"The pressure this guy [Tymon] is under is so Savilesque in a way, Clarkson's support from high-level politicians recalled the way Savile was once defended. If you look at what David Cameron says or what [former Culture and Media Secretary] Maria Miller says and you swap Clarkson for Savile, you get this: David Cameron is effectively saying that Savile's a real talent, Maria Miller saying Savile will be Savile."

Personally, I think (Warren Mitchell's) Chairman Alf, would be a far safer bet for the former presenter's job… and would continue to provide entertainment for white van man, in the bbc's time honoured tradition. Yes indeed... Savile, Ross, Evans, Clarkson,
Two of the 4 are back presenting high profile TV and Radio for the BBC, one is dead (good riddance) how long till Clarkson reappears? Like him or loath him, he is a good journalist and has many fans
