Good Luck.
BBC Television has suspended one of its biggest stars for reportedly punching producer. Reporters say Jeremy Clarkson, 54, presenter of hugely popular programme Top Gear, got into fight with producer, Oisin Tymon. There was argument about lack of food available after filming one of shows. Mr Clarkson supposedly got angry with Mr Tymon over this and hit him. BBC immediately suspended show's host and announced they would not broadcast the next two programmes. Clarkson is so popular worldwide that online petition started, calling for BBC to "reinstate" him. So far, more than 400,000 people have signed it.

One of Mr Clarkson's co-presenters, James May, did not think incident was so serious. He told BBC News: "I think [Clarkson has] been involved in bit of dust-up and I don't think it's that serious." Mr Clarkson joked with reporters yesterday. They asked him where he was going as he got into his car. He said he was going to job centre. Clarkson also retweeted message from fan to his 4.5 million Twitter followers. It read: "How can BBC not show the remaining episodes of Top Gear? Can't this be resolved without making the fans suffer?" The show is broadcast in over 200 countries. Over 350 million people watch it. Clarkson has history of making racist comments about other nationalities.
