Former Top Gear Presenter: "Jeremy Clarkson Made The Show"

[@MorningGI0ry]

Is no one going to mention the similarities between this mans shirt and James May's?

[@mahirfredericks4013]

lol good eyes

[@hpod3sx]

there must be some connection between those two...

[@michaelparker2449]

Is no one going to mention the likeness between his shirt and Freddy Krueger's?

[@poulhansen2415]

MorningGI0ry He must be in family with James May.

[@johnnybagwash2456]

he was once james mays stepfather yrs ago.

[@tommyyz2502]

The person who takes jeremy off top gear is about to become the most hated man in britain

[@TeqHDcasper]

In the world*

[@tommyyz2502]

TeqHDcasper yes the world :P

[@peterhilbers3041]

no, he´s going to become the most hated person (dramatic pause9.... in the wööörrldddd

[@tommyyz2502]

***** yes 😂😂😂

[@jaggass]

that's the BBC.

[@Matthewthebird13]

If Clarkson hit me in the face I would thank him

[@jotyers7845]

yes i agree . BBC get rid of the producer NOW ! simple as that .

[@Nombredeusuario1030]

Chris Goffey is such a gentleman. I really like his calm and warm style.

[@lowkey1784]

Same with james may.

[@gord307]

Chris Goffey - one of the best Top Gear presenters from the good old days.

[@willzer808]

Chris Goffey, no better man to review a 90's Nissan Sunny. Back when top gear was boringly excellent. I God damn loved those pedantic days.

[@davidrobert2007]

Agreed. Good job there's plenty of old Top Gear on here. Bring back William Woolard I say.

[@TheMushtyroo]

willzer808 When boot cill height, power windows and cassette tape storage were the talk of the day! Such a nice chap is Chris Goffey :)

[@Jony12S]

Idiot

[@DroneAndBimmerGyal]

Chris Goffey. Absolute gent and a real car fan. Also massively knows his stuff.

[@ThomsonAirwaysFs]

Chris Goffey and James May should produce a motoring show of their own. Both of them are my type of people.

[@elisorrells5314]

The Pipe and Slippers Motoring Hour😂😂😂

[@CheekyCultured]

If Top Gear is ended , I will be the first to stop watching any programme by BBC as a revenge !

[@CheekyCultured]

Seal Fullname Mate !

[@CheekyCultured]

Agree.

[@Aurasmae]

Apart from the David Attenborough ones. Because he is better then Top Gear. He actually had a chance to OWN the BBC, but he declined, because he wanted to continue travelling the world and educating the millions!

[@deadmansfire]

***** Most of them aren't worthy to be pirated :D

[@BLY99]

The Aura Tree That's nonsense, the BBC is the public tv network of the UK, it's owned by a trust for the people of the UK.

[@djdreamwarrior]

bring back Clarkson topgear the only good program on the bbc

[@dylanwest723]

DOCTOR WHO ?

[@liamations]

Louis Vernon A lot of people.

[@dylanwest723]

Louis Vernon​ doctor who is awesome

[@liamations]

Looks like some 10 year old who thinks he's "cool" because he doesn't watch Doctor Who. Step back, guys. We've got a badass over here.

[@huambo]

stewart lawson Intelligence.

[@charliechaz1982]

This is Chris Goffey. The father of Danny Goffey from the band Supergrass.

[@Electrobilia]

If nothing else, nice to see and hear Chris Goffey again...he was always a great TG presenter.

[@madgeordie4290]

Jeremy Clarkson's irreverent attitude towards controversial issues and his anti PC stance are two of the aspects of his personality that most people find attractive and is the main reason behind Top Gear's popularity. Let's be honest here, if it wasn't Jeremy Clarkson who was involved this would not have made even the back page of a newspaper. This is a storm in a teacup and if the BBC allow this to end what has been one of it's most popular and successful programmes over the last ten years it will make people even more angry about having to pay for their TV licence. James May is right. The man is a knob but a likable one. This may be because he says the things we often think but do not wish to say - after all the greatest transgression we can make is to offend anyone, at all, ever, even the permanently outraged, PC ridden, literary intelligencia who seem to hold so much sway in the BBC and this country as a whole

[@alikhan-il3pf]

i just want Top Gear back :'(

[@alikhan-il3pf]

i cri everytim

[@hemmay]

ali khan What?

