New short, week long series starts tonight... Who'll be watching...? I will...
Mainly because I like Jeremy Clarkson... But I used to love the format of WWTBAM when it first started... 20 years ago, blimey...!
The old one, or Classic as they call it on Challenge... Is crap now and not worth watching... Plus I can't stand Chris Tarrant... The condescending unfunny prick...
They have introduced an extra life line for this one... Ask The Host... So we'll see what JC's general knowledge is like then... Is he really clever as he comes across or is it all scripted for him... And in reality is he thick as pig shit...
Yes... Looking forward to it...

Clarkson went to boarding school near where we live in Repton and he described our town as the ashtray of the Midlands. Apart from that he is Marmite, love him or hate him, I am neither. Just think it is a mistake to bring it back. Won't be watching. Our TV execs have the imgaination of a knat. I have never known British TV to be so bad.

Yeah he called Media City something similar... About it being nothing but a hotel and a Costa... This was when Top Gear was considering moving to Salford... He said he would rather resign than re-locate to a wasteland...
It's ironic that in his newspaper column last week... He said he'd spent lots of time up in Manchester filming... Probably for the Promos for WWTBAM... I'm not sue if the whole thing has been filmed at MCUK though...
But I do like his presenting on TG and on The Grand Tour... So I have to let it pass...

I'm the same Wallis, i didn't mind Tarrant on Tiswas, but when he did grown up TV i could not take to him, it was the same with Philip Schofield, he was brilliant in the broom cupboard and doing Going Live with Sarah Greene, but after that i could not watch him without wanting to kick the TV.

Pip Schofield is soiled goods like Tarrant is. So is Smillie although she never did kids TV.
Wonder if Clarkson would have got backlash if he said Glasgow is the ashtray of the UK. Is Glasgow as bad as people say? Dover in Kent is slated but I have been there and it is not as bad as it is painted.

I've spent quite a lot of time there over the years and like most large industrial cities is has moved with the times. The people are genuinely funny and welcoming. Get in a black cab in Edinburgh and the driver will usually not speak to you. Get in one in Glasgow and the driver will just about tell you his whole life story dotted with jokes. It also has a huge number of fantastic restaurants.

Shows that people over exaggerate things due to a few bad areas. I have been to Manchester and it is a thriving place and quite clean. If I was offered a trip to visit either Glasgow or Edinburgh I'd pick Glasgow.

Clarkson away from the car can actually be quite competent. He did this talk show between versions of Top Gear and it was very funny.

Dover is still okay, i have relatives on my dads side who live in Dover and my great Uncle used to be the light house keeper.

Acting like a twat at certain situations yet acting as good as gold in others is worse than being an outright twat.

I enjoyed it... The contestants were thick as pig shit... But it was entertaining...

The contestants were embarrassing. I found JC rude too. It can be very scary appearing on Telly however. Much preferred Chris Tarrant and I still watch it on Challenge channel.
