In the fallout of "Top Gear" host Jeremy Clarkson's "fracas" with a producer, BBC has cancelled the remaining three episodes of the current series.
BBC News adds that while Clarkson has been suspended after said fight with the producer "pending an investigation," fellow presenters James May and Richard Hammond have not been suspended, per a statement by the BBC.
As for how Clarkson is handling the situation, he wrote in his column for The Sun:
I'm having a nice cold pint and waiting for this to blow over.
He has also taken to Twitter, discussing with Hammond and May what movies could be aired in place of this Sunday's cancelled episode, and apologizing to Labour Party and opposition leader Ed Miliband about bumping Miliband's "'I'm a human' piece" down from the top of the news headlines.
The suspension — of which over 250,000 fans are petitioning to have undone — comes after Clarkson was presented with a final warning last year by the BBC after footage of the presenter using a racist word in a nursery rhyme was found by The Daily Mirror.
