BBC releases statement on Clarkson
Tony Hall, the BBC’s Director-General, has released the following statement.
“It is with great regret that I have told Jeremy Clarkson today that the BBC
will not be renewing his contract. It is not a decision I have taken lightly.
I have done so only after a very careful consideration of the facts and after
personally meeting both Jeremy and Oisin Tymon.
“I am grateful to Ken MacQuarrie for the thorough way he has conducted an
investigation of the incident on 4th March. Given the obvious and very
genuine public interest in this I am publishing the findings of his report. I
take no pleasure in doing so. I am only making them public so people can
better understand the background. I know how popular the programme is and I
also know that this decision will divide opinion. The main facts are not
disputed by those involved.
“I want to make three points.
“First – The BBC is a broad church. Our strength in many ways lies in that
diversity. We need distinctive and different voices but they cannot come at
any price. Common to all at the BBC have to be standards of decency and
respect. I cannot condone what has happened on this occasion. A member of
staff – who is a completely innocent party – took himself to Accident and
Emergency after a physical altercation accompanied by sustained and prolonged
verbal abuse of an extreme nature. For me a line has been crossed. There
cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank,
or public relations and commercial considerations.
“Second – This has obviously been difficult for everyone involved but in
particular for Oisin. I want to make clear that no blame attaches to him for
this incident. He has behaved with huge integrity throughout. As a senior
producer at the BBC he will continue to have an important role within the
organisation in the future.
“Third – Obviously none of us wanted to find ourselves in this position.
This decision should in no way detract from the extraordinary contribution
that Jeremy Clarkson has made to the BBC. I have always personally been a
great fan of his work and Top Gear. Jeremy is a huge talent. He may be
leaving the BBC but I am sure he will continue to entertain, challenge and
amuse audiences for many years to come.
“The BBC must now look to renew Top Gear for 2016. This will be a big
challenge and there is no point in pretending otherwise. I have asked Kim
Shillinglaw to look at how best we might take this forward over the coming
months. I have also asked her to look at how we put out the last programmes
in the current series.”
大略翻譯:
1. Jeremy 因為言語及肢體暴力已經跨過了那條線 確定不再續約 且已告知對方
2. 被打的製作人Tymon在這件事情中不會受到任何責難 且繼續在BBC擔任要職
3. 讚揚Clarkson對BBC的貢獻 並認為他會繼續娛樂觀眾
4. Clarkson不再跟BBC續約 但BBC會繼續拍2016的Top Gear
會再討論剩下集數如何解決

Richard跟James一起離開去別的地方重起爐灶吧Top Gear在我心中已經死了

Top Gear 已死+1

英國人沒有競爭力

湖人後衛

O_O 真是可惜阿…

本來一直希望有天他們能來台灣長征的這輩子看不到了，真的很難過

唉 已難過

好節目被自己毀了，我想他也不會在乎，囧

唉…沒想到是這樣的結局

新的一季才沒看幾集耶

22季也剩3集了

三個老猴該退休了

唉，剩下德國人的節目可以看，可是很悶啊

德國是MOD31台那個半小時節目嗎?

對呀，其實我是看女主持人試車 XD

還有五檔可以看啊…

五檔ㄧ般般啊，沒有top gear 娛樂

tpo gear娛樂性真的很高...很大的關係也是因為clarkson嘴巴很毒很OX...批評車廠沒壓力..

5th gear也很悶阿

可以看drive chris harris

之前另外兩位主持人說沒有jeremy不錄，但是就算在別台重啟爐灶，可能不能這麼毒舌吧！畢竟資源沒有BBC多

Chris Harris 好啦 他就差上節目了

悶，最愛節目已死

推chris harris

另起爐灶很難搞得跟TOP GEAR一樣 TIFF就是好例子
