Top Gear on the radio

Posted by Paul Regan at 5:32 pm on Tuesday September 1, 2009

Andy WilmanHere’s something for the proper Top Gear fan – our executive producer Andy Wilman at the Edinburgh Festival talking about the telly show.

It was a Five Live interview with newsreader (and former Star in a Reasonably Priced Car) Kate Silverton, covering searching topics such as secrets to the success of the show and why men like sheds.

You can listen again to the whole thing – this link will take you straight to it on iPlayer. And if you don’t want the boring preamble bit, fast-forward in 37 minutes to go straight to Andy’s slot.

UPDATE: The iPlayer link is no longer valid, so we’re trying to get access to it another way. We’ll keep you posted.

    Top Gear is a great show and I suck in everything I can see and hear about it. But this interview wasn’t very enlightening. Creative TV people are no good philosophers. And I disagree with life being only black and white.
