Just took an hour out to watch this as I used to enjoy the show.

What a pile of shite! I like Clarkson, yes he's a Tory living the life in Chipping Norton, but I enjoyed his banter on Top Gear and thought his sacking was a bit ott. But his performance here was odious - smug arrogant jibes at contestants who only won a mere £8K, "that won't buy you three seats in your people carrier" etc, and otherwise making the contestants feel as uncomfortable as possible. It didn't work, he's not a game show host and to me the show died on it's arse. It's on all week, I like to try my luck with this but I don't know if I'll bother again.

Anyone else see it?

Edit: Oh and the questions were bloody hard, I'd have struggled to get a grand with some of them.

No, it wasn’t on my list to watch. Might have to have a look now you said it had hard questions to see if I know any answers @lewis.The attitude towards the contestants does not surprise me , the people who have brought it back will have done this on purpose to either make it or break it.

It's just one for a week as a 20th anniversary special. I suppose if it works they may consider bringing it back.

Typically, reviews seem at odds with my thoughts and were favourable towards Clarkson if not the contestants.

I actually think that his sacking from Top Gear was more than justified.
For us mere mortals in proper jobs it would have been instant dismissal, so why not that smug sod as well.
I can't bloody stand him to be honest

Actually though, despite his onstage jolly persona, I bet he's a b*****d of the first order in real life.

Clarkson is less odious tonight on account of the fact that the contestant is ten times worse. He's also doing very well which is annoying.

I got the £16,000 question without using three lifelines. I knew the shape of a "Stop" sign from the Highway Code. kIzY33PIZykhJsgea55N

As Clarkson quipped Berry McPaper-cuts, "No idea, it's down to other drivers to stop."

Apologies for the personal smiley there.

Louise from Sunderland was a lot nicer, she wanted £16K for a new kitchen and bathroom, and a trip to Florida. Clarkson immediately got back to smug mode, "Not much of a kitchen for £16K", but was chuffed for her when she won her desired amount, as was I. I played her as she did and would have won the same. clp2

I was looking forward to this but Clarkson does not fit the role of a proper host at all. What on earth was ITV thinking of by hiring him?

Yes some of the 'easy' questions were hard to begin with.

Why didn't they ask Chris Tarant back? That's what I am wondering.

Shame then.

I'm sure there must be more worth presenters out there that would do a better job than Clarkson.

Some less than brilliant contestants tonight, three people managed a grand. ohno1

Most amusing was the woman on a £2K question, "What country do The Balearic Islands belong to?"

Having used a 50/50 to get Spain/Italy/France/Portugal down to Spain and Italy, she gambled on Italy. :LOL:
