Clarkson Watch: Radio 1 and the One Show

Fans of Jeremy and Radio 1 enjoyed a rousing start to the day: our man had an unusually early and energetic morning as he made an appearance on Radio 1’s Chris Moyles Breakfast Show.

Subjects covered included Jeremy’s hitherto hidden love of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, how much he’s really not looking forward to the Olympics at all, his new Powered Up DVD, and the difficulties of packing for an imminent trip to both China and Australia.  Plus of course, the revelation that our Top Gear Christmas Special will be in India, and will be on UK screens on 28 December at 8pm (more info here).

You can listen to the whole show here – fast forward to the last hour for Jeremy’s bit.

And later today – before said trip to China and Australia – Jeremy will be making the short trip downstairs from the Top Gear office to the One Show. That’s on at 7pm on BBC1 if you’re in the UK.

We don’t know what he’ll be talking about on that, but when he gets here we’ll ask…

Love the show…

Please, consider opening an episode of Top Gear with a quote from the opening of Huckleberry Finn:

“PERSONS attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted;
persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting
to find a plot in it will be shot.”

I think Jeremy’s comment about shooting people in front of their families was too extreme, however humorous its (failed) intention, but when you see it in context of the longer discussion it was obviously said to get a reaction and no more – and it succeeded in getting a reaction better than anyone could have imagined! No a very good one, mind…….

I like to drink tea. I’m British and I like to drink tea. But I also like to call my dinner tea. So I like to eat and drink tea. Did I mention that I’m British. Lets go have some tea.

If any of the Top Gear production team are reading this, here’s an idea for you: get Clarkson and the others to spend a day with the emergency services in their vehicles. That way Clarkson gets to spend a day with the public sector workers who are up in arms about his comments, you get a decent feature for an episode and everyone can simmer down and find something new to moan about.

Clarkson is the voice of the people, who just has the balls to say what we think on live TV. Good man.

The Stig Farmer said it right. The truth hurts. The PS Workers know the truth, the public knows the truth, but everyone walks around pointing the finger. The facts always scare people…
Everyone stood back in shock…oh my god, he said that…he said that…no one said what a bloody liar….nope. Everyone said out loud, what an ass for saying that…but inside, everyone is “well, you know he is right…” even the PS Workers will say this to themselves, then laugh because they have gilded pensions while the rest of us have to work for the rest of our lives…I live in Canada, same problems as you from the public service standpoint and unions…we had to grow up with American TV, that’s the only difference…

Just a thought from the idiot who felt Jeremy (and others no doubt) should be thanking teachers and nurses and other public service workers for taking such good care of his family and so on. Ummm, could have sworn, we pay taxes which in turn are paid to these people who CHOOSE to be a public service worker, and who seem to get pissed when the public wants service. And further…any PS worker under the age of 40, you have no right to strike or complain. these problems existed long before you signed up and worse, YOU KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUES OF PS WORK WHEN YOU SIGNED UP! What, it was going to change now because you were there?

Everyone has a right to freedom of speech, whether people like what is said or not! I don’t personally think that everything Jeza says is correct but the man’s just voicing an opinion of which I imagine he is not the only who shares it!
But why try and get him sacked …..don’t see what the point is!

People should just shut up and get over it in my opinion!!!!

Love you Jeremy, keep being yourself, I may disagree with you sometimes but ultimately think you are fabulous darling!

Much Love

first of all, I don’t live in Europe.But from an outsider’s perspective, ( I risk myself in getting into a big political arguments here), the public sector, through out most of the EU countries has fundamental problems. Boosting up the GDP,hence the economy by bulging up the public sector is never the long term solution. The pay increases with GDP, heck, the pay increases way faster than the GDP, combined with astronomical sum of benefits needs to be paid out, the debt crisis, I think it’s fairly reasonable to have the wage cut for public sector workers, consider how they may have been over paid in the first place. But, hey, have a sense of humor,there is no reason for you to all riot up about Jeremy’s comments, which, by the way I thought was mad funny.
If there is anyone for you to be angry with, let it be the policy maker, for they almost always lack in terms of instituting proper policy and inefficiency. No need to let ur anger out on some funny comments on the harsh reality.

Well,

Clarkson sometimes is a real pain in the …..
Don’t know what he wants or expects. Maybe he is bored working for BBC and wants to be sacked to claim a huge amount of money to start something new.

Or he is just getting old. I think the time has come to say farewell to Top Gera as it has been.
Maybe they need some “fresh blood” to develop a new format or to improve the old one.
My personal view is, give us the Christmas special and a staggering series 18 and then bring it to an end with dignity.

Take a sabbatical and come back with a new concept and Slow, The Hamster and someone who replaces Clarkson.
Yep he is a mate of the producer and he and Andy have developed the existing format, but that’s it.
Clarkson definetly is redundant the way he currently acts and behaves.

Sorry, I am a huge fan of Top Gear, but Clarkson just sucks and bores me to dead.

If people aren’t allowed to say what they want to, then what kind of a society are we living in? Come on people, let’s get our sense of humour in check and stop being a bunch of humourless, complaining sourpusses.
Clarkson for Prime Minister!

Top Gear UK should test drive the new SVT Raptor! A tricked out one at that! A Hennessey 800 Raptor would be insane, i would love to see the guys reaction to such a beast. Yes this comment is completely irrelevant to this blog post.

How time flies! Christmas is getting closer and closer. There is only 15 days or so left for us to prepare for the biggest holiday-Christmas. In order to celebrate this holiday, we would buy ourselves or our family, our friends some gifts. But what are the best gifts for them. Below, I would like to suggest two products. One is “UGG boot”, the other is Monster beat.
Made of sheepskin with sheep fleece decking the insides, the comfort of a “UGG” is absolutely unparalleled. Known for its longevity, the fleece on the inside adds a comforting padding to the tough boots, which are strengthened by the sheepskin coating on the outside. With the soles extensively made of padded rubber these days, the comfort of the boots is never compromised.
It’s known to us that “Monster headphones” tend to be the most famous headset all over the world. Monster beats has the top audio fidelity and coolest vogue. There are varied superstars and singers wish to use“Monster Beats”. If you are still wondering what to buy for this Christmas, why not take Monster Beats into consideration?

Its called freedom of speech. Jeremy can say some crazy things but the show wouldnt be what it is without him. BBC will loose alot of ratings if they fire him. Its like the three amigos, if one leaves the other two will be broken. Thank you Jeremy for saying what people wish they can say but wont because they are too scared

Jeremy is hilarious. He didn’t intend for the comment to be taken literally. I’m an American and even I know that! ;)

Will somebody from Top Gear PLEASE explain to the Liberal do-gooders at the Huffinton post and the Daily Mirror that the bog seat on the boot gag was aimed at Richard Hammond and not the Indian people, as they seem to be unable to grasp the concept of humour.
The Puffington post seems to have it in for Jeremy at the moment, and I for one am bloody sick of seeing this absolute crap saying that the program was racist.
