BBC reviews Jeremy Clarkson saga

Jeremy Clarkson’s future on the BBC is likely to be decided next week when the corporation’s internal investigation into his behaviour is handed over to the director-general.

The Top Gear host has been suspended since it emerged he was involved in what the BBC called “a fracas” with one of the show’s producers.

A BBC spokesman said: “Following last week’s suspension of Jeremy Clarkson, Ken MacQuarrie is considering the evidence and will report to the director-general on his findings next week.
