Even though Top Gear Season 22 is cancelled, BBC America announced that its Monday time slot will still schedule Top Gear programming. According to BBC America, “Top Gear: The Perfect Road Trip Italy” will air Monday, March 16, at 9:00 p.m. ET to fill the void Top Gear Season 22 has left.
As many readers already know, the abrupt end to Top Gear Season 22 is the consequence of Jeremy Clarkson’s suspension earlier this month. The Top Gear presenter allegedly threw a punch at BBC producer Oisin Tymon. Reports claimed that Jeremy Clarkson became furious when he was only served cold food after an exhausting full day of filming.
The BBC released a statement earlier this week and acknowledged the investigation on Clarkson and producer Oisin Tymon is ongoing. Meanwhile, over 110,000 disgruntled Top Gear fans have signed a petition titled “Bring Back Clarkson” in support of the TV presenter.
