Now Jeremy's in trouble for the QI episode. Talking about his reaction saying vets have a high rate of suicide. I remember the episode when he talked to the young lady that was going to be a vet.

No, the Mirror is playing its usual 'let's find an excuse to bash Clarkson' game. They've had a problem with Jeremy for years, and they'll usually find one (and if they can't, they make something up). While it's fair to say that in the light of the reaction to his comments elsewhere, it's understandable that the BBC pulled the episode for now, nobody has actually done anything wrong unless you count the person in the new media department who accidentally loaded the wrong episode of QIXL to iPlayer.

I agree. I thought the episode was great.What I meant was someone took exception to it.

11/12. Damn!
I confess right now to guessing on about half of them. Plus I recognized a couple that were said by either James or Richard.

I got them all right. Not sure whether to be pleased about that or to check myself into some kind of rehab...

There's an article in the Daily Star saying the show was racist. Any complaints should go right to the BBC. There was an Indian student murdered and it was in poor taste to show the program.Most of the blame of course is on Jeremy.

Oh ffs, when will this idiocy end? They really are out to get him, aren't they? The massive onslaught of eight - read it - eight complaints.
I despair of certain aspects of the UK, I really do.

I'm still baffled by people who complain that Top Gear doesn't help them choose the right car. You've apparently seen the program; they don't really do that anymore. I've not had the opportunity to see the old version of Top Gear, but I understand that it was more that type of program. Reviewing cars, giving likes and dislikes, etc. The new version simply isn't like that. How long will it take for people to understand this?  I think that 29% of British men have it right though. Who among the British male population wouldn't want the chance to be a Top Gear presenter?? ;D ;D I was sorting through some old videos the other day and stumbled across the last 10 mins of old style Top Gear. This is because it was on Thursday nights BBC2 just before Red Dwarf... Yes, I know... sad I remember that. Anyhow, it was fairly old style with Quentin Wilson and Jeremy Clarkson with what can only be described as "an afro" on his head. Basically, Jeremy just ranted on how wonderful the car was and then in the last line said it was a load of crap. That was about it each week. Still good though. You should "You Tube" it. I prefer it now. Mainly because it's more like a comedy. I really wanted to see the live show last year, but the good old job industry had me paid off so couldn't afford it. I will definitely be there next time. I went to the art show at Middlesbrough. I was so excited, but never saw them there. They had buggered off to the match. Wasn't amused. Saying that, I don't think the streets of Middlesbrough could have coped with my libido. |

I googled James and got his basic bio hit but when I googled Jeremy or Richard I got all the newspapers articles about the India trip.

I thought I saw a headline on a tabloid about TG being racist on the India special and was bemused as was MOH. I think some journos have their nails out and any excuse at all will lead to TG and Jeremy bashing. It's all getting rather pathetic and is a sad reflection on the British tabloid press. I will now do the Guardian quiz and report back on my result!

I think the Daily Star carried a 'racial slur outrage' story as its front page story, big red headlines - I glanced at it on a supermarket newsstand and walked on quickly, feeling slightly sick. I despair of the tabloid press in this country (on many levels), I really do.

Last year certainly wasn't one of Jezza's best so I hope this one will be kinder.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that Her Majesty's Gutter Press cease the Clarkson witch hunt.

7 out of 12.... pathetic. I love Clarkson though. People who take his comments seriously must be the most boring of old boring farts ever to roam the Earth. Could you even be bothered to complain to the BBC? How do you complain to the BBC? BTW, have you all tried James's pub quiz on facebook? I'm rubbish at that too www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=152367691467153 |

I've been meaning to ask this question: Do the BBC view all programs before they are televised for censorship, etc? They do here since c*ck is even bleeped out on TG.

Yep, there are strict editorial standards, and the BBC's output is compliance checked where there might be cause for concern. Given the year Top Gear in general, and Jeremy in particular, have had, you can bet things are being compliance checked pretty closely at the moment... |

Interesting that the BBC let all of the sado-masochistic stuff through in "Sherlock" last night, not long after 8pm and therefore well before the 9pm watershed.......

You can almost feel the hate from Jeremy as far as the Daily Mail is concerned.
James' hair seems to have fully grown out. Everybody looked washed out, cloudy I guess.
