The BBC is expected to scrap the remainder of the current Top Gear TV series after allegations that presenter Jeremy Clarkson punched a producer.
The broadcaster said Clarkson, 54, had been suspended after what it called a "fracas" and has confirmed Sunday's episode of Top Gear will not be shown...
It is understood the two final episodes in the series will also be dropped....
And a petition calling for the BBC to "reinstate Jeremy Clarkson" started by political blogger Guido Fawkes has been signed by more than 120,000 people since it was launched on Tuesday afternoon.

Bring GOGGLEBOX over instead--now that's an hilarious show.

Few people would expect to keep their job if they punched one of their bosses - they would think themselves damned lucky if they didn't get arrested! But Clarkson is supposed to be an exception. Why??!!!

I have a feeling that a double standard would apply.
