Hello CT. My name is Richard Porter and I was the script editor on Top Gear. Ask me anything.
After working on the show for 13 years, 22 series and 175 programmes, there’s quite a lot I can tell you about Top Gear. I know whose idea it was to get a dog, I was there when we got threatened by drug barons in Bolivia, I can give you the real story of that Porsche number plate.

I’ve put all these things in my new book, but you can ask me about them anyway. Or something else. Up to you. I’m here all night. Try the soup in a basket.

What was your favorite challenge on top gear?
Do Richard, Jeremy and James behave in private life as they do on television?
What was the best perk of the job?
What do you think of my car?
What’s the real history behind the Porsche plate? You said tou could answer, so I asked!
Who’s the stig?
Hi,
Who was the last Stig? Also, will Clarkson, Hammond & May’s future endeavours feature The Stig?
I doubt I’ll get a concise answer to either, but I’m not the only one who wants to know, lol! ;)
Did clarkson, may or hammond ever recieve off-camera mechanical assistance during any of the challenges and specials, or did clarkson really fix everything with a hammer?
It’s obvious some things were scripted, however what to you, was the most absurd, non scripted moment?
WHO IS THE STIG?
