BBC Top Gear Thread 2021/2022
Discussion
I went yesterday (Thursday 12th) - Good day out (albeit very wet and cold waiting beforehand).
Arrived at 12.30 (latest arrival according to the ticket for a 1pm start) and didn't get into the studio until around 2.30pm!! Recorded various bits of 3 different shows to be aired during January.
The 3 presenters gel very well and seem to be pretty good buddies, some good vibes between all of them. Chris is certainly the "boss" and appeared less of a people person whilst Paddy and Fred do a lot of horsing about.
It was an interesting experience but, if anyone is going in the future, the "wear comfortable shoes" recommendation earlier is definitely to be heeded

The bussing in of audience could do with looking at.
It was pissing it down and windy whilst we had to wait for nigh on 6-700 people to get on three buses to and from the studio.
More busses would help, and the mad scrum to get the bus back needed sorting by the security who didn’t seem to do much.
Overall, an interesting day.
Filming didn’t finish for us until 6:55pm on Tuesday.

Back in the good old days you used to enter Dunsfold by the main gate, not the compass gate, and park in the big car park by the café. Then just walk in, no busses involved. Then it was all back to a little pub in Dunsfold village for beers with CHM and the producers.It was pissing it down and windy whilst we had to wait for nigh on 6-700 people to get on three buses to and from the studio.

I'll watch it, as there will not be much else to spark my interest on TV over xmas, but it's just copy and paste from the previous specials, scene by scene isn't it?Gary29 said:

Maybe but it does at least look interesting and capable of entertaining, something The Grand Your failed to do, for me. I wasn't expecting to like TG with this team but I think they have a real bond and have fun making it and it shows. Looks like they involve the locals in that fun too and don't patronise them like TGT.

They had a couple of double decker busses last year which made it much faster to shuffle people to and from the car park.It was pissing it down and windy whilst we had to wait for nigh on 6-700 people to get on three buses to and from the studio.

Seen the new ad..........wrecking a Peugeot 106 rallye (one of my all time favourite cars, and they are already getting thin on the ground) and a Renault 4........what a bunch of c*nts.........
Can't believe they didn't consult you before they did any of that. What were they thinking?!?!Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
