I am surprised to find that I am enjoying this short run of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? with Jeremy in charge. His sense of humour fits well, often directed at his own lack of knowledge as 'ask the host' is a new extra lifeline category.
Anyone else watching, and what do you think?

I have put on here that I gave up on Jezza after 10 minutes of watching but having read the comments on here I gave the programme another go and enjoyed it. I think he had calmed himself down and settled into the role - so a new series of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" please with Mr Clarkson!! Thank you grin

I really like him, love his dry wit and caustic sense of humour, plus his political incorrectness. He was perfect as host for Millionaire, so I hope they bring it back with him in the chair. But please vet the contestants to ensure they have a better general knowledge than the ones we had this time!

I really enjoyed it and watched every episode this week. Like a previous poster the only reason we signed up for Amazon tv was to watch The Grand Tour and loved it. (Could not stand Chris Evans on Top Gear). Would like to see a new series of Millionaire with Clarkson.

I think it is a good choice having Clarkson and I shall continue to watch .

I never disliked him on Top Gear to be honest but I share the same type of tongue in cheek humour and never found him upsetting in the first place. That's not to say I agree with all he says or does as he is a mere human being.

Clarkson made a really good t.v programme a while back called ' The Victoria Cross: For Valour ' and it is well worth a watch if it is on 'Catch Up ' or repeated .

His programme on the Arctic convoys was fascinating too.
