Top Gear
This is a television program that stars Jeremy Clarkson. I mention it in case you are one of the very few people who did not know that. I am at a loss to describe the show from the standpoint of being a critic because I look forward to each episode, even though it really is a very silly show. It’s a show about cars, and Jeremy and his associates do the most outrageous things in them, and with them, and they say the most preposterous things in criticising certain makes of cars, all, it seems with the agreement of the car manufacturers.
The current season aired the last program, and that left the cast very sad. I must confess that I am sad also, not because it was real quality television, but because I liked it even though I am hard put to explain why. However, the one thing about which I am not confused is the fact that my son and I watched the program together, and there are precious few things that a father and his son get to do together these days.
I’m fairly certain that Jeremy Clarkson did not set out to bring fathers and sons together, but it does work, so that’s a good thing. The fact that the last show of the season featured the ultimate petrol-head in the world, Jay Leno, who owns more than 240 cars was a real thrill.
Now, bring on the re-runs.
