Flicking through channels at home and just found him presenting a show about dogs on some low budget cable channel. What a difference to Clarkson and even Tiffney Dell. So what went wrong for him?

Ended up doing a load of crappy programmes, some non-car, but none spring to mind.

Either that or he drowned in his own slime.

He appears on a lot of adverts in magazines as well, stuff like car insurance and anything vaguely car related.

last programme i saw him on was one where he tried to get people to buy more economical cars.

One guy had a 10 year old rover 600 the other had some sort of 4x4. In both cases he tried to talk them into buying the latest Asian fiesta/focus sized crap box.

In the end both refused and stayed with their current cars

Writes a column for Classic Cars magazine.
Makes plenty of money doing speaking engagements and so on
Lives in a fancy chateau in France
Spends most of his time being a nice bloke, and none of his time being up himself like the aforementioned.
Like the rest of us, he goes where the money is.

He crops up on BBC news 24 whenever they have any sort of motoring story that requires comment.

By accounts from people who have met Willson, he's meant to be like Tiff. (Who I've met breifly a couple of times) Friendly and unpretentious. smile

As for Clarkson.... rolleyes or Hammond for that matter!

I'd rather watch Quentin than that wobbly headed muppet Tiff Needell.
