THE FIRST LOOK at Jeremy Clarkson’s new programme with Amazon has surfaced with the presenter taking a bit of a dig at the BBC.
The ad starts out with its focus on Amazon’s Fire Stick – a device that allows users to access a range of television services.
The former BBC presented explains that back in the spring he became “unbusy” – something that was ok as he had one of the devices to keep him entertained.
After riding into his living room on a Segway with Steppenwolf’s Born to be Wild as musical accompaniment, he sits down and flicks through the services available on the Fire Stick, brushing off the BBC IPlayer when he comes to it.
He was dismissed from the channel back in May after allegedly punching Irish producer Oisin Tynon.
Earlier this year the presenter signed a deal with Amazon that was reportedly worth £160 million (€225 million).
The last shot of the ad shows a promotional shot for the upcoming programme that will be hosted by Clarkson and his former Top Gear co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond.

They are right in seeking justice, which was in short supply when it comes to the so called security forces and their actions during the troubles.
This bill is a travesty. It twists the knife in the wounds of those who lost loved ones in the conflict. It is Britain’s shame that they cover up their crimes in Ireland.
Typical British arrogance towards Ireland and just shows how racist the British really are beneath the surface.
For all the ffg tories honesty decency and integrity are just words to you ,
Big list of legacy problems that if you go back far enough everyone is to blame for present problems. The dead have no conscience.
@Peter Boyle: the English killers have no conscience either
