Do u like the new series of programs he has on 2 ?

I loved the one about guns last week and am looking forward to the one tonite on PCs - the clip I saw of him bashing one reminds me of someone from work !!!

I remember a few years ago he did a spoof holiday show type report from Rotherham. It was hillarious, but the Rotherham Tourist Department were up in arms.

Does anyone else remember it?

Vaguely remember it - he's from there or sommat I believe. His brother used to work on the supertram as a conductor - dunno what he does nowadays

Apparently he worked for the Rotherham Advertiser but was actually from Donny according to some sites... full bio here http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/...20031116.shtml

I do - I thought it was excellent! It was definately a spoof - but soem people had a sense of humour bypass.

Clarkson is from Tickhill, I think. I aslo think his mum has a business selling stuffed toys?

Yeah, Clarkson seems to have a knack of presenting these programs

I thought he was just a car nut, but hes actually quite intelligent

The one he did about his father was really good, and of course he loves my hero Isambard Kingdom-Brunel

I dread to think how many tyres the guy has gone through.

Quite actually I think you will find..

Did not know my favourite presenter, based on `Top Gear` has been branching out so far, can someone give me details on his new series please?

`Honoury` Dr Clarkson

He's a local guy, most famous for being on Top Gear, although has written for a Rotherham newspaper, had his own chat show and travelled quite a lot.

His presenting style and opinions seem to be received with either love or hatred, so what is your opinion of the guy?

dinp · 20-06-2004, 01:30

(please merge with other thread on Clarkson)

t020 · 20-06-2004, 01:35

Sometimes he's quite funny, other times (such as when I heard him joke about running foxes over deliberately) I distinctly dislike him. I neither like or dislike him really - a bit of both.

dinp · 20-06-2004, 01:41

I've recently bought his book - The World According to Clarkson, which contains numberous columns he's written in the past few years and what he writes is, I believe, funny, common sense but makes light of true events as well.

Generally I like the guy but he doesn't like The Strokes, so he'll never get a 5/5

saxon51 · 20-06-2004, 12:48

He's a wind-up merchant, but he presents things wonderfully.

Sam Miguel · 20-06-2004, 13:08

He gets on my wires. I don't really like him.

JoeP · 20-06-2004, 14:27

Oh he's great!

I don't agree with half of what he says, but he's a sound bloke, accordng to what I read of him and what I read by him!

In a world of increasing PCness, it's great to have someone stir it up!

Whilst refurbishing my house, I found a collection of old newspapers left from the previous owner, of which from 1989 there was a copy of Sheffield Motoring Gazette containing a review of the new Ford Fiesta at that time and written by a one and only Jeremy Clarkson, question is was the same Jeremy Clarkson motor mouth we know today ?

Smiler · 20-06-2004, 16:13

He's one of my least liked celebrities. I'd happily stick him on a desert island and forget about him. He can have Cilla Black for company.
