studios in Dunsfold, Surrey.

    But the trio ignored the pre-arranged plan and kept the helicopter waiting as they went to a local pub close to the studio for two hours.

    They eventually arrived at the four-star hotel, where more than ten rooms were booked at a cost of £5,760, after 10pm.

    Most of the production team had already gone to bed but Oisin Tymon stayed up to greet the group.

    After being told the hotel's dinner service had ended and that the chef had gone home, the presenters were offered a cheese or meat platter, soup or a bar snack.

    An irate Clarkson, who was said to have been drinking rosé wine, became incensed at the offer and ranted that it was 'ridiculous there was nothing to eat'.

    Perched at the hotel's bar, he shouted: 'He's f****** gone' as people tried to calm him down. His co-stars and other guests looked on in disbelief as he began to vent his anger at Mr Tymon, who he blamed for not organising a hot supper. The presenter used a multitude of expletives as he demanded a £21.95 8oz steak from the hotel's menu.

    He was eventually served a steak and peppercorn sandwich in a private room after the hotel's general manager Robert Scott agreed to cook a late-night dinner for the trio of presenters.

    A small group of the Top Gear crew moved to a patio area located at the rear of the hotel, used by smokers and guests enjoying the stunning scenery.

    The enraged presenter continued his verbal tirade towards the producer, using the 'strongest expletives' as he threatened to sack him over the supposed mistake.

    After allegedly calling the producer a 'lazy Irish c***', Clarkson launched an extraordinary attack on Mr Tymon. During the sustained outburst, he punched the producer, leaving him with a split lip and blood running down his face.

    Despite being assaulted for 30 seconds Mr Tymon did not retaliate and the attack was only stopped when a witness intervened.

    Clarkson returned to the hotel where he continued his loud and aggressive rant over a sustained period.

    He continued to direct his derogatory insults at Mr Tymon, before aiming his vitriol at other members of the Top Gear crew who had joined the group.

    His frequent outbursts – said to have lasted 40 minutes from start to finish - were so loud that guests in one of the hotel's bedrooms and in an adjoining dining room could hear the stream of abuse. The victim made a 70-minute journey to the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton, where he received treatment for a swollen lip and dizziness.


    Clarkson made numerous attempts to apologise to Mr Tymon, who was convinced he had lost his job, both in person and by text message and email.

    When the crew left the hotel three days later Clarkson told one member of staff: 'It's been really pleasant, apart from the obvious.'

    Production coordinator Emma Lawrence wrote in the hotel's guestbook that the team had had a 'wonderful, friendly and extremely accommodating stay'. Clarkson eventually referred himself to BBC management.






    Sounds like a nice guy. Not.

    Is there something specific he's done to you :eek: I find it rather worrying that you can hate someone you've probably never met so much. I'm personally indifferent to a few people but can't think of anyone I hate o_O

  7. I wouldn't say I hate him. Hate is a strong word. But I do think he is arrogant. I don't like the program and never have. I think he has been paid an enormous amount of money for playing silly games. I know a lot of people do like him, and the program. But me, I just don't get it.

    It's all a publicity stunt:
    Who takes a 70 minute journey to hospital for a thick lip?
    IF he did it I agree it was out of order.
    I still think he's quite funny (unlike top gear which was crap).
