If you’ve read the Mole’s thingy, you’ll doubtless know how the record of show one went, and may I say I concur with the ‘Bana is a good bloke‘ verdict. Not only did he stay, but he stayed and drank beer; sadly, I too saw him eat from the Terrible Buffet of Out of Date [...]

Series 14: it’s, er, late

Series 14

Greeting readers. It’s about midnight, and I’ve just got in from the edit. Tonight I’ve been working on the track film for show 1, which this time is helmed by James in a couple of massively overpowered limos – thought it’d be a change from the low slung two-door stuff.

Top Gear 13: the countdown begins

Posted by Andy Wilman at 4:18 pm on Monday June 8, 2009

It’s Back! The Waiting is Over! This Summer’s Blockbuster is Here! Be Afraid… etc etc. The reason I’m borrowing so many tired and tested one liners from your local multiplex foyer is quite simple: I’m trying to distract viewers from what the title of the actual film would be, were this new series an actual [...]

Top year?

Posted by Andy Wilman at 4:01 pm on Tuesday December 30, 2008

2008 has actually been our first year since Richard’s accident that we’ve done a normal run of two series, and personally I think the Summer run was patchy – didn’t find its feet until the Shit Alfas film in show 3, but rocked from then on – I mean Japan, TG versus the Germans – [...]

Our ‘Nam special

Posted by Andy Wilman at 11:15 am on Monday December 22, 2008

Vietnam is all wrapped up with a ribbon round it and is now sitting under the huge Christmas telly tree, waiting to be unwrapped on Sunday 28th, at 8pm. I hope everyone’s too pissed or fat to move off the sofa, because, and I know I say this every time, it’s quite a good one.

What’s to come

Posted by Andy Wilman at 11:55 am on Tuesday November 25, 2008

I’m sorry it’s my first scribble session for this run, because I do like a blog, but it has literally been horrible getting this series together. After the summer run we all split to do stuff, which meant we didn’t reconvene until September and had just eight weeks to get films done for eight shows.
