had a row with a producer allegedly
Just being himself would do it!
Charlie.
Think that's fairly common, given the number of producers they've got through. Just why it's come to a head now we may never find out.
What has he done? Pulled a publicity stunt, what else

The use of the word fracas in the news suggests something more than a simple row.
Didn't he once own the production company and sell to the BBC?
I think that it was the format of the show - he owned 50% iirc and sold it for £8M :)

a pagga?

If that means punch-up then I concur :-/
Apparently he did hit a producer. Well that is what was said on Newsnight.
If that is the case, then presumably the alleged assault would be reported to the police?
Or are 'national treasures'[1] [still] above the law at the BBC?

[1] Using the term very loosely.
Interesting choice then if the reports that he hit a producer are accurate. Does producer support a prosecution which'd give the BBC little choice but to sack Clarkson and so very possibly lose the producer a good job on a lucrative series. Or does the producer just settle (out-of-court, gagging contracts all round) for hitting Clarkson in the wallet?
Good. I am sure the producer deserved it.
Just heard one of the papers says he hit him because he didn't get his lunch on time - or whatever.

No gagging order would work in the media, they all know one another. You can be sure that the producer identity is already known around the BBC and in the areas where he works.
?Jeremy Clarkson allegedly hit a Top Gear producer after he discovered no food had been laid on during a day out filming, it has emerged. The
54-year-old?s BBC career is hanging in the balance after he was suspended by bosses for allegedly throwing a punch at the show?s assistant producer Oisin Tymon?Who looks a complete twerp to be honest.
the budget might have run out - quite a possibility with that show.
Clarkson? Yes a complete twerp for taking a swing at anyone when he is on a final warning.
