So first ross and brand, now clarkson...
Jeremy Clarkson has sparked fresh BBC controversy by joking about murdering prostitutes. Skip related content
The Top Gear presenter, 48, made the quip about lorry drivers killing sex workers on Sunday night's BBC Two show.
As he completed a lorry-driving task, he said: "This is a hard job and I'm not just saying that to win favour with lorry drivers, it's a hard job. Change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That's a lot of effort in a day."
His comments come after serial killer Steve Wright was convicted in February of murdering five prostitutes in Ipswich.
Wright was a former lorry driver, as well as pub landlord and forklift truck driver.
Clarkson's joke, made before the watershed, sparked 188 complaints to the BBC, out of what the Corporation said was seven million viewers.

Clarkson's a fanny, but you can't argue with that statement.

Clarkson will be fine in the long run, Dave are making their own programs now.
- Ah right. Yeah I can't see Clarkson getting into trouble about it with the Beeb.theicepodcast
- Llyod0
this passes as controversy?
- Yeah wellI know so did Brand and Ross, people don't know what they can and cannot sya anymore.theicepodcast
- airey0
it's gold people. gold. get a sense of humour ya jizz-moppers.
- kalkal0
Fantastic. Give it another 3 months and there won't be anyone working for the BBC as everyone will have offended someone somehow within that time.

Truck drivers are such sensitive souls.

what's not funny about killing hookers? it's comedy gold. gold. gold. the only person here that'll get a little uppity is ukit for the obvious reason his mum works the corners.
- SkyPoo0
hahaha, so strange, I thought that joke might be the cause of more Beeb related strife on Sunday when I watched the show.
Thing is though its an old gag of his. He's said it before on TG and nobody batted an eyelid, and he's even used it in his Sunday Times column without causing any greif, so any attempt to chastise him now would be a knee jerk reaction caused by over-sensitivity at the Beeb.

It's Just Clarkson being himself...It would have passed relatively un noticed if it wasn't from Bwand-gate.
He is an annoying public school fool though...mildly funny but a still a twat
- issues anyone? issues?airey

Well it's all over the news, so we'll slow see the number of complaints build up and possibly by the end of the week BBC will be doing the coverage also.
- That depends if the mail taste police deem it worthy of a campaign - but i imagine they quite like ClarksonWolfboy
- Ah that's a point, true.theicepodcast
- doesnt he write for them?kezza_2
- nope, he's all News International, The Sun and Sunday Times.Wolfboy
- emecks0
COCK.

what a joke, nothing like the same

Bear in mind this is only important becasue of the recent events with Ross and Brand.
Clarkson, during the show which required them to traverse central london by boat, tube, car and bike, remarked that the person travelling by tube should be OK as long as they 'don't look a brazilian electrician'.....there wasn't a complaint then.

do people really have nothing better to do.
i hope something REALLY offensive happens on the BBC that puts this stuff in to perspective. Like a Blue Peter presenter losing it on a live christmas special and saying cunt or something... now that would be amusing.
