What does it take to turn a “decent car show” into a global obsession? In Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure, Andy Wilman pulls back the curtain on 22 years of chaos, craft, and unlikely genius behind Top Gear and The Grand Tour. From a childhood shaped by hospital wards and an imagination that had to work overtime, Wilman finds his way into storytelling—and into a lifelong creative partnership with schoolmate Jeremy Clarkson.
You’ll get the inside track on the risky reboot that shouldn’t have worked (a hangar studio, three presenters, a track, and a silent driver called The Stig), the early disasters they survived, and the moments that defined an era. It’s funny, raw, and surprisingly moving—especially as the team faces the bittersweet reality of their final drive together. If you’ve ever wondered how TV lightning gets bottled, this is your backstage pass.
