The programme, which was made first by LWT and then Granada Productions, featured a number of clips from unusual or (often unintentionally) amusing television programmes and commercials from around the world. The show was first presented by TV critic and journalist Clive James between 1982 and 1988, followed by celebrity chef Keith Floyd in 1989. Chris Tarrant took over as presenter from 1990 to 1996, with James briefly returning in 1997. Tarrant resumed as presenter from 1998 until the show ended in 2006. On Christmas Day 2020, the show was revived for a one-off special with Jeremy Clarkson as host. Another episode with Clarkson aired in April 2021, with a series of three episodes being broadcast after Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in July 2021. Early years The show began in 1982, hosted by the Australian television critic and satirist Clive James. The series showed funny and bizarre clips from TV shows and adverts from around the world, most notably from the Far Eastern countries of Japan and Korea. The series popularised the Japanese show Endurance which followed numerous contestants as they underwent painful tasks around the world. After James joined the BBC in 1988, celebrity chef Keith Floyd was brought in for a six-episode series in 1989 before Chris Tarrant took over in 1990. Later years For its tenth anniversary in 1992, Tarrant presented a compilation series entitled Tarrant's Ten Years of Television (later 10 Years on TV), which showed clips from the past five series and specials. It also included extra footage that was deemed unsuitable for transmission in the original show. In 1997, Clive James returned as host for two series, produced by Watchmaker Productions for Carlton Television, in 1997 and 1998. Tarrant on TV The show continued to show bizarre clips from all over the world. But they now often included nudity, strong language, and crude or dark humour. Examples include a Japanese crying contest, a Japanese contraception advert, a profane North Korean propaganda film, and an advert showing ping pong balls being fired from the bottom. Tarrant on TV also began to cover more violent and unusual programming such as the Jerry Springer Show or The Man Show.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/chris-tarrant-the-all-rounder-312063.html https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220501/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/chris-tarrant-the-all-rounder-312063.html 1 May 2022 subscription live Chris Tarrant: The all-rounder | Media The Independent 2016-05-20 Additionally, many acclaimed public information films were shown from around the world, particularly road safety campaigns from the Transport Accident Commission of Australia and Land Transport New Zealand. With a different presenter, the format was also altered to include a special guest. On 4 April 1992, Mel Brooks appeared on the show. The show's content focused on different types of humour in Sweden, America and Israel. However the celebrity guest format was dropped by LWT because it was deemed too expensive to pay for cinematic clips and a guest star each week.September 2013 The last series of Tarrant on TV was in 2005, with a special broadcast in October 2006. The theme tune between 1996 and 2006 was Syd Dale's "The Penthouse Suite".September 2013 It's Clarkson on TV On Christmas Day 2020, a revival of the show was broadcast, with Jeremy Clarkson hosting a review of the year's television.https://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week52/its-clarkson-tv It's Clarkson On TV Episode 1 Press Centrehttps://tellymix.co.uk/tv/503289-jeremy-clarkson-to-review-the-years-tv-in-new-itv-special.html Jeremy Clarkson to review the year's TV in ITV special Josh Darvill 5 December 2020 TellyMixhttps://metro.co.uk/2020/11/11/jeremy-clarkson-takes-on-charlie-brookers-screenwipe-with-tv-special-13578318/ Jeremy Clarkson takes on Charlie Brooker with Screen Wipe-style TV special 11 November 2020 A second episode was broadcast on 2 April 2021 with a series following in July 2021.https://www.itv.com/hub/its-clarkson-on-tv/10a0845 It's Clarkson on TV 28 March 2022 4 January 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220104202509/https://www.itv.com/hub/its-clarkson-on-tv/10a0845 dead https://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/nkn45h/its-clarkson-on-tv/ It's Clarkson on TV (TV Series)https://www.sky.com/watch/title/series/bd99f72c-48dc-4414-91cf-14ec5842fdcf/it-s-clarkson-on-tv-bd99f72c-48dc-4414-91cf-14ec5842fdcf/episodes/season-1/episode-1 It's Clarkson on TV 11 July 2021 11 July 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210711152015/https://www.sky.com/watch/title/series/bd99f72c-48dc-4414-91cf-14ec5842fdcf/it-s-clarkson-on-tv-bd99f72c-48dc-4414-91cf-14ec5842fdcf/episodes/season-1/episode-1 dead Now produced for ITV by Expectation Entertainment,https://expectationtv.com/show/its-clarkson-on-tv/ It's Clarkson on TV the series has moved away from featuring as many foreign television clips (such as Japanese game show Endurance) as its predecessors, with British dramas such as White House Farm, Quiz and Des critiqued alongside English-language shows on streaming services, such as Love is Blind and Selling Sunset.
