Ex-presenter Willson's Top Gear U-turn

Former Top Gear presenter Quentin Willson has accused the BBC2 hit show of being a relic from a "golden age" of motoring, report the Guardian and Daily Telegraph. He says of Jeremy Clarkson: "Bless him, the tall fella. It's very funny to say: 'You want a green Lamborghini. You want a green car? There it is.' But that way disaster lies ... Top Gear is a wonderful form of vicarious entertainment, but the reality is that we've got a global crisis here - we've got to manage our resources, stop being an oil economy, and embrace a fantastic, exciting future." True, Quentin, true. But Top Gear's trip to the north pole is still more hilarious than anything you've ever said on Fifth Gear.
