Jeremy Clarkson said today he has not 'heard a thing' from the BBC despite claims bosses have already decided to sack him. The corporation's internal investigation has reportedly concluded the star, 54, launched a 30-second physical attack on a Top Gear producer during their steak dinner 'fracas'. Clarkson was suspended two weeks ago for allegedly punching Oisin Tymon in the face when he was offered a plate of cold cuts instead of steak and chips after a long day of filming. Sources have said that the BBC allegedly found Clarkson spent 20 minutes verbally abusing the producer in a luxury North Yorkshire hotel before launching a 30-second physical assault. But Mr Clarkson tweeted today: 'Just to keep everyone up to date, I haven't heard a thing', despite speculation that Lord Hall, the Director General of the BBC, will today announce that he has been fired.

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

Clarkson is definitely a Tory. I know they did one episode where he was racing Captain Slow and Hamster (I think it was to Norway) where his CD player was playing Margaret Thatcher speeches.

It always bugged me how the left drove on him anytime he put down a third world s**t hole like India or Mexico, but didn't worry about any American bashing.

He can now take some time off and lose some weight and cut back on his heavy drinking and smoking.
I do not know what other shows one can watch on the BBC America. Dr Who is is is written by heavy drug users.
The other shows are dramas so of no interest to me.

I bet the BBC will still show repeats of Top Gear as it is a BIG money maker for them. Any one who tries to host the new Top Gear will fail as all the others have in the US and other countries.

Don't bet on it.

I know but I still take exception. It’s my combative nature. Great name btw.

They sissified it all the way. What makes Top Gear so great is Clarkson’s unabashed love of the Empire and un-PC commentary. He’s normal.
