You didn’t know that Top Gear is a completely scripted show?


might be scripted, with disastrous consequences in a few cases

as how exactly do you tell them to throw stones and bring dogs to chase after the presenters?
that looked like real fear, like they didnt know what was about to happen to them

you saying that crash Hammond had was a joke? that clearly didnt look like an setup to me,
or that vampire dragster crash, you saying it was preplanned? like at this point you roll it and it burst into flames?

I know top gear and grand tour have a huge crew, and hundreds of support vehicles going along with them,
and a big planning dept with actors and stunt people, but sometimes one has to ask what is real, and what isnt?

Eggy will tell you that’s totally real and Clarkson now hates May and Hammond ;).

Clarkson has said a few times , he visited a restaurant (off duty) where the other 2 or 1 were, and never visited that same restaurant again.

They hate each other so much that when Clarkson was dropped by the BBC Hammond, May and Wilman walked with him....

Yes, May didnt want his Ferrari, (he'd just brought) to be repossessed. so thought hed be proactive rather than wait for things to fall apart

You do realise that driving cars at speed can end up in a crash?

yes, I do, but let me ask this this:
how do we know it wasn't a stunt driver who got hurt? if its all scripted as you point out, and Hammond was asked to "act" injured?

that was real, like Jeremy steak "fracas" was that scripted? I dont think so.

some is real and some isnt, question is sometimes the lines are quite blurred,

like that time they set fire/crash to that caravan, that was clearly scripted, but the part where they flew that caravan airship into a international airport.
how can you claim that is scripted? with the police helicopter at the end?

there is WWE acting, like when Trump beat up the WWE chairman, clearly one can see its scripted,
but other times they get legitimately hurt.

yes its all a lie, the toast is actually recycled human remains, programmed by the Matrix to taste and feel like bread...

Yes, Eggy, you’re well known, almost infamous for some of your theories ;).
