BBC boss Tony Hall says Jeremy Clarkson is a vital voice 'but not at any price'
BBC director-general Tony Hall delivered his televised statement on Jeremy Clarkson’s fate with the solemnity of the Queen’s Christmas speech.
Wearing a pained expression and gazing earnestly into the camera, the BBC boss paid tribute to Clarkson “who, for nearly 25 years, has produced extraordinary work on Top Gear”.
He continued: “I’ve always been a great fan of his work on Top Gear and I also believe his voice and voices like his have a place, an important place, on the BBC... but not at any price.”
