Clarkson

The BBC has said a Top Gear Live event in Norway next week is "still scheduled to go ahead" with Jeremy
Clarkson as its star.

Despite postponing the three remaining episodes of this series of Top Gear, BBC Worldwide, the corporation's
commercial arm, is still selling tickets for four live shows in Stavanger on Friday, March 27 and Saturday,
March 28.

Insiders have said they are confident Clarkson's fate will have been decided before then, and with 20,000
tickets already sold for the Norwegian shows, BBC Worldwide does not want to have to cancel unless it has no
choice.

It means that if Clarkson is cleared of wrongdoing over his "fracas" with a producer, he will make his
comeback alongside James May and Richard Hammond at the Sømarka Arena in Stavanger on the afternoon
of March 27.

BBC sources insisted the decision not to cancel the live shows should not be interpreted as a sign that they
expect the BBC inquiry, led by Ken MacQuarrie, the head of BBC Scotland, to find in Clarkson's favour.

I note that they don't seem to have any problem with continuing
to show repeats on BBC3.

Plant amazing Acers.

Of course it may well be given the venue that his punishment might be to be
thrown in the sea.

I can hardly wait for the series titled "Jeremy Clarkson - a warning from
history".

I rejoiced in the fact that this one had escaped the subject.

Until now.

Also Dave is showing repeats as usual. Dave is a channel run by UKTV
which is partly owned by BBC Worldwide.

All this fuss about Clarkson and yet they still have people who work for HSBC
on their staff without any problem.

The explanation of why Dave is not on Freesat?

The UKTV channels started as pay-for channels on satellite and cable.
Just four of UKTV's ten channels are free-to-air on Freeview.

Including Dave, hence my query.

On Freesat it is a pay to view channel (for Sky subscribers??), according to the
link you provided.

The choice of which channels to make free-to-air on Freeview or Freesat
will be a commercial choice.
