Jeremy Clarkson: The Biography

By Gwen Russell

Book Overview

Host of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson has an extensive following proven not only by the viewer figures of his BBC2 show but by the sales of The World According to Clarkson and And Another Thing--a compilation of his Sunday Times columns. This is the only biography of Jeremy Russell on the market. Love him or loathe him, you cannot ignore him Motoring aficionado, comic writer, TV presenter, engineering buff, journalist, author, and unapologetic bon viveur, Jeremy Clarkson is one of Britain's most controversial personalities, and in this riveting and entertaining biography, frank views and hilariously candid anecdotes appear alongside the life story of the self-confessed Eurosceptic, chain-smoking petrol head. After a stint as a traveling salesman, Clarkson set up his own press agency, and soon found fame and fortune with BBC's Top Gear. Notoriously his in the face with a banana meringue pie the day he received his honorary degree, he has been accused of calling cyclists "muesli freaks" and BMW employees "Nazis." From causing huge disruption, to defending the rights of drivers, to fisticuffs with Piers Morgan, this is the true story of a colorful life lived at breakneck speed.
