Glad somebody else knows this.

Yeah, but it's a terrible thing to behold..

@@simonvanderheijden432Then Why’d you say yeah?

Imagine her and Miles on together?😊

It's so dreadful, like somebody trying to start a mk2 Ford Cortina, She has zero talent.

id love to know how many beta blockers they had to feed paul to get through that show without a stroke

Totally. A billion times. I think some catholic organisations grew him in a test tube.

He had better things to do 😉

Ross noble is the funniest guest to be on this show , everytime hes on i am sore laughing ... "postman pat is opening our mail" ha 43:57

Egomania - nothing else.

Technically he was never sacked, he simply didn't have his contract renewed.

@@exessex3522 And money

This show is made by Hat Trick nothing to do with the BBC they just provided the studio & channel its broadcast on

@@DeanMoxley87 it's everything to do with the BBC. They commission the programme and have final say on what airs. If the BBC didn't want Clarkson guest hosting then he definitely wouldn't be on there.

His humour and way of thinking are just so whacky, I adore him.

Very informative, thanks!

That's not correct at all and hopefully I've just missed the joke. The Turkish pilot was saying "on guard", which means "call me on the guard channel". The guard channel is set aside for aviation emergencies and the like. Source: I used to be an air traffic controller.

Yes!

What's that guys name again? The one Jeremy SHOULD HAVE PUNCHED

@@kettle_of_chris Richard Osman? He was asking for it that day!!

@@annother3350 YES! Thank you! I know Clarkson can be...well, you know; Clarkson, when it comes to the environment, politics and so on, but he is a very funny - extremely witty person who is fun to watch and I for one, really like him! I don't see why people cannot see past the political framework with which they view the world and simply enjoy someone whose genuinely funny. So to attack him like that was very undignified, and quite sophomoric. One final point: In the U.S. the "Left" has a lot to learn about consumable imagery. Someone like Osman, should be on a list of people (Entertainers) who DO NOT go on political humor attacks like what we witnessed here because - physically - he looks like the image of what Right Wing people associate with the Left. "Ivory Tower Elitist" is a phrase that's thrown around a lot among people on the right. The Left has to learn to put attractive and neutral faces forward because as juvenile as it sounds; it works. This is one of the key ingredients in the formula that made Fox News so successful. Just so you know, I vote Labor. The U.S. Equivalent.

@@kettle_of_chris Well, I dont know if I agree with you entirely or maybe I'd word it differently -- I suppose what you're getting at is that Jeremy has been an 'easy' target or rich pickings to mock for a number of years as he is the epitomy of the 'old school bloke' who likes fast cars and fast women and is definitely NOT politically correct. I think I'm like you -- I can take his misogyny as what it is -- a joke -- and you can tell he is a nice guy with good intentions

@@annother3350 I like what you wrote and as a result, I agree with it. Furthermore I assume you're in the UK and since I consider you and your fellow citizens to be the custodians of the English language, I am additionally content with what you wrote. I remember one episode (of HIGNFY) where Clarkson threw that pen at Ian - you could tell he genuinely felt bad about it so like you said, a nice guy w/good intentions. I particularly enjoyed "CLARKSON". I only got to see a 1 hour 'best of' on UKposts. It was hysterically funny in spite of it being shamelessly Tory it was nevertheless very Entertaining.

are those words??

@@TheEvilCheesecake HIGGY= Have i got news for you Thx= thanks XL= extra large (a lot) Str1tsa= is the channel creator.

But he's terrible at it ......

Osman is a lanky streak of piss.

@@AICabal and Clarkson is a tramp's colostomy bag that has been fermenting in a skip filled with shit so they do have some command ground.

I liked it the first couple of times, but the repeated attempts got weaker and weaker. That's not a dig at Osman, Hislop overdoes it at times too. I prefer how Merton does it - if he thinks of something funny he says it, but if he doesn't he keeps out of it. Also, I thought Clarkson took it rather well. Sometimes people get bent out of shape - usually politicians - but they need to learn to laugh and carry on. One of the reasons Boris Johnson achieved some popularity on HIGNIFY was that he *mostly* took the abuse and laughed it off.

Obviously I meant "common" ground there.

Clarkson - intelligent. Osman - genius. And bigger.

@@ripdbtpoo1441 Clarkson intelligent? OK, mate 🤣

Yes and no. 😂 I remember that as well

He skirts around it without admitting anything. There is actually two episodes I can remember where he talks about his association with clubs at schools.

24:19 Ian says "I know who won the Nobel prize for economics". What reference were you talking about?

The Nobel Prize for Economics was won by a Scottish fella called Angus Deaton that week lol

@@poolyboy81 😂 Thank you. My eyes fooled me initially into seeing a "y" in Deaton when there wasn't one. I couldn't therefore see the link. After you posted your response, I noticed my error. Much obliged 👍

I don't know what Osman does on British Television - like what shows he's on - but Clarkson is a world famous celebrity. Translation: People love him. Top Gear as BBC's highest grossing show according to 60 Minutes. Additionally they stated that TopGear brought in 350 million viewers world wide. That viewership brought in a huge amount of revenue streaming into the BBC that enabled them to underwrite a lot of projects they may not have had the money for otherwise. Osman may be talented - I wouldn't know - but what I do know is that his name does not ring out like Clarkson so he should have known better.

