The end is nigh for Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear cohorts, if Richard Hammond’s comment on the news that he has been sacked as the show’s presenter is anything to go by.
The co-presenter implied that their journey had come to an end when he tweeted his own statement on the findings of the BBC inquiry today.
However, he left the possibility of him and May continuing without Clarkson.
He posted the following:
The BBC reached a decision not to renew Clarkson’s contract after an investigation concluded he punched Oisin Tymon following a row over catering arrangements.
The inquiry, led by BBC Scotland director Ken MacQuarrie, concluded that Clarkson verbally abused Tymon for 20 minutes before launching a 30-second physical assault on the producer at a luxury Yorkshire hotel.
“It is clear that Oisin Tymon was shocked and distressed by the incident,” BBC Director General Lord Tony Hall said in his statement today, “and believed that he had lost his job”.
“Following the attack, I understand that Oisin Tymon drove to a nearby A&E department for examination.”
