Just like the Brand/Ross carry on it seems that people who dislike certain tv celebs are just sitting waiting on them putting their foot in it to fire off a complaint in the hope they’ll get the boot. It’s a very sad state off affairs to be in. I’m only 33 but I remember when humour on the tv was alot worse, more offensive and dare I say it maybe even racial but it was the way the Great British people were. The country has gone mad, PC is totally out off control, you cant laugh about anything these days and if OFCOM got off their arses and come on this forum they’ll see apart from a handful of saddo’s that the Great British trucker coudn’t give a monkeys 
Great viewing, great Stig, great Clarkson and great Top Gear 
If I start moaning about something funny SHOOT ME
i personnally thought it was an hilarious episode…as for the " sunburn " arm on the Trucker Stig…classic
By the way , Mr Stobarts is quoted in the Sun as saying " this country needs to get its sense of humour back "…or something to that effect
i’ve not seen the clip yet but i’m guessing the many families who lost daughters,wifes, friends to the yorkshire ripper have every right to be offended by clarksons comments.
My mum actually grassed on my dad because she thought it was him! In reality though he did work for the same company.
I know top gear is a light hearted tv show and i do like clarkson but making comments like that is just a cheap publicity stunt and shouldn’t have been allowed.

its not a cheap publicity stunt dont you know how popular top gear is 8millions viewers on sunday and they are going on a world tour with top gear live. It was just a JOKE!!! you are meant to laugh at them, but in our day in age I think you are meant to complain about them.

That was a fancastic bit - I loved it when Richard Hammond said - "Look its Rig Stig" I was off my chair when I heard that. Its a good job I saved it on the digi box - a brilliant show this was!.

Great Tele and very funny,can’t decide wether I like Clarkson or not,bit of a big headed twerp at times but thats perhaps why people watch him,cant see this prog giving anybody that doesn’t know anything about “REAL” trucking any wrong ideas,it was a light hearted look at trucking,how could anyone view it any differently,having said that I’m sure a few posters on here will go ballistic when they see it. (You know who you are !)
As for the RHA reaction !! they have watched the transport industry almost sink without trace in recent years without a word of support, let alone actually doing anything ,surely a bit late to come to life now?.
After being in transport most of my life I’m glad I’m sitting at home now retired and out of it.
I spend a lot of time now on old photo forum and old time lorries forums away from PC experts and whingers,where you can look at and talk about TRUCKS,Ihope they don’t read this and follow.

And me 
I thought the Ipswich murderer was a fork lift truck driver ■■?
Thanks Jeremy - normally you are funny but as David Cameron has said - BBC stars are overpaid.
Sack Clarkson and …
bring in some fresh meat like Vicky Butler-Henderson or somebody off the street who hasn’t got a job and wants to drive fast -
go on BBC - get someone with natural talent and who hasn’t got foot and mouth.
All lorry drivers should converge on Clarkson’s house in protest at 2am
Well, one negative voice out of about thirty positive suggests those complaining on our behalf are just self-serving gimps.
I see Roger King, RHA king-pin has stuck his oar in on our behalf. Who woke him up?
Complaining to the BBC clearly more important than saving British drivers’ livelihoods.

Why I find him funny, If he does say something I dont like it goes in one ear and out the other. Also you aint gonna find many drivers to take part in your protest, alot might just come and laugh at how sad you are oh and if you wanna see VBH she is on fifth gear.
steve wright the ipswich killer was a steward on the QE2, a lorry driver, a barman, and just prior to his arrest, a fork-lift truck driver
