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 happened to the cars in the studio, like the red Hilux and the Herald ?
What is your favourite volvo?
Do you like porridge? If so do you like a bit of brown suger with it or do you like a bit of butter on the top?
Are the cockups that happen in the show planned for or they just happen?
Why did Top Gear only appeared in Hungary for one episode? And what was the worst fight scene between where to go?
Sweet!
Question: Is it hard to work with the orangutan, hamster and mr. slowly?
What’s your daily driver? What was your favorite car the trio built. And did they really built it?
This is the most commented post on CT i think.

Since you have a CT account, will you be an active member?
I would just like to say that, no, I command you to all listen to Gareth Jones On Speed podcast. It’s great and Richard is on it.
That’s all.
