I've got tickets to the studio part of the filming for one show this series. I'm guessing others here have been, any tips/advice? I've already heard it gets very hot/cold in there depending on weather and you stand a lot, so will be taking comfy shoes etc. Anything else?

Cheers smile
thats probally about it, take a compact camera as they let you take photos between shooting.

Precisely, if you don't like it, then don't watch it, or for that matter, come here and whinge about it.

I am expecting a woosh parrot here, but you can clearly make out "Pirelli P6000"...
it was actually a question, i wasnt completely aware if the P6000 was the famous 'ditch finder' but sort of recognised the tread from a different thread concerning them a while ago!

TBH I may just be completely wrong myself, as far as I knew the only "ditchfinders" were Linglong and such!

Just got back from filming. Clarkson and May were very good, had a chat and a picture during the break. Hammond on the other hand was nowhere to be seen, not that i would of had much to say to him anyway. Enjoyed the afternoon, shame about getting wet before the show. I think its funny how they move all the uglys and get the fit birds to the front!

Pirelli P6000s are well known as being greasier than a greasy ball of grease.
