What's up with the Grand Tour and women?

Watch it tonight then, Paris Hilton is on and so am I

I was very lucky to be able to get tickets for the very last filming of the last show in the series, although to be fair we were not placed in the best position. But as you look at the table with Clarkson on the left, I was tucked away in the far left corner.

That said when Hammond and May do a piece to camera about half way through the show I am stood right behind them, autographs are available by request.

You went to a filming and didn't abduct Hammond and Clarkson and imprison them in a well somewhere?

At least he didn't make any jibes about cyclists this show. The final episode might have an audience member booing!

Got a soft spot for May have we?

No, I am wearing an grey AA jacket, reflective bands on the arms...don't ask!

To be honest, I think it would have not been worth my life to boo even if he had slanted bike riders

But I have to say, it was a great experience even if we were standing up for quite a number of hours!

Jodhi Marsh was at the top of the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car board in Top Gear. And they had Helen Mirren on who said to JC that the fancy sports car he had on that particular show was pathetic.

FEAR IS A HELLOVA DRUG

I think you mean Jodie Kidd - Jodi Marsh is some one very different.

Yes

Having been to an episode of Top Gear being filmed (Don't ask ), I can confirm that that did happen. It was done openly something along the lines of would you pretty ladies like to come to the front to stand immediately behind Jeremy, James and Richard.

Did they decide who was pretty or were the ladies allowed to self assess?

It was ten plus years ago but iirc it was along the lines of could any pretty young ladies come to the front.

It wasn't totally lost, just having witnessed it first hand it seemed worth mentioning.....

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

They had a woman celebrity on today’s episode.

No idea how she did though as I always fast-forward through that bit.
