Andy Wilman on why Clarkson, Hammond and May should be Director General

: Posted by Andy Wilman; 2:12 pm on Wednesday March 13, 2013

I know this seems a bit late to wade into the whole BBC Director General hoo-ha that kicked off a while back, but I’ve been busy on Top Gear. Now however, with the series over, I’d like to share my thoughts on the matter. A couple of months ago I was driving to work, the […]

The first of our Christmas double bill – what did you think?

Top Gear on 60 Minutes: preview

: Posted by TopGear.com; 12:43 pm on Friday October 22, 2010

60 Minutes. The most successful programme in US television history. Acknowledged masters of investigative reporting since 1968. Home of such broadcasting legends as Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite and Christiane Amanpour. Synonymous with blowing Watergate and Vietnam wide open on the screens of a nation. Winners of 78 Emmy Awards (making our ‘one’ look rather meagre).

The Stig. He’s ours

Doubtless you’ll have read that the BBC and the book publishing people, HarperCollins, are now in a big legal battle over HarperCollins’ wish to publish an autobiography of the person who wears the Stig suit to work.

Hello there. TG telly bossman Andy Wilman was going to write a few words about the new series today but he’s deep in the edit suite preparing the first show and can’t be disturbed, unless you’re offering a way to cut 45 seconds out of all the over-running VTs. Or some crisps. He likes crisps. […]
