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.

Did Clarkson really enjoy driving the Mazda 6 MPS or was that just how the script was?
On the British-Leyland special, was Jeremy’s Rover actually unable to make it up the hill for the parking brake challenge, or was he roasting the tire for fun?
