Jeremy Clarkson given green light to appear on BBC shows | Media | The Guardian
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/d ... -bbc-shows

It's hard to believe anyone else would have been allowed to appear again, and was the decision somewhat reliant on a successful prosecution or anything? Full-on assaulting a member of staff is different to harming yourself or others indirectly (Richard Bacon, Russell Brand). The Beeb won't have a leg to stand on the next time someone snaps.

He did HIGNFY a while back didn't he? His contract wasn't renewed (rather than him being dismissed for gross misconduct), that was always a nice getout if they wanted to hire him for something.

I thought that episode was postponed/cancelled?

No no, Richard Osman put the boot in every chance he got.

On the other hand, is HIGNFY a pure BBC production or is it made by an external production company? (No idea, I haven't seen it in over a decade; but I have a feeling it was Hatrick or something?)

IIRC It's made by Hat Trick Productions.

I'm sure it had been that serious the guy would've pressed charges.

World away from pressing criminal charges.

Yes suing is not criminal charges and the incident happened late at night after Clarkson had been drinking and he was provoked by hunger. I know what I'm like when I'm hangry.

Yep, fair point. I shall put that one down to temporary insanity, brought on by the mid-afternoon coffee.
