Why do people tune in to Top Gear? For an in-depth review of the latest family economy runabout?

No. Most of us tune in on a Sunday evening to watch three grown men cocking around for an hour like children in a toy shop. We love their silly and often dangerous behaviour and of course the nonsense they spout.

But it seems that some people tune in especially to be offended. I can think of no other reasons why 200 people have complained about a Clarkson joke from Sunday's episode.

What did they think they would get while watching Clarkson?

Unlike the talent vacuum Russell Brand, Clarkson did not invade the privacy of an elderly man. He just made a joke on a show that people tuned in to watch.
