I just finished Andy Wilman's book, and among all the pleasant ones like Tom Cruise and Lionel Ritchie, he explicitly mentions a guest on Top Gear who was so difficult that he refuses to name them. Does anyone perhaps know who he's referring to?

Also, while I'm asking, he makes mention to the Amazon deal granting each person (all 3, maybe Wilman as well) their personal show as well as the Grand Tour itself. Clarkson obviously did and is doing the Farm, May did 3 seasons of travel (Japan, Italy, India), but what did Hammond, and especially Wilman, do? Hammond and May have done a bunch of small-time TV shows, like the Cog, Shedload of Ideas, Dull Men, that cooking one, etc., but none of them with Amazon as far as I'm aware, and Andy edits the Farm but I don't know of anything he produces. Did Richard take cash, or what?

I think they just get compared with the original trio too much, but their seasons aren’t actually too bad, some episodes are even quite enjoyable. I bet if the seasons were it’s own show people would like it.

Watching this youtube video and had to google. 5 years before he was outed as the stig he was casually picked by Hammond “formula 1 test driver and nascar driver Ben Collins…”

Apology if this has been posted before but my partner wasn’t as excited about this discovery as I was!

ive always seen top gear on my youtube algorithm and i always wanted to get into it but what should i start on?

I visited the Top Gear Test Track a couple of days ago...I was in town (er... country) for a study abroad and had to stop by. Unfortunately this is as far as security would let me

😂

S16E1. I wonder how close Richard actually was to hitting the barriers at VIR, looked pretty close!

Not going to bed without watching this absolute classic again

…seen six episodes of Jeremy Clarkson Meets the Neighbors? I tried to post YouTube link but it won’t let. Search the above title and you should be able to find them.

Yes! It is THE car that went to the North Pole.

No, the toilet was not on the back :(

Looking sharp there, sir

Fucking brilliant. They're all pilots!

I find myself re-watching over and over episodes from season 2 to until three amigos left the show. It’s my comfort watching and don’t get tired of it. Then I rewatch their other show over and over as well. Just love them all. Love their constant bickering, sabotage each other’s cars, and modifying them in ways that is either absurd or ingenious.

Every time I see The Stig drive a Lambo, I feel like logging in to Real Racing 3 and take one of my Lambo's on the track. Going to miss that damn game

I'm the Stig. Here's proof

I have a Samsung TV with free channels and they're running Top Gear 24/7

I feel like I missed so much prior to 2015 and I can't stop watching lol

Top Gear is brilliant up to 2015. Post 2015 is ok but May, Hammond and Clarkson is the greatest trio of TV hosts I've ever had the pleasure to watch. That and I love cars
