Will "Top Gear" be back this summer, or won't it. Clarkson says no, the BBC says yes. At the end of last Sunday's episode, an announcer said the show would be back mid-year. But Clarkson, writing for the UK's Sun said, "It won't be." Sounds like a contract dispute. Like in "Hawaii Five-O" when McGarrett was "at a trial in Los Angeles" and just phoning in his part. You know it's coming back, right after Clarkson gets a fresh zero attached to his paycheck.
