With his bounce off the car roof hairstyle and collection of spare tyres, Jeremy Clarkson was always destined to become the wit, raconteur, and personality that he now is. Sadly, with a little more effort on his part, a career path that avoided hackdom for the Rotherham Advertiser, and a slightly more enlightened approach to women's suffrage, this admittedly sharp TV presenter could have instead been quite respected.
A firm believer in shouting to get a point across, and a devotee of the Cult of Diana, Clarkson is a man who has spent hour after hour in powerful, speedy vehicles, and yet whose career has always seemed to go nowhere. Now the doyen of the sort of straight to video compilations that men only watch when their girlfriends are out, Clarkson recently put his popularity in full reverse by attempting to ape the 'shock twat' tabloid hack on TV approach favoured by Richard Littlejohn.
Clarkson's credibility is already in a toe-to-toe sub-Darwinian tango with Jonathan Aitken's. With TV's current preoccupation with all things lowbrow, however, we do not doubt that his backed over several times in a landrover face will be with us for some time yet.
No wonder he doesn't like the net.
His living obituary follows... :D
