Jeremy Clarkson poked fun at the BBC over a new TV show they’ve commissioned.

The broadcaster revealed they were planning to commemorate the bicentenary of Charlotte Bronte’s birth with a two hour film about the Bronte sisters.

But the former Top Gear presenter clearly wasn’t impressed with the plan, suggesting it sounded boring.

He tweeted: “Finally, Britain has an answer to Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and so on.”

It’s thought Jeremy and his former Top Gear presenters James May and Richard Hammond could be signing to Netflix, after Jeremy was sacked from the show.

He's clearly a fan of the online service - judging by his tweet. Breaking Bad first aired on Netflix.

The gang, who are gearing up for a live tour, are reportedly negotiating with the online service to create a new version of the motoring series.

A source revealed: “If it goes ahead, they’re planning to call it House of Cars, which is just genius.”

They cannot use the Top Gear name because it belongs to the BBC. It plans to relaunch the show with new hosts.

A tug of war for Clarkson, 55, and his team has broken out between the streaming service and ITV, which also held talks with them last week.

But a source said: “The headache with ITV is going to be the potential conflicts of interest with advertisers.

“What would they do if Jaguar or Volvo had a sponsorship deal but they wanted to berate its latest new car?

"Jeremy doesn’t like being told what to do. It could cause huge arguments.”
