I dunno... seems like a huge overpayment to me. Like I said above, I think Clarkson knows that he is the real draw, not the name Top Gear. He has been putting out DVD's for years that are just called "Clarkson: (subtitle)" which are not affiliated with Top Gear at all (I'm fairly certain anyway). And most likely nobody is going to watch BBC's Top Gear without the current crew. When I look at it like that, it looks like Clarkson made out like a bandit in that deal.
