Have you ever wondered what makes Jeremy Clarkson tick?

Meet his mum, courtesy of the Daily Wail:

I’m not worried about the planet, no. It will be all right. Something will turn up. I went through a war and, at the end, we thought we wouldn’t recover, but you do, don’t you?

People say: “What about your grandchildren?” Well, they’ll sort themselves out. One of my grandsons said: “We’ll just invent another planet.”

This explains a lot.
