It's not really 'Epic' is it?

[derek-33]

easy done i thought the same as clarkson one is and ibix the other an ibis

[THECORBYLOON]

An ibis is a bird not a deer...

[dannyk13]

Ibex not ibix.

I think the embrarrasing part about it was that he was so sure he knew the answer. When he said "I`ve seen them boinging along" I`m surprised he didn't put two and two together and realise that that's what goats do.

[jambutty]

I would have sworn myself that an Ibex was a deer, shocked it's a goat !

[zebo]

Like him or not he's injected some humour into the show, I doubt if Tarrant had done it there would have been as much discussion about it, it would have been same old, same old. Personally I would like to see it brought back with him doing it, he was honest at the start by saying his general knowledge was very limited.

[THECORBYLOON]

I think if you seen a picture of an ibex you'd see it looks more like a goat than a deer.

[Baldric]

It's so easy with hindsight

[THECORBYLOON]

Doe!

[jambutty]

Just googled it, definitely looks like a goat!

[Prudie]

Yes it does but as I said earlier I thought of it as one of those many African things that boing along with horns, antelope type things..deer.
Now I know different.

[Tilly2]

Impala?

[Bazile]

Yes but it was his cockiness that was the problem

I'm not going to check the screen , I'm sure I'm right

[DarceyK123]

Bazile, totally agree, that was the point I was trying to make.

It doesn't matter if it was a goat or a deer, the mistake occurred because of his total arrogance.

[Garaman]

Good old Clarkson, he always gives those that need it something to moan about.

[Patsy33]

^^^^^^^^
Lol @ Baldric!

[douglas9401]

Typical nanny state overreactions.

[Prudie]

Some African things that boing along with horns (and if you look at pictures the goat/deer separation can be fuzzy):
Wildebeest
Roan
Waterbuck
Elund
Geernuk
Steenbok
Nyala
Klipspringer
Kudu
Impala
Lechwe
Springbok
Sable Antelope
Oryx
Quite a lot and there are more.
On this I think the surprisingly intense dislike for Clarkson has blown it out of all proportion.

[andy-hughes]

I would have been similarly confident, and identically wrong.

I couldn't really care less if Clarkson got it wrong, it's easily done.

Maybe they should realise they are flogging a dead horse / goat / pig with this 'revival' and think of something new.
