Plus, when do producers produce hot food to someone rolling in money? He couldn't be bothered to pick up a phone and order takeaway? It is a lazy and sad excuse of being in a privileged position.

A nurse can be disciplined for using a sachet of salt, but it is slap-up meal for him or he makes a producers life a living hell with them getting thoroughly insulted, humiliated and punched by Jeremy Clarkson. The latter is seen as perfectly acceptable.

Logic.
Nobody said it was acceptable behaviour, they said the BBC was out to get him.

As to when do producers lay on food? How about always? The producer is supposed to run the production, which includes feeding the cast saying "Oh he should order takeaway" is just excusing the producer being sloppy. That doesn't excuse Clarkson's behaviour, but even Clarkson hasn't tried to excuse his behaviour, hell he reported himself, the producer he assaulted apparently tried to keep it quiet.

There's clearly been something else going on behind the scenes, this wasn't about hot food, that was just what made Clarkson flip out.
