Anybody watch Jeremy Clarkson on '' The One Show ''

last night.
As soon as he said it, I thought there's going to be lots of complaints but, you could see was joking and It was quite funny in a way.
Problem is, it wouldn't be nice to the people who have lost loved ones on the railway tracks.

^ There he is.....angry :0)
The BBC should have realised that if you put Clarkson on Primetime Live TV at 7.00pm before the watershed, he is not gonna come out with comments like Tony Blackburn would.
He is always contoversial.... love him or hate him, and even though i dont agree with what he said and how he said it.....he was joking. But offence was taken and for those who have sadly lost loved ones in train accidents, can see why too.
Two sides of the coin. Are the BBC to blame and should have told him before they went Live on air to keep comments down to "family viewing"?

I think the issue needs to be balanced.
Jeremy Clarkson is known and encouraged for his outragious views, and his unflinching habit of expressing them - which is fine but,
he is using a publicly funded broadcaster in the early evening to make his views known, when at least some of his audience may entirely miss the skyscraper of hyperbole he likes to build when he opens his mouth.
I find Clarkson an aquired taste, not especially worth aquiring, and i appreciate that his comments were (hopefully!) ironic - although probably not, but that does not excuse the effect of his words.
It is not sufficient to simply say "I was joking ..." and therefore you have no right to be offended - that simply doesn't fly. An extreme example of that as an argument is to say, after running over a complete stranger, that he shouldn;t be bleeding all over the road, because you meant him no harm - it simply doesn;t work like that.
Adults on television have a responsibility to their audiences, and that is not elminated by the desire to indulge in 'plain speaking', or being 'a bit edgy', and then whooping with outrage when not everyone appreciates the view, or the way it is expressed.

There must be thousands of people in this country all waiting to be offended and Mr Clarkson has obliged them. When you think of the things going on in the world today about which we should be offended this is farcical. They need to get over themselves for crying out loud.
And the BBC knows exactly what it is getting with JC. And I would be furious if anybody apologised for me.

The programme producers SHOULD have the sense to know what they are getting with JC. It's the same as inviting Shaun Ryder and Ozzy Osbourne on to Loose Women and expecting them not to swear. Hmmm now that WOULD make interesting viewing! BTW I can't stand JC but I wouldn't complain about what he said.
