The last few days I'm wondering if the other stations/networks around the globe that pay for the rights to air Top Gear have grounds to sue the BBC for ending the series prematurely? I suspect due to ownership reasons, the show's producers can't simply finish the episodes and air them everywhere but the BBC. On Radio 4's NewsQuiz, nobody on the panel seemed a fan of Clarkson's brand of humor, but they all seemed to agree that canceling the series -- as opposed to letting it run out with James and Richard -- was a bit like a school teacher making all the kids lose recess because one kid misbehaved. Tiff Needell and Fifth Gear have been having a laugh at Clarkson's expense, even running an ad campaign with the tagline, "No producers were punched in the making of this show."
