Well this is good news -

As a contingency measure, BBC Worldwide is to offer foreign broadcasters Top Gear programming that has not been aired before in their respective markets. "We are working on supplying international broadcast partners with alternative content," said a spokesman for BBC Worldwide.

This is going to cost them a lot of money. That said, if the story is right, and he did punch a producer in the face over not having a hot lunch, he does deserve to be punished. That's a dick move, even by Clarkson standards.

Of course, his "punishment" will now take the form of a cash buy-out for the remainder of his BBC contract, followed by a lucrative new contract at a commercial competitor with full creative control over a new show. I'm sure he's losing plenty of sleep over the situation.

I would laugh so hard if he goes to Fifth Gear. :D

That, or the BBC is out a couple million. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch TG Korea.

Hopefully they can at least air the remaining episodes of the season then figure out everything else.

I'm hoping we get to see the TGUK v TGUS episode. I've been hoping for that since TGUS started!

Same here, it would be interesting to see who would win, even thou TGUK probably would cheat like they always do!

The BBC has already said that they will not air these episodes at all. :-(

It be fun to watch Tanner wipe the floor with them. They'd probably use the Stig though
