Jeremy Clarkson: Just been for a walk round the farm and I’m a bit alarmed by how few butterflies there are.

Something is afoot.

Danny Wallace: Diesel-smelling Top Gear host who threatened climate protestors misses butterflies.

    I quite enjoyed Top Gear. However. I have since found Clarkson to be just another rich old right winger that doesn’t care what he says. He’s a bit of an asshole.

      He’s a bit of an asshole.

      You couldn’t tell that from the show itself? Just don’t keep food away from him.

        Some people can play assholes for a show but are decent IRL. Clarkson appears to be an asshole who reined it in a little for the show.

      I’m more of a James May fan but they are all hilarious and Top Gear/Grand Tour is top-tier entertainment.

        Was it wrong that he punched his producer for not getting him a hot meal and called him a “lazy Irish cunt”? Possibly, but his series about a farm is doing very well.
