Jeremy Clarkson: Motormouth (Updated To Include His Sacking By The BBC)

After being dramatically fired by the BBC, Jeremy Clarkson has become even more of a national figure than ever. <br /><br />Top Gear is one of the most successful television shows of all time. <br /><br />Each episode pulls in some 350 million viewers in 170 countries. <br /><br />According to the Guinness Book of Records it is the most widely watched factual TV show in the world and the franchise is thought to be worth $1.5 billion.<br /><br />Although there are two other presenters on the show, it is Clarkson who takes the plaudits and fends off the brickbats. <br /><br />He is the star who has built it up from being a minor motoring programme on a minority TV channel to a global phenomenon.<br /><br />On television, Clarkson is larger than life. <br /><br />His secret is simple. Both on air and in his newspaper columns, he says what he thinks – about cars and any other subject under the sun – usually in the most robust fashion imaginable.<br /><br />But who is the real Jeremy Clarkson?<br /><br />Behind the scenes, what makes him tick? <br /><br />'Motormouth' is a concise, in-depth biography that, like Clarkson himself, pulls no punches. It is not for the faint-hearted. Anyone who reads the Guardian, eats muesli or wears sandals should look away now…<br /><br />"A great biography of a great writer." - Tome Kasey, best-selling author of Trade Off. <br /><br />Nigel Cawthorne is the author of some eighty books - and a major contributor to at least twenty more, including ‘Che Guevara: The Last Conquistador’ and ‘The Empress of South America’. He lives in Bloomsbury, London's literary area. <br /><br />Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent publisher of digital books.<br />
