Andy's been on telly again 
He turned up on Points of View putting the Top Gear side of the story on Jeremy's comments in the Lorryist challenge (you know, the ones that apparently caused a little bit of upset or something...). Anyway, I didn't see it yesterday, but it is currently on iPlayer.
However, I know iPlayer isn't available to overseas viewers, and I know there is one person who will be a bit miffed about that, so here's a transcript of what he said, with some screencaps for good measure
"Everything that we do and say on the programme is looked at, everybody discusses it, everybody who's got an opinion that should have you know, goes through the stuff, so it didn’t just end up there willy-nilly. It’s a show that has an attitude. Once you are making that kind of a show, we’re going to say and do things that upset people. This is a classic case, this is what happened, but what I will say is, there’s as many positive comments out there, if you look on the onlines and everything, and other responses as there are people who thought, no, this is outrageous and we’re very cross about it. It was the kind of comment that was so exaggerated to the point of, like, comic absurdity that it just doesn’t have any bearing on reality, doesn’t have any meaning about reality. It was just utterly, absurdly exaggerated as a comment, and that’s why it stayed there."