[@RoadCone411]

Always liked Goffey. He's not going to say much bad about Clarkson...far too much of a gentleman.

[@inky5168]

Over the past decade or so, the BBC, once an impartial observer of world affairs, has arbitrarily become the voice of the bleeding-heart liberal. I am an reactionary, to a degree, and I do object to being told by the BBC hierarchy how to act, what to think, when to think it, and how to speak. I am not the minority whom is easily offended by TV (I am offended by lack of quality TV content, however). They themselves were never offended until they were told to be. Jeremy Clarkson represents one of the few independent-minded BBC employees and, as such, has received acerbic criticism from them at the drop of a hat. Every Clarkson venture into humour is met with wringing of hands, gnashing of teeth and bleatings of being ‘offended’. What they'll never understand, is that the British people (and those in hundreds of other countries) delight in the Clarksonesque take on our modern world. When, inevitably, their golden egg migrates to another nest, the BBC’s bleeding-hearts will discover that it is they, not Jeremy Clarkson, who offends the average viewer. Or, is all this is simply another "leak" that somehow miraculously increases ratings and the BBC's worth, as probably has been the case for many a year. "Leaks" usually arise just before a series is about to air. From what I understand, he allegedly "punched" a 36 year old producer. One who has probably come out of Uni a few years ago, full of degree's, and politically correctly knows it all and Clarkson has simply knocked him down a peg. I'm just peeved we don't get to see the last three episodes.

[@General.Longstreet]

Chris Coffey - legend.

[@ScottXC91]

Didn't know too much about Chris Goffey before this, instantly like the guy now.

[@OldSkoolGeneral]

The Rider Thats my friends Dad, Danny Goffey from Supergrass.

[@hjp1hjp22]

Chris Goffey was memorable a rather boring and no nonsense presenter of Top Gear, in total contrast to Jeremy Clarkson.

[@jaggass]

He's Danny Goffey's dad. The ex drummer of Supergrass.

[@cohocarl]

Why weren't the issues with the "n-word", slope, etc caught and edited out before it is aired? B.F.D. anyways. I love the show, but if I were him I'd walk. Punch the producer again first, but I'd walk. (while laughing and carrying a lot of $$) "Anyway....On that bombshell...."

[@TheValeyard92]

The supposed "N Word" clip was edited out before it aired. It was leaked to the Daily Mirror, who were so concerned about it being offensive that they published it several times internationally. The other comment I think they just thought they could get away with because they (incorrectly) thought it wasn't as bad a slur.

[@eclipset5831]

Top Gear won't be as good with Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc and Eddie Jordan.

[@ItsAllAboutGTA]

No Clarkson = No Top Gear = BBC Loss,reason why people watch Top Gear becuz of Clarkson,remember BBC,the show grew and became popular becuz of him, hammond and may

[@ThyGoldenFaceplant]

It's not just Clarkson. If any of the three left top gear, the id stop watching. It just wouldn't be the same.

[@numbersix100]

Why is Danny Cohen dealing with it this way? Cohen countenanced a Jim'll Fix It tribute programme despite it being known within the BBC about Saviles "dark side", the Radio times reported: "I think it will be a great tribute to Jimmy to recreate his famous show as a Christmas treat for audiences," said BBC1 controller Danny Cohen. I think Cohen is the one who should go! That way the BBC will continue to earn £150m a year.

[@roystonvehicles9129]

I think Chris did a review of his lotus elite in a early 70s mag, looked a bit like Jason King.

[@dylanmorgan6053]

SAVE CLARKSON

[@logwind]

3/25/15 NEVER FORGET

[@cibriosis]

Jeremy is actually a nice man..but a knob..still

[@ghettomist1575]

Yes I have heard that.

[@gamingxprox124]

That’s what makes him the best guy ever

[@Andy-oe8bi]

Bring back clarkson the show will die without him

[@josephgonzalez_]

Chris Goffey hasn't changed much since the early nineties. He gave intelligent comment back then but was rather dull.

[@PojechaniTV]

Trzymamy kciuki za Jeremiego!

