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.
That "a bit of" is too nice. Much too nice. Really.
I mean, that's his appeal in Top Gear, isn't it? Chief arsehole of the three nincompoops.
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.

Alan Partridge is a perfect alter-ego for Clarkson! Well done. It seems so obvious now.
