Clarkson has made it watchable again.

This was unmissable tv in the early 2000s, but got ruined by really tedious celebrity specials and Chris Tarrant's annoyingly matey style. However, after a much needed 5 year break i think Jeremy Clarkson was an inspired choice to revive its fortunes - love him or loathe him, the guy has breathed new life into the show, and for the first time since about 2005 Millionaire is watchable again.