@@kettle_of_chris He doesn't need to be a world celebrity to be witty. Osman is great at what he does and had every right to rib Clarkson, and Clarkson as a professional should be able to take it, which he does.

@@kettle_of_chris You do understand what the word 'satire' means, don't you?

@@lidbass (sighs) oh for fucks-sake! There's Satire, and then there's being verbally abusive. Clearly Osman has skills in the Satire department as demonstrated on plenty of other shows in which he was a guest, or even better still; as host. The exchange between Clarkson and Osman that included Osman's remark that Clarkson's new show was [to be aired] on "Amazon Past-Their-Prime". Okay YES that was funny and YES it was satire. I didn't think I had to clarify or acknowledge that first before making the point that Osman is not famous like Clarkson. He may be popular in the UK and I am not saying he's a bad guy, or lacking in talent, it's just that he's (at best) a C LIST guy attacking an A LIST guy. Yes I said; Attacking because while what he said was funny, it was mean. And you would have to be blind, or irretrievably stupid not to see that Osman's tone and demeanor while he made that statement clearly demonstrated a pe-existing dislike for Clarkson. Whether it's motivated by Clarkson's politics, I wouldn't know and I don't care. People around the world love Clarkson. Myself included. In the mid 2000's something like 300 million people tuned into to TopGear. Clarkson is mobbed by fans (like Hammond and May) wherever he goes and this guy (Osman) thinks he's got the CV to attack Clarkson like that? I don't think so. Osman didn't score any points with that remark. Maybe he didn't lose any either. Anyway who cares.

@@kettle_of_chris Ah, so you DON'T understand what satire is. Osman is perfectly right to make fun of Clarkson, since satire is laughing up, not down. Are you really suggesting that Osman should have kept quiet just because a number of people find Clarkson funny? Or because he earns more money than him? Right, so none of us can ever have a laugh at Elon Musk ever again. Got you. In case you didn't know, Osman was a hugely recognised producer and creator of some very popular programmes for the BBC, and only stepped out into presenting because they couldn't find someone to do a pilot, he did it and turned out to be very good. So, while I won't pretend that he has made as much money for the BBC (since that seems to be your yardstick) he certainly has created more programmes with more varied content than Clarkson. And is therefore in a position to criticise him. I would also point out that Clarkson was perfectly capable of coming back to Osman - which he did - and also came on the show at a moment when he knew he was going to get ripped to shreds by all the panel. Which he did. He was actually quite brave to do so, and you should be concentrating on that, not on a few witty barbs thrown out by a panel member. Whether Osman likes Clarkson or not is beside the point. His job there and then was to take the mickey out of Clarkson, which he did to great effect apparently since it's managed to piss you off so much. If you want some better examples of preconceived dislike, check out the episode when Johnson presents and see how they have a go at him, or any of the episodes where Farage appears (while I dislike him utterly I have to say that he does take the jokes against him in good spirit) or the wonderful moment when Hislop has a go at Johnny Mercer (which is not even funny!), or even worse when the whole lot of them spend thirty minutes ripping Angus Deayton . Then compare those to the relatively light treatment that Clarkson got. If you are simply saying that Osman went to far, well I would even agree with you. It would have been much more effective had he just got out a couple of gags and then moved on. But there you go. It was the heat of the moment, and it's easy with hindsight. But if you are really trying to say that Osman shouldn't say anything because Clarkson earns more money than you, well I can only reply that you must be an American. With, of course, a grin on my face, because that is satire. Have a good day, y'all.

Round my area, we have a lot of what we call plastic jocks, in a town called Corby.

Nothing wooden about her. She’s a damn Tory.

You're right, so it is. I put this video together back in 2016 so I can't remember why it's not there. I think I simply just forgot the episode and have never noticed it. So yeah, there is going to be an extra video with clips from that episode that I'll uplaod in the upcoming days. Thank you for telling me :)

str1tsa You leg end

Ian Hislop? He is on every single episode, along with Paul Merton. When you said 'wee guy' I thought you must have bee talking about Andy Hamilton.

En Garde also exists though....

@@seanmegan1278It does, in the context of fencing. I'm pretty sure they weren't fencing xD

Many twat politicians have been on HIGNFY.

He got a decent roasting

RO is many times richer than JC. that's why JC didn't rile up

@@RIXRADvidz are you sure?

@@RIXRADvidz Clarkson's net worth is about 50-60 mill and earns about 20 mill a year, Osman's net worth is about 2 mill so I dunno how you figured that out XD

Absolutely no one is safe and i’m here for it.

@@dan-el6015that is so rude, it is a perfectly clear statement.

S'alright, I think she's Katherine Ryan.

The problem with the tampon, or anything related to menstruation, is that most of the men in parliament are rather reluctant to discuss it. I swear you can almost hear some of them desperately wishing to themselves that they were back in The Good Old Days - when we got locked in a hut outside the village for a week. How are we supposed to get anything done when they literally struggle with the words?

You mean, it went whoosh straight over my head.

Oh dear, really? That's his best?
