Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has said he will not leave the BBC show without a fight - and is already considering a new show based around farming . Clarkson is said to be in discussions with Andy Williams , his long standing collaborator and Top Gear 's executive producer , to star in a new farming show - just days after he launched into an extraordinary foul-mouthed rant at BBC bosses during a charity gala . Speculation is mounting over what will happen to one of the BBC 's biggest stars when his fate is finally decided at a meeting this week . Jeremy Clarkson ( pictured on Countryfile ) is said to be in discussions with Andy Williams , Top Gear 's executive producer , over starring in a new farming show . He told the Sunday Mirror today that he has been 'put on silence ' which is why he has been refusing to comment on the allegations he punched Oisin Tymon , a 36-year-old Top Gear producer , in a row over the lack of catering . Clarkson told the paper : ' I 've been put on silence . There are very good reasons from my point of view why I simply ca n't say a word . ' His future at the BBC is to be decided next week when the corporation 's internal probe into his 'fracas ' with Mr Tymon is put before Director-General Tony Hall . But sources close to the presenter told the paper that if he is sacked he will probably sue for wrongful dismissal . They said he is still 'fuming ' about the top BBC boss who allegedly compared his situation to paedophile Jimmy Savile 's - and has vowed to find out who it was . Clarkson was embroiled in a row with BBC after he allegedly punched his producer Oisin Tymon . An insider said Clarkson thinks BBC bosses have launched a smear campaign against him and he 'wo n't let that go ' . The paper also revealed that the BBC are already filming the pilot of an alternative motoring show called 'The Getaway ' . The Sunday Times has reported that Clarkson is already considering a change in direction - and may become the face of a new documentary series on farming . The paper reports Clarkson originally took the idea to then BBC director General George Entwistle in 2012 but it did not get the go-ahead . But following the now infamous fracas and the uncertainty surrounding his current job , Clarkson it said to be preparing a new proposal for the show . A source told the paper : 'In the last week Jeremy has had a chance to firm it up . It 's about trying to run a farm when you do n't know anything about farming and getting things wrong ... in a Top Gear-esque way . ' In 2012 , Clarkson told the Radio Times : ' I love the idea of being a farmer , that 's why I like watching Adam 's Farm [ on Countryfile ] . But farming land is complex . It 's a business , but it 's important to me that the land looks beautiful too . '
