Like top gear. Yes it's contrived but its my "made in Chelsea" (where I don't have to question my brain) They get some great cars on there and visit some interesting scenery. He also advocates Brunel etc and in turn Britain

The BBC has suspended Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson "following a fracas" with a producer.
An investigation will now take place into the alleged incident and no-one else has been suspended, the corporation said.
It also said Top Gear would not be broadcast this Sunday.
"The BBC will be making no further comment at this time", it added.
Clarkson was put on what was called his final warning last year.
That followed a racism row after claims he used the n-word while reciting the nursery rhyme Eeny, Meeny, Miny Moe during filming of the BBC2 programme.
He previously faced a storm of protest from mental health charities after he branded people who throw themselves under trains as "selfish".
And he was forced to apologise for telling BBC1's The One Show that striking workers should be shot.
A BBC spokeswoman said in a statement today: "Following a fracas with a BBC producer, Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended pending an investigation.
"No one else has been suspended. Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday. The BBC will be making no further comment at this time."
More follows...
If that had been the case then surely the producer would have been suspended alongside Clarkson? No, Clarkson has, once again, got too big for his boots and decided that no one can give him instructions and has hit the producer is my take on it!!

I'm sorry the guy is very opinionated but there is no chance he just twated him for being given instructions. If he decided to hit him and endanger his job then the guy deffo said/did something to him that warranted that response.

Why don't they just show an old episode on Sunday?
After all. it's essentially a kids programme for adults and many kids either love watching the same thing again and again or have the memory of a goldfish and don't realise they are doing so.

Take him out for a pint no make that half a shandy and when he's pissed he will let his mouth run away with him and probably admit ''I have issues...they always have 'issues'....with this fascist right wing government and the Gestapo who run our Secret Services and they probably turned Jihadi John into the IS man he is today'' so Mr Chabal the answer is yes he probably ischabal said:blue underpants said:My money's on the producer being a right on trendy BBC type with a full ginger beard, wears one of those stupid seven dwarfs wooly hats, faded dungarees wearer who lives in Islington or near Hampstead Heath and has probably been getting on everybodys tits for years and Clarkson has hopefully snapped and twatted himtommcfc said:Was just about to start this topic.

Don't forget the probability that he is also an IS apologist.
Got your full house now.

Enough people like him and Top Gear to make it the most popular show on the BBC.
They're doing something right for a large number of people who tune in week after week.
Making junk TV that lots of people want isn't exactly hard.
The lower orders will watch any old rubbish, just as they'll buy any old rubbish.
A million fast food joints and tattoo parlours can't be wrong.

Not an endearing trait but the definition fits you to a tee my friend.

Some people just don't like the fact he's popular.
Actually, some people don't like his politics so think that despite being the main driver (if you'll excuse the pun) of the most successful and profitable BBC show in history then he is untalented.
And I adore the comments of "anybody can make this stuff". Anybody obviously apart from the hundreds of thousands of TV executives out there who would kill for a show as profitable and widely watched as Top Gear. For those who don't know, Top Gear is the most watched factual TV programme in the entire world and is broadcast in 212 different countries.
There's many people who I don't think like the show because they think it's "beneath them" somehow. This is a good indicator of somebody trying to look intelligent rather than actually being intelligent.
He's bang on though isn't he. The majority of popular culture is aimed at the lowest common denominator and they fucking lap it up.Davs 19 said:urmston said:101toMR said:Enough people like him and Top Gear to make it the most popular show on the BBC.
