Probably in the minority here but I can't stand him. Lives 10 miles from me as well. Seen him twice once getting out of his Range Rover and another time in Sainsbury's in Chipping Norton.

The guy is a dick. Not interested in him in the slightest.

I would not be shocked if this is a hoax to increase ratings with him returning after a proverbial slap on the wrist, guy is such a dick.

I've got to agree that the guy's a tool, regardless of whether or not he's like his on-screen persona in real life. I just don't see how his behaviour is 'funny' or 'ironic' or 'solely to wind-up the PC brigade'. I just find his jingoism sad and pathetic. Perhaps they should rebrand 'Top Gear' as a constructed-reality show.
I remember having a conversation in the local with some people who all thought Clarkson was great. They couldn't understand why I hated him and genuinely thought I was just playing devil's advocate!

He's a cheerleader for mass ignorance.

it sounds to me like someone high up at the bbc got butt hurt from coming off worse than the other after some fisticuffs, if it had been the other way around clarkson probably had walked out.
APPARENTLY, after a day shooting that over ran they got back to the hotel, hit the bar for a few pints/glasses of wine and then when they were finished he realised the chef had gone home and the only food on offer was a cheese/cold meat (delete depending on your paper of choice) platter, at which point he got pissed off and decided chinning the producer was the way to go. Seems a bit strange, why chin the producer rather than the hotel manager, not like the producer forced him to drink a few pints first.
Surely if it happened in the pub after filming it's just a civil matter anyway? Storm in a tea cup!
I genuinely think he's funny, that doesn't mean I think he's a great bloke, I wouln't want to hang out with Borat or David Brent either (who despite what he claims his 'character' in the office is just him.)

Love him or hate him, he's not going away. Even if the BBC sack him, Sky are apparently very keen to have him. Can't say I actually like the man, but he does make me laugh.

For years I couldn't make my mind up about him. I found some of his reporting very funny but there was something about him that didn't sit right with me.
I came to the conclusion 2 years ago that he is a complete dick. A spoilt bastard who is just a bit too comfortable with his own stardom.
Seriously, Top gear of late is a joke, 3 middle aged kids acting the twat doing things that are to be honest embarrassing now. A few years back it was great, good chemistry between the presenters, some great cars and it was interesting. Now it's just a bit jaded and stupid.
There's something very, very sad about watching JC sliding a £400K supercar round that track.
Time to shake it up I say.

Cars don't really interest me that much, however top gear is rather watchable. with most things bbc, there's little need to keep the big names. Can they get rid of clarkson, norton and all the rest of those dullards. Add winkelman to list...
I'd have Katherine Jenkins and Elisha Cuthbert presenting top gear...

I preferred Top Gear years, and years ago, when they actually reviewed the cars and the show was about CARS not the presenters ego's and personalities.
