It seems somebody has started to remember that punching someone in the face is still against the law in the UK.

Even for wealthy celebrities.

I was axtually astounded there was a petition in the first place!
Who signs a petition about a celeb? It's hardly a worthy cause.

what he did was wrong no argument

however i do have a lot of sympathy for both of them

i have been on TV and movie shoots and there no picnic ,less so for the talent ,tempers can and do flare the Days are long ,very long and working hours are .........often brutal
his separation from his wife
that`s a lot of stress and some times something gives and you act inappropriately
i have ,i am sure everybody has at some point its human nature
the person wasn`t seriously hurt nothing more than a split lip and drove him self to hospital
yes he should have been severely punished but iIMO fired is over the top

this should have been handled by the HR department of the BBC not trial by media

Except James May and the other one have said they had not spent the time filming, but were in a pub getting drunk as lords KD.

Can you imagine what would have been said if a benefit claimant, getting the run around by the DSS and being sanctioned for being two minutes late for a meeting, had screamed obsenities at them for 20 minutes and then punched them. I realise he is going through a hard time emotional and definitely has a drink problem, but that is not allowed as an excuse for anyone else, and it shouldn't be allowed as an excuse for him. Assault is assault, and unless someone has a diagnosed mental condition, it should be treated as such, no matter who does it.

no sympathy at all if he were a factory worker and hit a co worker he'd be fired on the spot none of this waste of time.

HR department failed when it did not terminate immediately.
Literally every single employment contract I have ever signed clearly states that this is gross misconduct and will result in immediate termination.

Fired should have happen immediately and is the Minimum punishment he should have received, this should have been referred to police immediately, BBC is now liable for having a dangerous workplace for not doing so.

not trying to have a go at you KD but really??? what about the soldiers or police or factory workers or anyone else who works?

it matters not one dot how hurt he was or not - you DO NOT EVER STRIKE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING unless your life or someone else's is in danger.

Alcoholl ,says it all really
The problem with filming is you don`t actually do a lot of it in a day and some days you never stop

you start early in the morning and finish late at night it can wear thin very quickly ,although all the shoots i have been on had catering but this isn`t that
these guys worked together for 10 years and i don't know about a drink problem ,yes he drinks a lot of people do
it`s not necessarily a problem and given the amount of driving he does it`s unlikely
what he did was out of order No Argument and yes he should have been servilely punished and yes technically it is assault No argument ,
But we are not talking GBH

He said in a recent interview that he was 'smoking too much and drinking too much'. Alcohol, the cause of much yobbish behaviour and your don't have to be poor to be a yob!

Well i see it this way people with all the facts decided fire him partly because of the media storm over it
i think firing him was to much,because it doesn`t just effect him

Because the BBC have basically killed there goose

i am not a petrol head ,i don`t watch top gear for the cars really but with out clarkson ...its not top gear and regardless who they try to placate people with ,a new presenter if fruitless

Sorry KD, really, really, really have to disagree on this. He was fired because he verbally abused (for a long time) and then hit someone who was junior to him and couldn't answer back. That is illegal, and once the BBC had established that was true, they had to sack him, I don't think what other people said had anything to do with it. It's not acceptable from anyone, don't care who they are or what rides on it.

my only problem is the trial by media that blew up a situation that should have been a HR problem
