Anything Jeremy Clarkson can do, it seems, Chris Tarrant could do better. Jezza himself admits as much.
There is Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? of course, which returned on Saturday. After a lamentable beginning, Clarkson has found his feet on the show, though he still enters the studio with the opposite of a swagger — a sheepish shuffle, like a bloke sidling into the office on his day off, to collect his hat.
He’s no longer embarrassed that he doesn’t know many of the easier answers, let alone the tough ones.
When George from Reading was asked which city natives took their nickname from a local dish — Geordies, Scousers, Brummies or Cockneys — Clarkson admitted that he thought it was the Londoners.
