Since Clarkson discovered Facebook, he’s tried the live stream feature and, as expected, he’s rubbish at it. Jeremy also tried his luck with a Q&A session we’ve covered in a previous story. Now he’s at it again, the second session offering a few more details about himself and the yet-unnamed car show on Amazon.
Speaking of which, the boys haven’t found a name for the show and need your help. I’ve proposed “The Shouty, the Shorty and the Woolly,” but this handle didn’t go through, apparently. Nevertheless, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May cannot use “gear” in the name of their new show because the BBC and lawyers and stuff. As per the first Q&A of Jeremy Clarkson, we have confirmation that the show will start this fall and will feature 12 episodes in the first series.

What have we found out from Q&A session 2 about the still-very-much-unnamed-show, the shouty man that made Sundays end on a bombshell, and his two best friends? Read on to find out what’s what:

Q: “Are you still going to do specials like you did before? I absolutely loved those. The more convoluted the better! I also sent you a message about a name for the show I thought you would like a few days ago. Enjoy your day Mr. Clarkson!”
A: “Yup. We set off next week. Location is secret as before.”

Q: ”In the past the show had access to motor industry info and certain vehicles through BBC connections, goodwill of the owners etc, wondering if it will still be the case now, and not just whatever Amazon can get by throwing money around.”
A: “What does it matter how we get the cars?”

Q: “Is there any chance you can get James to try out one of those water jet pack thingys in the new show?”
A: “He declined. Would you like to see him do knitting? He's good at that.”

Q: “Third time lucky... How about calling the new show Overdrive? Like top gear only...higher. As it were.”
A: “Can’t.”

Q: “Do some diesel cars in your new show?”
A: “No.”

Q: “Are you coming to the northwest america? Portland oregon to be specific.”
A: “We have rain here thanks.”

Q: “Is there any chance you can get James to try out one of those water jet pack thingys in the new show?”
A: “He declined. Would you like to see him do knitting? He's good at that.”

Q: “Are you doing any filming in Donny?”
A: “Yes!!!!! No wait. I mean no.”

Q: “Which was your best moment from top gear?”
A: “Cameron Diaz hugged me.”

Q: “If you were stuck on a desert island with James May and Richard Hammond, which one would be killed first?”
A: “If this is f**k, marry, I'd kill myself.”

Q: “Best car you have ever driven?”
A: “[Lexus] LFA”

Q: “What car do you wish you'd never sold?”
A: “A BMW 3.0 CSL”

Q: “Why do you have an asymmetric face?”
A: “Everyone who's driven a GTR has one.”

Q: “Arsenal or Spurs ?”
A: “Chelsea.”

Q: “Favorite current f1 driver?”
A: “Kimi.”

Q: “What is a fracas?”
A: “It's like a cheese thing.”
