Do you think that he naturally annoying or do you think that he is a smart man in a slobs body?

I quite enjoy his little rants.

I'm convinced he just plays that blokey character to appeal to a certain section of the viewing public.

Without that whole ' I'm the last sane man in Britain' shtick that he keeps peddling what are you left with?

A middling tv presenter with crap hair. He'd be luck to get a job on Look North :gag:

Some of my friends would disown me for this dirty little secret, but I just love his way with words and turns of phrase. His column in the Sunday Times never fails to make me laugh out loud at some point, even if I disagree with what he's saying.

I'm not a fan of his. I would prefer Top Gear without him to be honest. I won't say any more. I vented my spleen enough on the Jamie Oliver thread yesterday!

He is a thoroughly nice man. His Top Gear persona is just a magnification of himself. In the same way as May is a blithering idiot in real life and Hammond is just a bit daft, they just beef it up for the cameras.

He is many things but one thing he most definitely is not, is stupid.

What would Jeremy Clarkson say if a BNP member called at his door and asked him to vote for them at the Euro elections?

Now that is the question we must address ourselves to. I think he would not vote BNP.

JC is the sort of man any right thinking woman should totally hate, but he's just so funny, and the way he says things is so tongue in cheek and up front, you just have to laugh with him. He's also quite appealing in a scuffy, I don't care what you think about my clothes and hair, way.

And like, purdy said above, his column sometimes just makes me crease up. I think he's probably more or less the same in real life, magnified slightly for his public persona.

I think he will have a public persona and a private one, like most "stars".

He can't be as annoying in real life.

Like Gordon Ramsey, he can't swear like he does on TV when he is at home with his children.

I've actually spoken to him, and he's just the same as he is on TV. I think he's great!

He signed my boob :banana:

Although I disagree with 90% of the things he says, I've always found his turn of phrase highly entertaining. To me his on-screen persona comes across a p*ss-take of himself, a sort of semi-ironic exaggeration for comic purposes of that bit of every middle-aged man's psyche that is permanently fourteen years of age.

The clues are there if you look for them - he has let slip on at least one occasion that he's a member of the RSPB, and one "Star In A Reasonably Priced Car" Keith Allen (whom I doubt would touch the show with a barge pole if JC was really such an unreconstructed tosser) gave the game away by insisting that he knew for a fact that Clarkson did actually care a great deal about the environment and should come clean.

He also tends to end Top Gear with the line "And on that bombshell...", an obvious reference to Alan Partridge. QED.

Clarkson studied journalism at Richmond College and I think his first job was on the Rotherham Advertiser. No wonder he has that p**s taking style and tongue in cheek sense of humour!

I like his 'public persona' and adore Top Gear, though a mate of mine who used to work with him on the Advertiser reckons he's a complete tw@7
