Premier Rock Forum

I did a search, didn't find anything, Kerble away.

They used Mogwai for background music and sent a Robin several hundred feet into the air. I'm going with Not Crap.

The episode where they took a road trip through Alabama was classic. They were actually attacked by a pickup truck full of shirtless ruffians known only as "the boys".

NOT CRAP

When it was purely a motoring show it was acceptable, if you were into motoring. However, it's more of a light entertainment programme these days with more emphasis on silly stunts and providing a platform for Clarkson's right-wing views (poorly disguised a railing against political correctness).

It's a pity 'the boys' didn't get a hold of one of them.

The 'Loser thing' (Fingers making the shape of an L, pressed against the forehead whilst chanting Loser!, Loser!, Loser!) that Clarkson does gets right on my nipple ends.

CRAP.

Odious little men revelling in the fact that their 'most irritating tit in your school class' act is widely greeted with applause, rather than yawning and slaps to the head.

Clarkson and his fawning gang of mini-me pillocks scare me rigid, such is their ability to tap into the laziest, ugliest facets of the boy-done-good, vaguely-upwardly mobile, middle-management/estate agent class or worse still, those who dream of a life in that world.

That there are women who have bought into their particular brand of 'lad' is mind-blowing to me.

Ugh. Horrible. Yuck.

I would rather shatter my jaw on a concrete bollard than endure a moment of Jeremy Clarkson ("39") A contrived, reactionary ape who appears to be haunted by a persistent imaginary stereotype of "tree-hugging Guardian readers."

Does he really do that Loser thing?

I can't abide this show, and find them all massively annoying, and thought that this was a view shared by all reasonable people. HOWEVER, a certain forum poster I shall not name, came round my house one weekend and was overjoyed that our sky tv had a channel where they were showing it all the time.. I did not enjoy this at all. I have since discovered that I am in fact in a minority.. this has, if anything, strengthened my opinions


CRAP

You're all too easily annoyed. The show is by far the best thing on TV by some distance.
Clarkson's books reveal himself as a wannabe right winger on the grounds that it annoys people but most of his viewpoints are surprisingly left-wing on the whole.
I like him, I think he's funny.

NB it was him!

On one hand we have:

Dave Morris, director of the Scottish Ramblers Association said: "We found Clarkson’s stunt highly irresponsible. Driving to the top of a mountain over open ground is inevitably going to cause damage to the countryside. It is wrong of the BBC to promote such hare-brained and reckless behaviour."

and:

It's not long since Clarkson fell foul of conservationists by driving a 4x4 through a Scottish peat bog. It was a precious and vulnerable area of rural Britain - awareness of which had either passed Clarkson by completely or failed to concern him.

yet,

An inquiry is to be held over a footpath dispute between famous Isle of Man resident Jeremy Clarkson and a group of local ramblers.

The BBC Top Gear presenter has been criticised after he fenced-off part of his land that is popular with walkers.

And let's not forget:

When MG Rover collapsed this year and Clarkson wrote: "When I heard the news my first thought was 'Good',"

The man is a complete fucking idiot.

I'll say not crap as long as you don't take it seriously.

It's still infinitely better viewing than 'Homosexual-Z-list-Celebrities-On-Ice-Uncovered' or whatever total guff fills up the rest of the channels.
