In the aftermath of "Top Gear" host Jeremy Clarkson's firing, the show's producer bids farewell, while the BBC's director receives death threats.
In an email leaked to Jalopnik, executive producer Andy Wilman confirmed his exit from Broadcasting House, proclaiming that he and his crew left everyone "wanting more." Wilman went on to praise the show as a whole, from the work ethic of the staff and the awards won, to the following "Top Gear" brought and the production values put into the show.
While Wilman has left the building, he did say the BBC will make certain that the show continues for anyone still interested in following suit, adding that he and the hosts "were only part of the show's history, not the whole of it."
Meanwhile, BBC Director-General Lord Tony Hall received security at his home in Oxfordshire after an alleged death threat was emailed to him from outside the United Kingdom, according to Scotland Yard. The threat came after the announcement of Jeremy Clarkson's firing, a decision made after the investigation into the "fracas" between Clarkson and producer Oisin Tymon came to a close.
