More than 350 thousand people have signed a petition calling for the BBC to reinstate the presenter of the Top Gear television programme Jeremy Clarkson after he was dropped from the show.
The 54 year old presenter was suspended after what's been described as a fracas with one of the show's producers. The incident is being investigated. The BBC is understood to be planning to drop the final two episodes of the programme.
Top Gear is one of the BBC's most popular and profitable TV shows, with an estimated global audience of 350 million. Jeremy Clarkson is a controversial figure with a history of making remarks that some people have found offensive.
Fellow Top Gear presenter James May told reporters outside his home that he didn't think the incident was serious.
IN:"Do you think...