[@imaderobotsoccerteam]

Why isn't anybody pointing out the weirdest thing, why is the man wearing a white and gold shirt???!!!

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

TheXtraMan it's green and blue...

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Jeremy is simply on pregnancy leave, he'll be back, why all the panic?

[@rowancoggins9638]

He will just do his own show. Already dozens of producers must be racing to get him on board. Its your loss BBC. By all means charge him with assault if it is legally appropriate. But even though he is a bit of a 'tosser' he IS the show. The two other gents are excellent chaps, but sidekicks nonetheless. I mean no disrespect to either of the gents. They know it as well, I am sure.

[@billybillo9998]

RIP top gear, I still watch old episodes. haven't watched since those three left.

[@DavidChow]

Interesting talking head from Chris Goffey...but all I could think is why is a boiler in his den/home office/lounge?

[@nsny25]

His son is the drummer for Supergrass.

[@gemspotting6252]

What a legend - loved Chris on TG

[@RyutoOfficialYT]

I think the BBC need to grow up and realize that Jeremy has apologized multiple times, and they are getting along now, and that this 'fracas' is like a poke in the face compared to what Justin Bieber has done, and what Jimmy Saville did, why sack a man for hitting someone when they are drunk, loads of celebs have probably done it... I'm sure that the BBC are just looking to be yelled at

[@kristian43]

Bring back Jeremy

[@leigheastham8979]

I'm sure that the HR department at SKY already have a contract drawn up!

[@whynot-tomorrow_1945]

My 'optional' reason for signing the petition was "Punching people is a right reserved by the human race that can not be superseded by contrivance and slander."

[@jaggass]

all 400M viewers should sign this petition.

[@celtic125434849]

Azureecosse we got a with fifth gear fan here…..I found the only one.

[@YouVidTuber]

If topgear does end on BBC, then the BBC won't only lose money from top gear, but from other shows and sources as well, due to plain disrespect if BBC causes such a thing

[@1066gaz]

I think its time now to brush off whats happened and get things back to normal.its not that serious a problem to warrant changes.Do the gentlemanly thing guys and shake on it and have a laugh and then mostly everybody in this world will be happy in the end.Don't ruin something special on something trivial because there is nothing much left to watch on tv anymore.

[@hosban92]

Am with him, Jeremy Clarkson is top gear it self, why don't they try to make it easier by apologising to the public on the behalf of his behaviour, we all are humans and we make mistakes, the simplest way to make it work is to call him back and apologise to the public. i don't think that i will every watch top gear with out him, his advice about the automobile are worldwide known, all the middle east waits for his opinion about new cars. #BBCwakeUP

[@elasdickband027]

Jeremy doesn't make the show. The three of them do. Every one of them is irreplaceable.

[@daviddylan9097]

He shares all the same mannerisms as James May...

[@Shon304]

fix: 1 million singatures

[@hemmay]

Menta And he's still gone.Even Sky don't want him!!!

[@Shon304]

kevin heming who said Sky doesnt want him?

[@hemmay]

Menta Sky themselves actually.Try reading a newspaper.

[@Shon304]

kevin heming not leaving in UK, not interested in whats going on in there. Anyway, any production wants him?

[@Shon304]

kevin heming Well, im watching topgear for few years and espacily the trio.

[@michaeltischendorf4756]

Clarkson is Top Gear and cant be replaced, i will not waist my time if he is sacked by still watching the show

[@malmstring]

First the fairly recent Stig controversy and now all this. All three presenters should ditch the BBC and jump to another network and carry on like nothing happened. Preferably someone that's online and isn't overseen by traditional network broadcast rules or rely on advertisers the same way, but by subscription. They are so popular they could start their own production company and sell the thing and get more of the share. Business-wise they don't need the BBC in todays world.

[@MansMan42069]

Lol Top Gear is still around and Grand Tour has to beg Amazon to give them air time.

[@tunahancagsal6893]

This is the Most idiotic thing i heard today

[@Foxbat1155]

Clarkson got framed.

[@michaelparker2449]

If anyone has the balls to fire Clarkson they will be more hated than they guy who cancelled the show Firefly.

