Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure

The rollicking, rowdy and hilarious memoir of Top Gear and The Grand Tour, from the elusive man behind the camera

Description

Twenty years of magic and mayhem on Top Gear and The Grand Tour - from the mysterious man behind the camera...

Top Gear turned gloomy Sunday nights into celebratory Friday nights. It made household names of presenters Clarkson, Hammond, and May, with their unique chemistry and buddy movie antics proving irresistible to a global audience, earning them the Guinness World Record for the world's most popular factual TV show.

Then, a short while later, it was gone. How did a thoroughly sensible little consumer advice programme on cars become a global phenomenon? How did it all go wrong? And how did they rise from the ashes as The Grand Tour?

One man has all the answers - co-creator, and Jeremy's oldest friend, Andy Wilman invites you on Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure.

About the Author

Andy Wilman is the author of no books. Except this one. He did however have a career in journalism which began at Auto Express and continued at Top Gear magazine, before making the leap from print to television when he helped produce Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld. After a brief and monumentally forgettable spell in front of the camera Andy realised the best place for his face was behind it, and with that sorted he and Jeremy went on to make some very watchable telly, including Meet the Neighbours, the 2002 reinvented Top Gear, The Grand Tour, and a couple of cracking WW2 documentaries. His driving licence is currently in a drawer somewhere at the DVLA.
