I know most of you guys probably know all this, but i just need to get this rant off my chest, with out signing up for ANOTHER site, just to yell at some people.
1) the Full episodes are not Filmed. just the non Studio bits.
the parts in studio, (lead-ins to the filmed bits, "the News" "SIRPC", etc) are shot on the Weds before transmission.
2) There is no lost advertiser revenue, because the BBC isn't Commercial Television. there are no Commercials, it's basically a public, OTA Subscription service. you have to pay an annual license fee to get the channels.(yes this is an over simplified comparison, but in general it works)
Obviously you have never watched a BBC channel. Commercials are a source of their income as well.

It's been a while that I have watched TV, but BBC One and Two used to not show any commercials. Maybe one of our UK posters can clarify.

Apparently the Stig drove a tank to BBC offices with a petition of one million signatures to reinstate Clarkson...
In the meantime, Clarkson called the BBC execs at a charity event of all things, in anticipation of getting sacked, something very bad. Now they have no choice but to give him the boot.

Nope, take it from someone who's lived in England for 30 years. They definitely don't advertise in the commercial sense.
In the breaks between shows the might be a promo-ad for an upcoming show prevent they're covering, but nobody advertises on the BBC.
They are funded entirely by the license payer. (foil hat guys say it's state sponsored propaganda)

^ not quite correct.
In the UK, there are no advertisements. But BBC America does have advertisements as does the website when accessed from outside the UK.
And the funding is not entirely the license payer because of the revenue from the aforementioned sources as well as revenue from selling shows around the world, in particular Top Gear.

Quote from Wiki:
Income from commercial enterprises and from overseas sales of its catalogue of programmes has substantially increased over recent years,[75] with BBC Worldwide contributing some £145 million to the BBC's core public service business.
According to the BBC's 2013/14 Annual Report, its total income was £5 billion (£5,066.0 million),[1] which can be broken down as follows:
£3,726.1 million in licence fees collected from householders;
£1,023.2 million from the BBC's Commercial Businesses;
£244.6 million from government grants, of which £238.5 million is from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for the BBC World Service;
£72.1 million from other income, such as rental collections and royalties from overseas broadcasts of programming.[1]

This just in. Clarkson's contract will not be renewed by the BBC.
Curious move by the BBC because the other two's contracts ,May and Hammond, expire soon.
Hoping that Clarkson, May and Hammond will move to one of the other stations that will be glad to have them. Maybe a new car show on Sky.
