I only saw his and Hislops. Didn't Clarkson find out that one of his distant ancestors was a murderer or something?

That's right. He comes from quite an interesting family too - didn't his Mum sneak in the Paddington Bear thing?
Something like that. It's a long time since I saw it.
Did you see Clarkson's programme on the Victoria Cross? Again, that was really interesting. As a means of illustrating the sort of things VC wuinners did, he went through the story of an obscure soldier who was awarded the VC (not posthumously, unusually!) for his actions at Arnhem. This bloke was running round, ahving been shot several times already, shooting from the hip with a grenade launcher that supposedly took two men to load. Right at the end Clarkson said, 'So how did I find out about this man? Well, I'm married to his daughter, and I never knew until after he'd died that he'd got a VC.'
Tbh I expected the programme to be hagiographic, turgid bollocks, but it was very good.

It's also one of those stories that really humbles you as well. It does me at any rate.

THank God ! Someone else who sees him through my eyes - I love cars, watch every TV programme about them ........... but Clarkson ???
I couldn't deliberately hurt any living thing - but if I had a gun and was in a room with Jeremy Knobhead Clarkson I think I could quite happily commit muder ! I fuckin' hate the self opinionated twat !

Some say that when he had his tonsils out, the surgeons removed his sense of humour by mistake, and that he's spent so much time in North America, he's lost all sense of irony. All we know is... he's called Danny La Rouge!

Heres one for you regarding the tw*t...I have seen him with my own eyes go up to an old bloke in town ( maybe he shouldn't have been driving ) though made a reasonable job of parking his car. Clarkson goes up to him and tells him that in 30 years of driving that is the worst parking he has ever seen....totally OTT
A week later I see him park a roller / bentley in a way that manages to occupy 3 spaces...w*nker
Plus he had a bit of road rage with my dad after cutting him up...my ol man would have done him no probs...flicked him the v's and that was it....he scarpered so basically my dad had him

You are not gay (you just think you are) or you do not like cars. Fact.chrisshapland said:
I'm female, and not tremendously attractive, and I don't even like cars, but I'm still glued to Top Gear! It's not really as though it's about the cars, it's about Jeremy Clarkson being odious; they also blow stuff up (which is great) and there's loads of very funny comedy moments.

Many cars are just cars, but, some cars are Alfa's, which is why I might have to bite the bullet and catch the new series tonight as they feature the GTA M.

I stopped watching a long time back but watched last night purely for the GTA. The piece on Eddie Kidd was very moving. Will probably not watch again. Will stick to things more like 5 th gear in future.There’s a much better thread here:
