Enjoy, Simon!
Do tell us the proximity of your location in the crowd so we can try to spot you on TV |

I saw a clip of the "Evening with Top Gear" video and Clarkson said that the filming for Episode 1 wasn't finished. Even with the need to keep the news sketch somewhat topical I didn't think they left it this late.
I suspect the only time we'll get a glimpse of you is the top-down pan to the JC at the beginning of the show |

Just got home, 850 mostly blokes in dark coats, spent 2 and a half hours standing around a freezing car park with no interesting cars to look at before being taken to the studio, once there it looked very familiar with the old toyota pick up and the xjs train replacement, there for about 4 hours with all the usual features the news are race through st petersberg and a feature on the new lambo, you might see me when Richard Hammond stands by the old white lambo, but as said they put all the women in the front and even my hat, fluffy white hair and paisley shirt did not get me any close ups, Good day out but it was very cold even in the hanger. Watch the show on Sunday and let me know if anyone spots me. The star in a reasonably priced car was silly as Ed Sheeran had never driven a car before and probably 90% of the normal viewers will not know who he is

Yeah, I'm just about to put a picture up, give me a few minutes.
I wouldn't say you stood out but it wasn't hard to miss you! Double Edit - Success! I think you'll find that you are front and center I played with the light levels but it didn't make the picture much clearer. When it's broadcast/uploaded in HD we'll get a chance to see you in better detail, like it or not ... Last edited by J Jay; 25 Jan 2015 at 21:18. |

I don't drink but thanks for the offer. Don't worry, I'll think of something suitable.
Also, were the presenters all wearing Chile badges? If they are I assume it's a show of gratitude for what happened in the Patagonia special filming. |
