Was that the bit about why they stopped the train because somebody had
thrown himself in front of it?

Something like that.

What as he said now?
(Hope he upset the PC lot again.)

Very well! Personally, I agreed with him, but that's just my view.

Thanks for the info., as I can't get the program up on the i-player.

Seems he might not get away with this one.
Regards
David

He already has.

I watched the program but can't remember anything sensational at the
end. It was "what's his name" saying the BBC don't agree with My
Clarkson.

He said two things, neither of which were funny but both of which were
in poor taste, in my opinion:

- trains should carry on and not stop when people commit suicide by
jumping in front of them (the presenters actually apologised for
this), and
- public service strikers should be shot, in front of their families

So what do I think? These are probably not his genuine opinions, but
he is an idiot who is only funny when he is reading a well-written
script.

Yes but it just shows an extract, not the bit at the end which
apparently was worse. That's what we want to see, and that's what

I bet it's on YouTube. (I haven't looked).

But we shouldn't have to use YouTube to get around BBC censorship.
(though it would hardly be the first time!!!).

Cheers,
David.

Interesting that there are no comments in the meeja about the studio staff
laughing at his comments ?

Surely nobody takes Clarkson seriously, do they? He has made a career
of saying outrageous things. And I don't believe for a minute that he
really would advocate shooting strikers.

Personally I don't care what he thinks, or what he says. Why on earth
should I? Why does anybody else?

What really ****es me off is the current fashion of deliberately taking
offence wherever possible, and then banging on about how awful it is.

FFS!

Because he is a zeleb and the public have been taught by the media
to live off every word uttered by zelebs, because that is much more
entertaining, more interesting, and of course more important than say
Greek sovereign debt or endemic corruption in the Italian administration
of Berlusconi, or closing down the Bombardier factory in Derby.

And this newsgroup is certainly doing its part in promoting the
presence of Clarkson in people's minds.

Naturally, this is just the type of "zelebnews" upon which celebrity
based web sites such as Digital$py thrive.

Maybe the original poster was trying to bring this technical news
group down to the same standard?


No, far from it. I read and occasionally subscribe to this group, so it
is up there on my screen, I did not know of a more suitable group,
and since it was the big news on the BBC this morning, I wondered what
other folks thought about it, as the reaction to it seemed to me to be
way overboard. Nothing more. No intention of bringing the lofty
technical tone of the group down.
Plenty of other posters added to the discussion, so it obviously
sparked an interest. I see several other threads that have nothing to
do with digital TVs, as well, such as falling meteorites, and PV
locations, whereas my post was at least to do with something seen on
digital-TV.

This is exactly the type of provocative news item which they love to
endlessly discuss ad nauseum in that newsgroup.

The people with expert opinions on such matters as these are
to be found in

uk.media.tv.misc

A quick check in the newsgroup

uk.media.tv.misc

reveals that there are already 33 articles posted under the topic

"LOL Clarkson says Strikers should be shot!"

as the reaction to it seemed to me to be way overboard.

As has the reaction in this newsgroup

No intention of bringing the lofty technical tone of the group down.

It does not take much to do that though

whereas my post was at least to do with something seen on digital-TV.

Yes, so could the item be better appreciated on BBC One HD than on BBC One?

On BBC One HD could you see the wrinkles on Clarkson's face?
