She is to weak
she should ignore the threats


It was only a rumor
now the BBC know its not a wise choice

[Cherie]

She is mega- annoying on bake off tbf

[Josy]

I don't like Sue.

Doesn't deserve the death threats though for christs sake :bored:

[Cherie]

I don't like Sue.

issuing death threats is par for the course on the internet, it keeps the feeble minded amused

[Crimson Dynamo]

She would be a Top Gear disaster but there is no truth in the rumours.

People need to realise Twitter is just people shouting at their tvs and nothing more

I don't like Sue.

should she Hire a Big Tough Security Guard?

Why are men so retarded?

Armed guards for her

There's crazies in every fanbase, Top Gear is no different.

Wow. This is such an insulting generalisation. Please don't do this.

I'm on a twitter break and i must say i've never been happier. That place can be horrible. Facebook is much better.

I'll give you a bone when we're dogging if you like

[Ammi]

..I don't think this has anything to do with fan bases..it's just hate filled internet trolls and wouldn't matter what the story or which celebrities it involved, it would be the same from them/they're idiots and just want to hate...

[Crimson Dynamo]

I wonder what abuse she would get if they said she would be joining One Direction

This is why i much prefer facebook these days. You say something on twitter and you can find yourself the target of some serious abuse.

[GiRTh]

Usual idiots, nothing to worry about. Perkins doing Top Gear wont get me to become a regular viewer.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Hopefully Katie Hopkins will get the job

[Livia]

Yeah, if you're going to kill something, kill it dead.

Sue's too good for it tbh.

Soz, it was I just read it back and thought what?!... :laugh:

I don't like the guy can you tell? Horrible twitter trolls, I hope she does get it now and they make sue the stig! :joker:

[----renamed]

Of course we can't have a woman taking the job of a man now can we, especially someone like Jeremy Clarkson who plays up to the type of men that want women to know their place

[smudgie]

Hmmmmm, Why not let Clarkson do Bake off, nah, it would never work:laugh:
Going by the Mel and Sue afternoon show that was on recently, I think Sue should just concentrate on Bake off and her stand up.

[Livia]

The one thing worse than Sue doing Top Gear would be Mel and Sue on a jobshare.

[Jake.]

Hopefully Katie Hopkins will get the job

What with her being a complete motor mouth I guess it'd make sense

[Pete.]

I'd love Sue on Top Gear

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'd love Sue on Top Gear

Yes, getting the crew their lunch and tiding up etc

[Lostie!]

She is mega- annoying on bake off tbf

I hardly think someone being annoying is "fair" justification for them receiving death threats.

The petition to reinstate Clarkson which got a million signatures was silly enough, this is a whole new level of ridiculous.

[Livia]

You get out of here right now young man...

[Crimson Dynamo]

make sure and watch the new series of W1A next week as there is lots of Clarkson stuff on there



Jeremy Clarkson – who else – looms large over the return of the BBC’s in-house sitcom. The W1A writing team have dealt with the corporation’s latest gaffe with all the deft humour and lightness of touch that their fictional BBC bosses – ineffectual and absurd from the unseen Tony Hall downwards – lack.

We see inside the “Damage Limitation Meeting” in which Head of Values, Ian Fletcher, thrashes out “this week’s Clarkson strategy”:joker:. Subsequently an unfortunate intern is dispatched to watch four years’ worth of Top Gear and write down the offensive bits, while the disgraced presenter’s surname is bleeped out and his face pixelated whenever they arise. Lovely.

Like Twenty-Twelve, the Olympics sitcom which preceded it, the joy of W1A is where life and art seem to blur, in those storylines which are silly, but not quite beyond belief. In this first, hour-long and gag-packed, episode of the new series, not only do the BBC chiefs have **********n to deal with, they are also in danger of losing Wimbledon – “leaving the BBC with no live sport that people understand...” – because its coverage is “too white”. Enter, Siobhan “de nada” Sharpe to mash-up some ideas for rebranding tennis.

Add to that an imminent visit from Prince Charles and Portland Place all but enters meltdown. The Royal strand brings the welcome addition to the cast of Samuel West – in full just-eaten-a-wasp mode as Clarence House’s head of security. Under his icy patrician glare, the final 20 minutes unfold like an old-fashioned farce – locked doors, revolving doors, a maze of corridors linking Old and New Broadcasting House and some inevitably malfunctioning bollards. They are the oldest of visual gags but when shot with the full, luscious might of the BBC, how effective they are.

All the elements of the original series are back like old friends, too – the whizzy timelapse shots of Portland Place, awkward chats in rooms labelled ‘Frankie Howerd’ and the like, and pointless meetings where people only say “Yes”, “No”, “Brilliant” or “I mean, great”. One spot-on, throwaway voiceover describes a sitcom project as “finally nearing another meeting”.

Meanwhile, the in-house IT system Syncopatico is still malfunctioning, Will the intern still cannot get his words out and Siobhan is still mangling English (she gets QED muddled with QVC). As per, nobody has any good ideas, or likes anyone else.

Hugh Bonneville’s wonderfully harried Ian Fletcher and David Tennant’s droll narration (“Meanwhile, back up in Frankie Howerd...”) are still probably the best things about the show. A series in, it has grown into itself. The smug celebrity cameos of Alan Yentob arm-wrestling Salman Rushdie, say, are less prevalent. There is just a quick shot of The One Show presenters in the canteen queue. And that is for the best.

At the preview screening, the producer Jon Plowman said he would like the show to run until the charter renewal in 2016. On this evidence – and at the rate the BBC is churning out scandals and gaffes – it could run a lot longer than that.

W1A starts 23 April at 9pm on BBC2.

No Armed Guards cost a Fortune


The public can not fund that

We are already paying for Armed Guards
