On the 4th of March, 2015, while shooting an episode of the show, Jeremy Clarkson and fellow presenters Richard Hammond and James May arrived at the Simonstone Hall Hotel in North Yorkshire. Clarkson was allegedly irritated by the lack of hot food at the hotel, as the kitchen had closed and the chef had gone home, and found fault with Oisin Tymon for this fact. According to Ken MacQuarrie's investigation findings, Clarkson then subjected Tymon to 'sustained' verbal abuse, followed by a physical attack which lasted thirty seconds. After the attack, Tymon was admitted to a nearby hospital and treated for a swelled and cut lip.

  • On the 4th of March, 2015, while shooting an episode of the show, Jeremy Clarkson and fellow presenters Richard Hammond and James May arrived at the Simonstone Hall Hotel in North Yorkshire. Clarkson was allegedly irritated by the lack of hot food at the hotel, as the kitchen had closed and the chef had gone home, and found fault with Oisin Tymon for this fact. According to Ken MacQuarrie's investigation findings, Clarkson then subjected Tymon to 'sustained' verbal abuse, followed by a physical attack which lasted thirty seconds. After the attack, Tymon was admitted to a nearby hospital and treated for a swelled and cut lip. The incident was reported to the BBC by Clarkson himself on the 10th of March, 2015 and the BBC decided, controversially, to take action immediately, suspending the presenter and putting Top Gear on hiatus after Clarkson's co-presenters Hammond and May refused to film without him. Clarkson attempted to apologise to Tymon several times in the following days, even knocking on his door, but to no avail. After a fifteen day long investigation, the BBC concluded on the 25th of March, 2015 that Clarkson had launched an 'unprovoked' attack on Oisin Tymon and, as such, made the decision to refuse to renew Clarkson's Top Gear contract.
