Jeremy Clarkson hosting 'Millionaire'.

I have to agree. It's almost embarrassing at times.

We watched it last night, we didn't see Monday or Tuesday's episodes. I quiet enjoyed Jeremy as host, I've never liked watching him before.
I agree this group of contestants have very little general knowledge. We shared Jeremy's frustration that nobody could keep more than £1000.

i wasn't interested in watching this - in fact we both said no thanks when it was advertised but as the week's gone on we've both ended up watching it. Hard to believe no one has got past the £1000 so far!

I thought one man got up to £32,000. I remember because I got all those answers and the next one which he didn't answer: just took the money.

Yes, one chap did. The calibre of questions is higher in the 2 quiz teams that I play in.

I meant to add, we don't have any lifelines and you can often be on your own when there is a tie.

I've always enjoyed Top Gear and thought the three presenters a good team. I watched it lots because my sons are 'petrol heads'.

I quite like Clarkson's humour. I find him droll. I don't share some of his views though. I always thought WWTBAM one of the best quiz shows on TV. It's a shame about all the advert breaks and must admit the first five dead easy questions annoy me a bit. Clarkson seems to be hosting it well.

I am surprised to say that Jeremy Clarkson is a good fit. I always regarded him as a bit arrogant and boorish, but he is making a good job of this.

I remember the programme makers explaining way back that they wanted the quiz to appeal to families and had pitched the first few questions to appeal to children. I suppose it must have aired earlier in the day back then.

I like him too. His dry humour is great. I liked him in Top Gear as well. I never used to watch "Millionaire" before as I didn't like Chris Tarrant.

The answers seem to be really easy though - or are the contestants really thick?!

I like him, and particularly in this new Millionaire.

I love the fact that he refuses to adhere to the ridiculous political correctness which seems to infect everyone these days. He has got a brilliant sense of humour - who remembers the Falklands car number plate incident?

I'm sorry tonight is the last episode.

I'm so pleased the last contestant walked away with £64K and that he was my neck of the woods in Liverpool.
I hope they bring the show back with JC comparing it.

I'm a big fan of Jezza and could watch him read the telephone directory. And I think he has been great on
WWTBAM.
I loved Top Gear (still like the new one with Matt Le Blanc) and now love The Grand Tour which is great with the three old petrol heads.
One reason why I like Jeremy so much? Because he rebels against being politically correct. And he's a natural broadcaster with a great voice. Long Live Jeremy.

I did find his comments on the tv adverts amusing . I hope the programme will be brought back with Clarkson as host. Perhaps they will if the viewing figures were good. The one off week could have been arranged to test the viewing figures.

I was shouting 'goat' at the tv and DH said, 'no, it's a deer' in reply to the ibex question.
DH must have gone to the same school as Jezza.

?

I thought deer too but think that's ilex not ibex. Smart question setting!

No Jane, Ilex is Holly, but there is an African antelope called an Oryx, so not too far away from Ibex (which I think is known as a Big Horn in the USA. )
I have to say, that while I haven't been a big fan of Jeremy in the past, I think he's been excellent as the host of WWTBAM, I have a sneaking admiration for his rebelliousness, and the two finger salute to officialdom.
Such a shame that most of the contestants have been so dim, at least the last guy managed to win a goodly sum!

Oryx! Of course. I've even seen them in the wild.
I really felt that Jeremy added something to this show. I don't think I'd have watched it otherwise. Hope he returns to it soon. I think a week of specials is better than a long series.
Long boring summer of boring sport coming up. We could do with the occasional good programme.

I wouldn't have watched it if I hadn't seen this thread - thank you shysal

Oh gosh yes, a long Summer of boring sport. Yikes.

The blasted World Cup seems to go on for EVER doesn't it?

I do love Wimbledon though so will look forward to that.

I know I shouldn't take a dislike to anyone. But I have, and am afraid Jeremy Clarkson is the one. Will not have his face in my living room for any reason whatsoever. Sorry Jeremy.

He's fine I like people that speak their mind

Jeramy Clarkson is the only reason I signed up to Amazon prime so that I could watch the grand tour.
The best top gear episode was the motorbike one in Vietnam.
One of the funniest 'films' you will ever see.
It's on YouTube.

Another one here who wouldn't have given Jeremy Clarkson the time of day but, he's been a bit of a guilty pleasure. I will certainly miss him this week
