Jeremy Clarkson left bloodied and beaten after ‘dangerous’ car stunt

Promoting his upcoming Amazon Prime car show, Jeremy Clarkson posted a selfie showing a seriously beat up face on Saturday. No, his damaged mug was not, as far as we know, the result of an altercation with a member of the crew over a lack of hot food following a day-long shoot for the show, but instead the aftermath of what he described as “the most dangerous stunt” he’d ever attempted. Teasing fans, he declined to offer any details of his apparently daring escapade, though a blackened face and bloody nose suggested he may have crashed a supercar down a coal mine. Some of his Twitter followers speculated the sooty look was more the work of the make-up department than any outlandish antics, though to one doubter the presenter responded, “You’re going to feel silly when you see the show. It so isn’t make-up.” <blockquote> I survived the day. Just. <a rel="nofollow" href="Jeremy Clarkson on Twitter">pic.twitter.com/I9IB9OGwv1</a> — Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) <a rel="nofollow" href="Jeremy Clarkson on Twitter">April 1, 2016</a> </blockquote> The day before posting the picture, Clarkson <a rel="nofollow" href="Jeremy Clarkson on Twitter">tweeted</a>, “Tomorrow morning, I’m doing the most dangerous stunt I’ve ever attempted. This may well be a goodbye.” The former Top Gear presenter has been getting into a few scrapes while filming for the new show, last month <a rel="nofollow" href="Jeremy Clarkson on Twitter">posting a photo</a> of a mangled wreckage of a car after “a bit of an accident.” Clarkson, along with long-time presenter buddies Richard Hammond and James May, started filming their new show <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/t...-show-laferrari-mclaren-p1-porsche-918/'>last October</a>, though a release date hasn’t yet been announced. <strong>Related:</strong> <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.digitaltrends.com/ny-aut...es-up-in-flames-at-the-new-york-auto-show/'>A custom Porsche 993 Turbo goes up in flames at the New York Auto Show</a> Amazon <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/j...orts-will-make-a-car-show-for-amazon/'>nabbed the trio</a> after the BBC fired Clarkson <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/bbc-fires-jeremy-clarkson-from-top-gear/'>from Top Gear</a> last year following a bust-up with one of the show’s producers. CEO Jeff Bezos said the deal turned out to be “<a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/a...ar-hosts-were-very-very-very-expensive/'>very, very, very expensive</a>” for his company, with some reports putting it at $250 million for 36 episodes over three years. Top Gear, meanwhile, is gearing up for a relaunch with a bunch of new presenters and refreshed format. Fronted by British TV and radio personality Chris Evans alongside <a rel="nofollow" href='http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/top-gear-will-be-hosted-by-six-humans-and-a-stig/'>Matt LeBlanc and five others</a>, the BBC show starts airing on May 8. Commentators are keen to see which wins out among the competing shows, though the likelihood is that gearheads will simply lap up both offerings.

I remember channel surfing one day and happened to see the intro to Top Gear come on. Not knowing what it was, I was captivated by the scene where the 911 flies onto the screen chasing the Audi. Many high jinks later, I am still a fan and can repeatedly re-watch.

I've been a prime member for years and never paid mush attention to the movie / video side of it; looks like I have a good reason to start. :thumb:
been using it for years- limited selection, and not intuitive as Netflix. (going back to flick and searching is for me difficult
I think they have "Justified" which I binged watch- great U S Marshall's vs. Kentucky coal miners/hootchers/ robbers etc.
1st episode,first scene, sets the stage- if that doesn't catch you, pass it by.

I got it just for the free shipping; and I always get my money's worth.
Any time I went looking in music or movies I was always disappointed.
You're right, they need something in there to get them more competitive with Netflix
