Are you saying they published their internal report or are you saying the various media outlets have reported their version?

Investigation findings

Ken MacQuarrie
On 9 March 2015, Jeremy Clarkson reported to BBC management that he had been involved in aphysical and verbal incident with Oisin Tymon, the producer of Top Gear at the Simonstone HallHotel, North Yorkshire whilst working on location. The incident had occurred on 4 March 2015and Jeremy Clarkson was suspended on 10 March, pending investigation.I was asked to undertake an investigation to establish the facts of what occurred. In conducting myinvestigation, in line with the BBC’s usual practice

I interviewed a number of witnesses and others connected with the incident. Accounts were agreed, based on my interviews, with each participant.Having conducted these interviews and considered the evidence presented, I conclude the following: on 4 March 2015 Oisin Tymon was subject to an unprovoked physical and verbal attack by Jeremy Clarkson. During the physical attack Oisin Tymon was struck, resulting in swelling and bleeding to his lip. The verbal abuse was sustained over a longer period, both at the time of the physical attack and subsequently.Specific facts I have found as part of my investigation are as follows:

earlier on 4 March, studio recording of Top Gear
had taken place in Surrey and the presenters had travelled that same evening to the location shoot in North Yorkshire;

the incident occurred on a patio area of the Simonstone Hall Hotel, where Oisin Tymon was working on location for
Top Gear

the physical attack lasted around 30 seconds and was halted by the intervention of a witness;

it is the case that Oisin Tymon offered no retaliation;

the verbal abuse was directed at Oisin Tymon on more than one occasion
–
both during the attack and subsequently inside the hotel
–
and contained the strongest expletives and threats to sack him. The abuse was at such volume as to be heard in the dining room, and the shouting was audible in a hotel bedroom;

derogatory and abusive language, relating to Oisin Tymon and other members of the
Top Gear team, continued to be used by Jeremy Clarkson inside the hotel, in the presence of others, for a sustained period of time;

it is clear that Oisin Tymon was shocked and distressed by the incident, and believed that he had lost his job;

following the attack, I understand that Oisin Tymon drove to a nearby A&E department for examination;

over the subsequent days, Jeremy Clarkson made a number of attempts to apologise to Oisin Tymon by way of text, email and in person; and

it is the case that Jeremy Clarkson reported the incident to BBC management.It was not disputed by Jeremy Clarkson or any witness that Oisin Tymon was the victim of an unprovoked physical and verbal attack. It is also clear to me that Oisin Tymon is an important creative member of the Top Gear team who is well-valued and respected.

He has suffered significant personal distress as a result of this incident, through no fault of his own

Hi

Chris evans said on the radio this morning he definitely won't be doing it ...

until the offer is the right amount lol

you can't go throwing punches and expect to get away with it. I've only just recently started watching Top Gear as my kids really like it so it's a shame that he won't be on it anymore (if it continues). I've heard Guy Martin's name is being bandied about as a replacement but surely he'l be too busy "grafting" to take it on.

So the idiot producer can't do his job properly ....gets a bollocking from jezza....he then says under his breath.." you don't need feeding fatty"...and he copes a right hander.....them storms off to a&e with a 'split lip'.....just to make sure the compensation claim can be 4 figures plus.

Do you know how much he's worth Ash??
One of his ferraris would do us all ok on here till we die.
I heard him on the radio & state quite clearly that he won't be taking over the show.
I think he would be good in top gear as he's a petrol head.

Doug, says about Guy Martin, he would be good on top gear..
He looks as if he's always on the gear!! [emoji1]