[@irishelk3]

Im all for Jeramy clarkson, i think hes one of the funniest most entertaining people around today, but he did punch the guy which is stupid, so im not surprised they finally let him go, he had the best job in the world, i just hope they sign some sort of deal with another channel and make a show similar to Top Gear, why not?

[@julius2538]

what does BBC think to suceed with this? im from germany but dont think anyone wants to see top gear without jeremy clarkson.

[@julius2538]

even read my comment kevin? I DONT THINK that okay?

[@hemmay]

EverymanMedia As I said,he's gone.End of.Celebrate!!

[@andyynwa94]

If IT happens, I'll cry.

[@OldSkoolGeneral]

Danny's Dad (Supergrass)

[@sugarboy0622]

Whoever takes Jeremy off TG is a NutCase..

[@tanny786]

he will just get his own show somewhere else

[@MichaelM28]

Anyone else thought it was Clint Eastwood in the thumbnail?

[@james5995]

I thought Jeremy Corbyn.

[@jotyers7845]

Bring back Jezza ! Bring Jezza back now .

[@123Scears123]

Unforgivable! It happened off camera!

[@michaelparker2449]

Anyone else afraid to sleep after watching this seeing him wear Freddy Krueger's shirt?

[@thetreekeeper143]

Its funny, I really hate bullies. I don't think I have any self control if he punched me. He is an elderly old man and I would have probably killed him if he punched me and accept to go to jail.

[@elzach0]

Jeremy is top gear, someone give this guy a nail and a hammer

[@Melvorgazh]

What does Jeremy Clarckson think about Asphalt 8 video game?

[@eduardoavila646]

Then at least get at least Chris Goffey back in top gear, a real car journalyst would be better than this new top gear "crew"

[@jfisk60903]

Losing Clarkson will be like "Two and a Half Men" losing Charlie Sheen, the death nail to an awesome show that will be produced never more!

[@RobinMario]

Little did he know...

[@RaikenXion]

Has anyone noticed Jeremy Clarkson only started coming out with these dosgy remarks and winding people up after he split from his wife, bk in 2011 I think it was, and she was his manager bk then. I think Jeremy Clarkson is now on the verge of a mid-life crisis.

[@Twirlyhead]

I might upset a few folk by saying this but I've been a big fan of Clarkson, May & Hamsters' Top Gear over the years but the last couple of series they've just been treading water and I think it was about time for a huge change or even a cancellation anyway. I am concerned that he's being replaced by a pansy thespian who fancies himself as the bad boy characters he plays though.

[@MarshallATV]

BBC is nothing without Jeremy.

[@squirrel7t7]

He should fook the BBC and just produce his own car show..whatever its called it will have an instant fan base and the viewing figures will dwarf whatever top gear do next. He is the show

[@jaggass]

ITV or channel should buy the rights to top gear and show it on there.

[@samr1321]

What if Clarkson didn't sell the Top Gear to BBC?

[@deadchannelagain7204]

What if Clarkson was not kill?

[@martyjackson4806]

473000 when I signed.

[@Raez_XL]

Who is this producer who was the beginning of the end of my beloved Top Gear. I would like to punch him too.

[@SunsheildAndStuff]

Naa the producer that was punched didn't want to make a big deal about it and kept quiet. It was only when his boss found out that something was done about it.

[@Raez_XL]

Then i would like to punch his boss

[@Beeeman-u3s]

The producer threaten to sue clarkson..

[@b212hp]

Keep in mind, Clarkson self-reported the incident. Tymon didn't want to make a big deal of it.

[@JamesAllmond]

and I just thought the American TV Network I used to work for was run be a blithering idiot...nope, current BBC management even worse. Oh well, he'll get a show on another network and we'll have something new to watch.

[@jotyers7845]

Bring back Clarkson !

[@walkabout16]

Ban the BBC license fee make it a pay for view channel like the others......How do the unelected have so much clout anyway?

[@carpetace56]

I will not be watching BBC America until Jeremy comes back.

[@iamwedged2705]

Taking top gear off the Tv just makes the fans pissed off with the producers not clarkson wy should the fans suffer because of someone else's mistake.

[@BarriosGroupie]

My god Chris Goffey is so old looking nowadays.
