Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakatau a Jeremy Clarkson, te kaihautū o mua o Top Gear, kia kaua e whakahaere i te whakaaturanga o te BBC a Have I Got News For You hei te mutunga o tēnei marama. Ko te ahua o te pouaka whakaata i tuhi i te whakaaturanga, i tukuna e ia i nga wa o mua, i te Paenga-whāwhā 23 kia tukuna i te ra e whai ake nei. Ko te tuhi i tohu i tana putanga tuatahi mo te BBC mai i tana whakakorenga mo te patu i te kaiwhakanao Top Gear a Oisin Tymon i roto i te 'fracas' i te hotera i te tina. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Kāore a Jeremy Clarkson e whakahaere i tētahi wāhanga o Have I Got News For You i te mutunga o tēnei marama, e ai ki ngā kaiwhakanao o te whakaaturanga, ahakoa e tūmanako ana rātau ka hoki mai ia ki te whakaaturanga i te mutunga o te tau. Ko Jimmy Mulville, kaiwhakahaere whakahaere o Hat Trick Productions, i kii: 'I runga i te whakaaroaro, kua whakatau a Jeremy Clarkson kia kaua e whakahaere i te Have I Got News For You. 'Kei te tino tūmanako mātou ka hoki anō ia ki tana mahi kaihautū i te mutunga o te tau.' I noho tonu a Clarkson i runga i te pouaka whakaata a BBC mai i tana tango i te Top Gear i te tau 1988 mai i te kaiwhakanao o mua a Noel Edmonds. Ka whakawhiwhia ki a ia te tango i te whakaaturanga mai i te mea he kaupapa motokā motokā ki te raupapa tino tiro i runga i te BBC 2. Ko te waahi whakahaere i tohu i te putanga tuatahi o Clarkson i te BBC mai i tana wehenga mai i Top Gear mo te patu i te kaiwhakanao Oisin Tymon. Ko tana ahua whakaatu me te kore e piko ki te ahurea PC i whiwhi i a ia i nga tini o nga kaiwhaiwhai me nga kaiwhakawhiwhi, me te tautohetohe i whai i tana umanga. I whakatakotoria ia ki runga i te 'whakaaro whakamutunga' i muri i te whakapae i te korero i tetahi korero whakahirahira i runga i te rangi i a ia e korero ana i tetahi waiata tamariki, a ka nui ake te aro kaore i hiahiatia i muri i te peia o te kapa Top Gear mai i Argentina i te tau kua hipa i te wa e kiriata ana i te Kirihimete motuhake. Ko te waehere waehere o te motuka a Clarkson i whakaarohia he korero tupato mo te pakanga Falklands, ahakoa i whakakahoretia e te BBC. I whakamutua ia e te kaiwhakaputa i te Poutu-te-rangi 10 i tana ripoata i a ia ano ki te kaporeihana whai muri i te rarangi i whiua ai te kaiwhakanao a Oisin Tymon, ka pakaru tona ngutu. Whai muri i te uiuinga kotahi wiki, ka whakatau te kaiwhakahaere matua a Tony Hall kia kaua e whakahoutia tana kirimana e kii ana i taua wa 'kua whiti te raina'....
I whakaritea e Clarkson te whakahaere i tētahi whakaaturanga rongo kōrero i te mutunga o tēnei marama. Tērā pea ko te putanga tuatahi o te BBC mai i tana wehenga mai i Top Gear. Heoi anō kua whakapumautia e ngā kaiwhakaputa i tēnei rā kua mawehe atu ia i te whakaaturanga.
