Ive read Clarkson’s info on wiki, it sounds like a lot of stuff he says and does is designed to shock and to get a reaction, like these gems:
In October 1998, Hyundai complained to the BBC about what they described as “bigoted and racist” comments he made at the Birmingham Motor Show, where he was reported as saying that the people working on the Hyundai stand had “eaten a dog” and that the designer of the Hyundai XG had probably eaten a spaniel for his lunch.
On 30 November 2011 while being interviewed on the BBC’s The One Show, Clarkson commented on the UK’s public sector strike that day, lauding the capital’s empty roads. After mentioning the BBC’s need for balance, he said, “I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families.”
Pretty funny stuff.
LOL! Clarkson’s gritty sarcasm is old-school British humor. I can only imagine what they edit OUT of that show.. James May, Richard Hammond and Clarkson are an amazing chemistry! Top Gear UK is the best how on TV (BBC), IMO.
MANY episodes of Top Gear (UK) are on tonight on BBCAmerica, YES!!! I encourage all FReepers to check it out!!!
