He may have been suspended from the hit show Top Gear but Jeremy Clarkson could be back on our screens as host of the BBC's Have I Got News For You.
The presenter is currently the subject of an internal inquiry after he was involved in a "fracas" with a producer on the motoring show.
But it has emerged that he is due to record the satirical panel show in May.
Jimmy Mulville, from production company Hat Trick, which makes the show, told the Broadcasting Press Guild that he thought Clarkson was "a fantastic broadcaster".
He said: "As far as I'm concerned he is hosting Have I Got News for You, the BBC has not told me what to do yet and it will be an interesting conversation."
He joked: "Maybe we will get the producer on so he can hit Jeremy Clarkson live on television."
The BBC declined to comment on whether Clarkson's suspension, if it is still in force, would cover an appearance on a separate show.
Meanwhile the traveller community has condemned a BBC Trust decision to reject complaints about Clarkson using the word "pikey" on Top Gear.
The presenter put up a placard with the words Pikey's Peak on the BBC2 series in February last year.
Viewers complained that the sign was "grossly offensive and racist" to the "gypsy traveller community", whose children are subjected to the word as a term of abuse in schools.
But the trust's Editorial Standards Committee (ESC) concluded that the word had been used to mean "cheap", rather than as a term of racist or ethnic abuse.
A spokesman for the Traveller Movement said he was "horrified" by the acceptance of the word.
"The claim that it has evolved a new meaning and that most people do not realise it has any reference at all with gypsies and travellers is absolute rubbish.
"It is an absurd decision that flies in the face of the evidence we presented during the course of the 13-month-long complaint process."
The BBC Trust said in a statement: "The trust is not sanctioning the abuse of anyone. The Editorial Standards Committee's role is to hear individual complaints and judge them against the BBC's editorial guidelines and reach a conclusion.
"The committee recognised the potential of the word in question to be deeply offensive but did not agree that in this context it was used as a term of racist or ethnic abuse.
"The committee advised considerable caution if it is employed in the future."
It comes after Ben Collins, who played Top Gear's mysterious Stig character for eight years, said the show would be able to continue without Clarkson as a host.
