Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson (born April 11, 1960) is a British motoring journalist and television presenter. He is known for his physically imposing presence, and ebulliently robust manner. The television show he is most associated with is called Top Gear. This is a show which puts all cars, present, past and future through their paces. He has an image of not pulling any punches, but acknowledging up-front any and all biases the reporters have.
He also "starred" in a series called (humbly) Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines where he rode all manner machines, including a plane, a submarine and an airboat.
Clarkson, being one of the passenger at the last BA Concorde flight on October 24, 2003, played around Neil Armstrong's famous saying: This is one small step for a man, but one huge leap backwards for mankind.
Lives in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire
