Not filing charges
Tymon decides not to file charges against Clarkson for punching him in face.
I’ve worked on Top Gear for almost a decade, a program I love. Over that time Jeremy and I had a positive and successful working relationship, making some landmark projects together. He is a unique talent, and I am well aware that many will be sorry his involvement in the show should end in this way.
Tymon’s lawyer:
The events of the last few weeks have been extremely unpleasant for everyone involved. The matter has taken a great toll on Oisin, his family and his friends….Quite simply, Mr Tymon just wishes to return now to the job at the BBC he loves, as soon as possible. Further, the BBC have, in his view, taken action with a view to addressing the issues at hand. Mr Tymon agrees with the BBC’s stated view that all parties should now be allowed to move on, so far as possible.
Fired
BBC drops Clarkson from Top Gear and decides not to renew his contract. BBC director general, Hall:
For me a line has been crossed. There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations……..This decision should in no way detract from the extraordinary contribution that Jeremy Clarkson has made to the BBC. I have always personally been a great fan of his work and Top Gear.
Fight over catering
Clarkson allegedly hit producer Tymon for not getting him dinner in time after filming for the BBC show in Newcastle. Source:
Jeremy had a massive bust up with one of the male show producers and he ended up smacking him in the face. Everyone was absolutely stunned.
Clarkson:
I’m having a nice cold pint and waiting for this to blow over.
