Love him or Loathe him, I have to give credit to Jeremy Clarkson slamming the BBC salary on Naga Munchetty but how many more so called BBC superstars are paid obscene salaries

[oldypigeonpopper]

Hello, as above, any thoughts PW , the BBC scrapped free TV licences so maybe the should scrap paying millions of £s to their golden people, But I seem to remember he was paid ££££ssssss for Top gear ????

Was reading something yesterday  , dont know how true it is  . But talking of scrapping the license  fee , and taxing everyone around  £150 a year , even those that don't have a TV.  See if I can find the link .

We have started using Morrisons home delivery  . My nearest  town is 14 miles away . The wife got token thing for a fiver . So many deliveries  a month . It would cost me that to go to town and back once . She has had 3 deliveries  this month so a good saving on fuel in the car .

It needs far more than that - it needs major surgery.

Clarkson got millions because he owned most of the top gear business.

Which he had built up and developed and then sold to the BBC as a going concern!

[Agriv8]

I believe Clarkson and exe wife also owned lions share of production company that did a lot of background work they also owned top gear brand for books and spin offs and merchandise!    He knew the only way to get out of bbc and move to Amazon was gross miss conduct that’s why he had to hit someone! he’s a businessman who has lived off his tv face of being an idiot and disliked in top gear !

 I Believe he’s gone on record about his shooting on the farm but they won’t entertain it going into Clarksons farm TV due to the backlash it would create. the end of the day I belive he has done more for farming & the country side  in one year than the bbc have done in 20.

I have never met anyone who’s shot with him buT I believe what you saw on top gear is not the real Clarkson ( I know this because a family associate wrote his lines ) I recon heed be good member of the shooting party!

I would love to shoot with Clarkson as one of the party. The day would be a real hoot.

As an aside - James May has a new Amazon program out - "Our Man in Italy" and the opening sequence shows him using a DT11 to shoot a Japanese cat thing....

I am wondering if he will be visiting the factory in the journey?

I did meet someone who had shot with him (both guests on the same shoot I think) once; he thought him 'good company for the day' but wouldn't want every shoot with him was I think the conclusion.

We visited lake Garda last year only a stone throw away from one of the factories - Mrs Agriv8 did not think this was an acceptable day out Out for the family!

I will look the James may on Amazon as I quite enjoy watching him while catching up on my ironing !

Yes … he does … well worth a watch.

The whole series is cracking, and the Beretta stuff will have you drooling.
