Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has given fans a tantalising first look at Amazon Prime's new motoring show after overseas filming began.
He and co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May left the BBC earlier this year and signed a "very, very, very expensive" deal to make a car-themed programme with the online streaming service.
The 55-year-old outspoken broadcaster had previously insisted "much is already sorted" for the show - after May suggested the stars had got "nowhere", with decisions about content or a name yet to be made.
But Clarkson gave little away as he shared a picture with his 5.6 million Twitter followers of the hosts and crew next to three supercars and two lorries:

While reviewing a particular Peugeot or Renault (can't recall which) that he hated he ticked off the things he didn't like...brakes,suspension,etc,etc,etc.He then takes a quick breath and,as if to deliver the final death blow to the car he says,in that famous snide,contemptuous way of his "and like everything French,*it smokes*"
I am just going on looks. I know nothing about him. This show needs a Steve McQueen type presenter!!!
That and when I first moved to my apartment five years ago, my old tube TV went on the fritz – the color tube went out and everything was either purple or green, but otherwise it worked just fine. But being the cheapskate I am, and considering that most of what I watch on TV is news, I just turned off the color setting on my TV to B&W and watched TV in B&W for about 2 ½ years until I finally broke down and bought a new flat screen HD TV.
Later
If you already run Amazon Prime (for the purchases and shipping), do you need anything more for this service on-line?
Until it got political. Blaming N.O. poverty on Bush's response to Katrina.
I hope he is totally “un-plugged” and refuses to appologize for anything he may or maynot say! :)
and...that bridge did have a slope.
Or get an Apple TV and just stream wirelessly from your laptop or ipad with Airplay.
My favorite was when they reviewed all the old cars from the communist countries, then brought in a car from “our communists”, union built British cars from the 1970’s when the workers were on strike. I think Jeremy is a Thatcher fan. there is one show where he is driving to Norway and he is listening to Thatcher speeches.

#17 Chris Evans is indeed geeky looking. He owns many many cars. Several are quite expensive. He is also friends with Jeremy Clarkson but he lacks charisma for a show like Top Gear. He is smart enough to make a lot of money working at the BBC and on radio. He is worth around $82 million American dollars.

Thank you
Anyone who punches an idiot like Morgan is okay with me. If I ever get the chance, unlikely, I would buy Jeremy a beer just for that.
He’s worth millions but looks geeky as you say. Just not my cup of tea. But the BBC must have done research and audience tests to see if Top Gear fans would accept him.
I think the BBC figured he would not punch anyone : )
The BBC should hire someone to punch him, to toughen him up.
They can hire back Jeremy Clarkson : )
I’m sort of the opposite: I don’t bother watching TV any (neither broadcast nor cable nor via-web-hookups) so I’m even further from the “knowledge base” of “well, everybody knows that!”
Which may be a good thing. 8<)
