Rejected petition Bring Jeremy clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May back to top gear
Top gear has been ruined, if we pay our tv license we should have a choice of who presents the show we all now miss,
Let's have parliament over-rule the bbc and reinstate them
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
