No.

Do you write to Points Of View too to complain about stuff ?

Too much time on your hands if you ask me.

didnt think the jibe about De Menendez was bad...saw the humour of it in some ways.

I already had a funny feeling that the hamster would win the race, especially against the car. Jeremy on the boat hmmm I always thought there was a speedlimit near the houses of parliament.

Definately not, Jeremy is one of the most un-PC presenters on tele, which I admire him for.

I saw all three yesterday at MPH 07 in Birmingham in their live show, they were brilliant and as usual didn't care what they said.

This is what makes them stand out from other pathetic boring presenters who are scared of upsetting the people that give them their big fat pay cheques.

I suspect his family are slightly more concerned about being lied to and patronised by those in charge of policing in London (and directly responsible for the cockup that killed him, the cover up afterwards, the attempt to delay the investigation and the subsequent attempt to smear their dead son in court at public expense) to worry about one TV presenter having a pop at the Met Police. In the context of what our country needs to get on its knees and apologise to them for, that's fairly low down the list.

Went to MPH at Earls Court a couple of years ago, was excellent.

I thought the same. It was at the expense of the coppers in my opinion.

Anyway back to top Gear, I managed to catch the Polar Special on Dave yesterday, that was pretty awesome wasn't it. And the Africa one was excellent too.

This has to be one of the pest programmes on TV, and any motoring show that can get my wife as a regular viewer must be doing something right.

Indeed, my wife watches it too.

For some reason, I'm not finding this series as laugh out loud funny as some of the others. The African special was good but not as good as the American special. The channel crossing not as good as the original amphibious cars etc. The cross London race was very good however.

But still, one of three programs on the BBC that I pay my licence for. :)

Jeremy Clarkson is an oasis in the PC, bleedin heart, liberal desert.

A knighthood is long overdue
