"Viewers were furious after Clarkson staged
a series of Carry On style digs at the country's clothing,
trains, toilets, food and history.
At one point, the controversial presenter ridiculed
the unhygienic conditions and lack of sanitation
among the poor by driving around slums in a Jaguar
fitted with a toilet.
Showing off the car's convenience,
he boasted: 'This is perfect for India because
everyone who comes here gets the trots.'
A spokesman for the BBC told the Daily Star that
they have already received eight complaints citing
racism in the programme, which was broadcast
on Wednesday evening."

A spokesman for the BBC said they have been 23 complaints about content 'offensive to India' in the programme, which was broadcast on Wednesday evening.

She added: 'If viewers or religious groups want to complain, they can complain to the BBC. We won't be responding through the media.'

Many viewers, however, took straight to social networks and internet message boards to voice their objections about the show, in which the Top Gear team set out to boost British trade links with the subcontinent.

On Twitter, viewers branded Clarkson a 'Nazi' and dismissed the programme as 'casual racism'.

Twitter user Joseph Rivera wrote: 'Top Gear officially sucks. What a bunch of racist b******s.'

And Owen Hathway tweeted: 'Whats wrong with the BBC that they think casual racist stereotyping is acceptable on top gear?'

In one scene on the programme, Jeremy Clarkson was seen stripping off his trousers in front of two Indian dignitaries to show them how to use a trouser press.

Adding insult to injury, the latest programme was shown just two days after the murder of Indian student Anuj Bidve in Salford on Boxing Day.

Raj Dhutta, of the Manchester Indian Association, told the Star that the timing of the show was 'tasteless' so soon after Mr Bidve's killing, which police are treating as a hate crime.

Clarkson ..... :rolleyes:
