...right on the money I think.

So bored of Clarkson et als deliberately un-PC antics. What, he's got a book/DVD etc coming out for Christmas? What a coincidence...

I do find Top Gear just annoying these days with their staged larks in cars. Disappeared up their own arse a long time ago.

Did Steve Coogan really write 'bored of'?

I don't. But you don't have to watch it to get Clarkson's stupid bap face all over the TV and papers. Hammond annoys me even more though - little tw@t who has almost no talent and just hangs on Clarkson's racist coat-tails...

How can you get annoyed with a programme you don't watch?

I don't watch it either and, guess hat, Clarkson doesn't anoy me - any more.

See above post. You don't need to watch Top Gear to have Clarkson being on the news/ papers etc for deliberately saying something to get him in the news...

What does that have to do with staged larks in cars?

I guess some people are just determined to be offended by things that a third party has been subjected to. In this case, Mexicans.

N.B if this post has offended anyone - feel free not to read it again and just move on without comment.

Coogans star dimmed years ago, its possible other celebs look at Clarkson and think 'what the fk', how does he keep in the public eye year after year?. So maybe just jealousy, even if top gear is a victim of its own success and far too scripted and predictable now.

Er, I wouldn't personally want to upset Mr Trejo if I could avoid it...

Perhaps it takes this long for the news to reach certain parts of the country!

Same here. I was the last one, my mates dropped it first and said they were tired of it. I persevered with some faith (like the stubborn loyalist that I am) that it wouldn't keep dredging new depths, and eventually even I gave up as well.

I was at the recording of one of Coogan's appearances on TG.

Only vicious editing stopped him coming over like a boring tt on the show.

I'm not offended as much as sick of the sight of Clarkson's bap face and his totally constructed 'un-PC' image. He's pretty much a parody of himself now. You don't need to watch Top Gear to be constantly aware of the annoying pr!ck...
