BOOK DESCRIPTION: Pre-order now and lift the hood on twenty years of magic and mayhem from Top Gear and The Grand Tour—told by the man behind the camera.
Top Gear turned gloomy Sunday nights into something to celebrate. It made household names of Clarkson, Hammond, and May, whose unique chemistry and buddy-movie antics proved irresistible to millions around the world. With the trio at the helm, Top Gear earned a spot in the Guinness World Records as the most popular factual TV show on the planet.
And then—suddenly—it was gone.
So how did a modest consumer-advice show about cars become a global phenomenon in the first place? How did it all go wrong? And how did they rise from the ashes to create The Grand Tour and reach even greater heights?
One man has all the answers.
From the very beginning, Top Gear and The Grand Tour co-creator—and Jeremy Clarkson’s oldest friend—Andy Wilman pulls back the curtain on over two decades of motoring mayhem. In Mr. Wilman’s Motoring Adventure, the man in the shadows finally tells the inside story of your favorite TV shows for the first time.
Irreverent, joyful, and laugh-out-loud funny, it’s the best book about Top Gear and The Grand Tour… in the world.
