So now he will go to Sky for megabucks - they have wanted the Top Gear format for years.
As stated on BBC News today, Top Gear is syndicated to the Beeb, so cannot be " sold" to, or otherwise traded off to any other company !! Clarkson owned 50% of the entire Top Gear business, until 2 years ago, when he sold it for an unpublicised sum, many, many £millions , it is believed , but still behaves as though he is the sole owner. The man is a total embarrassment to manners and decorum, and a buffoon !!
