So of all the characters a gifted comic can play, that's the one? Really????


As a complete aside, I am getting really hacked off with this new use of ~"Really?". Sort of pronounced Rreeaaly?


Not a dig at you Sean, a good mate has started doing it all the bloody time, because his new bird uses it a lot.


Very annoying!

I had the misfortune of working for Top Gear magazine, and consequently ran across Clarkson with more regularity than is healthy.


Suffice to say that he's not playing a character, that's him. He's so obnoxious it's almost perverse.


He was fliming down one end of our carpark, and we were down the other - around 100 yards away - having our usual fag break. He completely lost it because he thought we were looking at him. We were subject to a tirade of abuse and then forbidden from smoking when Clarkson was around.


What a prat.



Exactly !!! With everyone rushing to say he is playing a character I started to think I was going mad


Ok, my or Huguenot?s opinion isn?t going to prove anything ? but if it happened to be the case that Clarkson really doesn?t believe what he comes out with, does that change his supporters? viewpoint?

I do really enjoy watching Top Gear though, not because I 'like' or 'admire' Clarkson, I like the premise of the programme.


It appeals to me at a really base level, the rebellious little schoolboy inside who gets off on seeing how many burgers he can fit in his mouth, or bullying the goofy kid.

he's a cunt, he's a cunt, he's a big fat cunt, he's the biggest fattest cunt in the whole wide world...


Good, never believed for a second he was somehow "method acting". I know too many people who think like him, but aren't given the print and broadcast platforms to air their noxious ramblings. Adding a humorous veneer makes his poisonous rants no less toxic.


Twatola of the first order.

And that Brian May is dead sexy.

What? We all have guilty pleasures and I'm afraid this is mine. James May is the only likeable presenter on it but I just can't help but find it entertaining.


I don't buy Clarkson books or read his columns but once a week, for an hour, I find the combination of cars, crashes, explosions and minor celebrity a blessed relief from the world of high-culture that I normally inhabit. One can go to too many performances of Swan Lake you know.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
