As you will have read on TopGear.com last week, Shane Warne recently popped to London to meet Jeremy at Top Gear HQ.
Well, the interview went out on Channel 9 in Australia as England were busy handing the Ashes series back to their hosts, and you can now watch it in full below. Enjoy.

The man is simply brilliant, with a script or without one. And the reason TG lifted off in season 2 was – in a way – James May. The former presenter (Jason?) grounded TG in the serious world of car journalism, like prices, fuel econonmy and so on. James shifted that to fun and exitement, even though he himself is considered to be the serious one. I can’t explain it. He’s somehow as mischiefious as the other two and that makes it such fun to watch. Top Gear forever!

Jeremy says he has no idea why the show is so successful. My husband says it’s because the guys have become a great comedy ensemble team, better than the US TV show Saturday Night Live at its peak. The repartee and wit is so good! That’s why we watch.

Hey there BBC Top Gear: Jeremy, Richard and James I am big fans of your show because you guys show reliable information on the vehicles I am enthusiastic about. Unfortunately, I feel that the American Top Gear show is a flop. It is scripted, they are seriously boring and they take the fun out of being a car enthusiast.
I am just curious to know why Top Gear didn’t choose hosts with natural humor, and knowledge of vehicle information. If I had the chance I would really like to take the place of one of those three idiotic, boring hosts who suck at everything from humor and cars.
I thought that I would enjoy the American version, but I really hate it and would really rather watch your show. It’s funny, entertaining and appreciate your knowledge of the cars you guys experiment on.

I think Jeremy should appear on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories. Or maybe not…

I had this great idea in 2005: Take one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, Samuel Beckett, and set his collection of work, How It Is, to hip hop. At the time, I’d imagined the ease of producing this piece and that all it would take was a phone call to David Byrne whose record label Luaka Bop would be the perfect home for this project. It would be short call, because my idea was so groundbreaking and he’d get it right away. The call would go something like this: “Hi David, this is Alona Fromberg-Elkayam and you need to know me because I’ve two words for you, I mean four words for you: Samuel Beckett and Hip Hop.” And he’d have said “Alona, where did you come from? You are a visionary! Let’s do it!” With David, we’d have no problem approaching Jay-z and other legendary rappers. I’d be ‘honored to do this,’ Hova would say and becoming emphatic about it he’d continue, ‘we have to do this. Samuel Beckett must remain in our lexicon eternally.’
I was unprepared to dedicate my whole future to remixing literature and hip hop, but there is one man who is doing just that: Baba Brinkman. Mr. Brinkman had an even better idea. Since 1999, this rapconteur from Vancouver has been remixing Geoffrey Chaucer’s lewd Canterbury Tales to the beats of hip hop. If you can’t imagine, I will guide you and start with the visual at the Soho Playhouse in New York City. Take this incredible DJ, Jamie Simmonds, and put him stage left with a spotlight above him. He’s scratching for seventy-five minutes and you can’t help but stare at his fingers prancing on the vinyl. Then add Baba center stage. Then add video projection. Have you got the visual? As for the sound, take the tale of The Merchant, one of four Chaucer tales Baba translates from Middle English into rap using modern lexicon and references from high and low culture. Scarlett Johansson becomes May and Hugh Heffner, January. Baba moves across the stage, fronting with gestures and is as true to his literary heritage (he’s got a Masters in English from University of Victoria) as he is to hip hop. Here’s a little riff:
January became a dedicated monogamist
Instead of a misogynist, treating women like objects
It’s funny how our attitudes change with our prospects
Yeah, marriage is a beautiful thing
Especially for those who are too old to swing
After the show, inspired to go back home and reconnect with my Chaucer collection, I reconnect with the Cabernet Sauvignon and M instead.
