Yeah, but without Clarkson top gear may tank.
He causes them grief but it's one of the most profitable and exportable shows going.

If the "fracas" involved him punching a coworker they'd have no choice would they?
They got rid of Jonathan Ross when he had one of their highest rated shows.

yah', but if the BBC doesn't make a stand against assault agmonst your staff...
... then they very well would risk losing the rights to being publicly funded - politicians are already questioning it, and this'll give them every reason to make the push come to shove
