The only reason Clarkson is still well liked is because he is funny and charismatic. But over all he is still an arch-conservative Tory jerk.

for sure. I love him as a TV persona, but definitly feel he and I would NOT get along in person.

Part of that is just a lot of funny tv people are mean spirited in their jokes, but may be nicer when not on TV

This is amusing, as while watching Clarkson's Farm, I find myself constantly yelling at the TV that he's being dumb. But seems like every time he is interacting(in person) with someone he doesn't know intimately he is extremely kind and deferential. With the exception being people that are antagonizing him in some way, even if they're not being malicious about it.
