188 complaints about top gear!

A bit tasteless. Typical Clarkson. Personally I cannot stand the man, but I honestly believe his macho sexism is exaggerated.

This is a poor taste joke, and cannot be compared the the phone message fiasco.

I think Clarkson's "joke" is in very poor taste. Much worse than the Ross / Brand incident. Joking about murder is going too far IMO. Can't stand Clarkson.

It is? But he never left any answer machine messages. (And that, to be frank is the only reason there was ever any issue with the whole story.) If the whole fiasco with Jonathan and Russell wasn't going on, this would never have got picked on by the press!

Anyone who knows Jeremy Clarksons sense of humour would not complain nor would they watch/listen!

Everyone who seems to be complaining these days, are people that have heard about these things on the news and are basing their complaints on the media reports etc - go get a life ffs.

Personally, I find Jeremy Clarkson hilarious - poor taste on occasions, but he wasn't lying was he?! Nor was Russell Brand or Jonathan Ross when they said that RB had slept with the grand daughter who is now making an absolute mint out of the situation and calling for their reinstatement etc.

Enough already - if you don't like, don't watch or listen!

i watched top gear and found it really funny but im still glad there are people who will complain if they find something offensive. the boundaries are being pushed further and further all the time and i hope by people complaining about, for example, russell brand that it just helps peg back the standards a bit.

Did anyone else notice that Jeremy wasn't wearing a seat belt when he was driving the truck?

Jeremy Clarkson has watered down his apology to Gordon Brown, maintaining that the PM is "an idiot".

The Top Gear presenter branded Brown a "one-eyed Scottish idiot" while talking to Australian journalists about the global economic crisis. He later apologised in a statement, which read: "In the heat of the moment I made a remark about the Prime Minister's personal appearance for which, upon reflection, I apologise."

Clarkson has now told The Sun that he specifically apologised for making fun of the politician's appearance.

"I have nothing against the Scottish and of course I regret making any remark that might have upset the disabled. But the idiot bit - there is no chance I'll apologise for that," he said.
