Moment it all went wrong for jeremy clarkson at top gear revealed

Clarkson opened up on his unceremonious departure from Top Gear, revealing his tense relationship with an executive named Danny Cohen, who was promoted to BBC director of television.

Clarkson said: “Danny and I were famously not ever going to get on". He added that Cohen started to “wind him up”. “I mean, I would think, ‘I’m going to say this. Nobody else would care

less. But Danny Cohen, his teeth will move about with rage.’ ” A report found in 2015 that Mr Clarkson was responsible for an “unprovoked physical and verbal attack” that left a colleague

bleeding and seeking hospital treatment. BBC director general Tony Hall said he took the decision to end Clarkson’s BBC career “with great regret”, 16 days after he was suspended following a

“fracas” with a member of the Top Gear production team, but said the presenter had “crossed a line”. But Mr Clarkson claimed that the BBC later asked him to return. He said: "I had a

meeting with a BBC executive last week and they asked if I’d come back to Top Gear. Too much has gone on. "After I’d been compared to Jimmy Savile by someone from the BBC and it was

splashed all over a Sunday newspaper, how could I go back? When Chris Evans replaced Jeremy Clarkson as host of Top Gear in 2015, a war of words began as Clarkson jibed that his new show

'The Grand Tour' would overtake it. He wrote in his column for The Sun in 2015: "I hope Chris enjoys running what, for the next couple of weeks, is the world’s biggest car

show." He also jibed at Evans' eventual successors – Paddy McGuinness, Andrew Flintoff and Chris Harris. Clarkson said last November that he refuses to watch Top Gear now. READ

when we whizz off and go and do something incredible, compared to the studio side of it. "The other problem we have is time. Doing 12 or 13 shows a year is phenomenally time-consuming

and it was sort of wiping us out, so now we can just concentrate on the specials and make them even better than they were."
