Was it a gay thing? Who was the swimming pool dead person guy?
You're thinking about Michael Barrymore, who now (I heard recently) works at a friend's garden centre, and is happy doing so. I think the immediate cause of Deayton's downfall was indeed coke & hookers, but the real reason, I believe, was that Hislop and Merton hated him, and wanted him gone. A shame, IMHO - the show lost something when he went, and he's a real talent that's largely gone to waste. As for Clarkson's statement, better late than never...but then again, he has had quite a lot on his plate recently. And it would be churlish not to recognise his taking the time and effort to do the right thing. I've never thought of him as not being actually a decent human being underneath it all, when push comes to shove.

Looks like i've upset someone who dresses like May and Hammond!:whistle:

Not at all, I just disagreed with you completely. People should be happy to dress anyway they want, look at the amount of cyclist that will not wear lycra because people may take the Mickey.

Perhaps he could team up with John Leslie for TG. Must be other BP presenters that could fit in. Helen Skelton?
They already have the necessary skills for modifying cars using sticky backed plastic, toilet roll tubes and string for the challenges.

Hmm...think Leslie's got issues of his own and might not want the attention...though he is a property developer, according to the Wiki gods so he does seem to have kept to the BP ideology...guess that's who's been keeping No More Nails afloat?!?

Bacon wouldn't be such a bad choice though...he's very good on't radio and he might just have the right amount of quirk!

Just a chip in about Deayton though...they also said, as well as not actually liking him, that the main reason for getting rid was that, as presenters of the show, it was their duty to slag off all aspects of the news...and that him being the news made the situation untenable...that last show was a peach though...
 
if by survived, you mean continued to fester....

the good news is

GUY MARTIN FOR TOP GEAR!

Sorry can't see that



"..... and here is the new Fird Taser

The performance was a bit naff, but we welded on a jet engine, altered the steering and removed the rear passenger seats to allow for a larger petrol rank giing more distance between refills"

[QUOTE 3613919, member: 45"]He still rides motorbikes. Very well.

And by all accounts he's a really nice bloke.[/QUOTE]

Oh agreed...he seems lovely...but not so sure about his presenting skills...cant see him doing live very well...at least at first...

Who wants a "nice bloke"? Even women don't like nice blokes.

Who has this guy Martin offended recently?

No one? No interview...
