I have to go on YouTube and play Jessica first:
I read this, agree with it completely.

It amazes me (or maybe not…) How many people on the web have completely misunderstood the joke.
Apparently we have simply forgiven Jeremy Clarkson for his assault on a production assistant?
Richard Hammond is not even a real hamster.
It’s a shame to see Clarkson promoted on BB, isn’t it?
Last time I saw them, years and years ago, they were jingoistic far right trolls. Has this changed? I doubt it as it plays to the base but I found them unwatchable. I admit finding it funny a long time ago but as they got more confident in their racism and little English suprematism I found them gag inducing.
I do admit to really enjoying their original show but learning what kind of asshole Clarkson is I really have no interest in checking out this show. Plus I heard it just wasn’t any good
Was also going to link to this, having just read it. The author nailed it.
Clarkson always was a trolley, the kind that takes pleasure in it. I don’t know about the other two, I know May has made some other bbc shows that I didn’t hate.
Yeah, I don’t know why BB’s audience would be into an unfunny, racist, violent, right-wing reality TV “star”.
I used to be able to write their antics off as an act - a bit like Al Murray’s Pub Landlord - but it turns out that they’re sharing their true opinions.
