The Guardian - Lawyers for Iris de la Torre, a 30-year-old jewellery design student in London, claim the case could cost the BBC up to £1m in damages, for using racism to boost ratings. They demanded an investigation by the BBC and suspension of the show. The BBC has already received an official complaint from the Mexican ambassador, who wrote demanding an apology for the broadcast's "xenophobic" and "offensive" content. The remark was made by the presenter Richard Hammond and his co- presenters, Jeremy Clarkson and James May, described Mexican food as "refried sick." http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2011/feb/02/top-gear-viewer-sues-bbc
