Clarkson would quit if show moved up North - RTE.ie
The show is currently recorded in London and the BBC is committed to ensuring that at least half of its output is produced outside London by 2016.
Although the BBC has made no plans to move the production up North, Clarkson has already expressed his feeling on the matter.
Writing in his Sunday Times column, Clarkson described Salford, Manchester as a "small suburb with little to offer beyond a Starbucks and a canal with ducks on it"
He continued with his rant saying: "[Salford] is nowhere near any court that matters and nowhere near a single politician.
"Furthermore, if we ran the show from Salford, we'd be employing people from Salford. People who were born there and thought, 'Yes, I like this. I see no reason to go anywhere else'.
"And in the world of television, that could be a genuine handicap. Every year we'd end up making a Christmas special from the Dog and Duck or the nearest Arndale Centre."
