[QUOTE="kmhour, post: 454861, member: 7159"] Clarkson and an old buddy (the producer) sold the rights back to the BBC, so I would think the name, the Stig, segments like Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, and some of the older intellectual property (Cool Wall for example) will all remain the BBC's property. I wouldn't be surprised to see the trio end up with Sky or Netflix as others have suggested. Personally I've been a TG fan for years, and while Jeremy's bombast is part of his persona, I think there's a natural limit to how long it can go (could have gone) before it starts to get a bit repetitive. In a way this might have been a good thing, ending before it got stale. And frankly if it's true that he was taking advantage of a subordinate by ripping him for something that wasn't even his fault, then punched the guy, any normal employer is not left with much of a choice at that point. It wasn't like Clarkson didn't know he was on thin ice after some of the previous (and recent) controversies. Maybe he needed to come back down to earth a bit, if he was that full of himself to lose his shit over a hot dinner. [/QUOTE]
