A story has recently appeared in the news over Topgear "apparently" faking the majority of the driving scenes where the car is whacking down the TopGear track, going sideways in a cloud of smoke etc. This supposed fact has come from a disgruntled ex driver employed by Topgear. (hence the "ex" driver - probably sacked because he couldnt handle a three wheeler)
Naturally Jeremy Clarkson is furious about this and denies it completely. The fact of the matter is that yes some scenes are done by other drivers rather than the presenters, but only when there is a need for cut in shots, and there is no time for the presenters to get back in the cars and do them. They are busy people and there are always going to be extra shots needed when they're not available! Whats the fuss about! Its not as though theyve put a Clarkson look a line in there and recorded his voice over it, its not misleading or fake as people are suggesting it to be!
People love to come up with some kind of excuse to put down the Topgear team, particularly Clarkson, and put him in the firing line. Most probably because they are jealous and know that they will never do the things that he Hammond and May do, never drive the cars they do, and wont come close to having the amazing jobs that they have - which are without question the best jobs ... in the world.
Get over it, enjoy topgear - and if you cant, go and watch Fifth Gear - which is nothing short of watching magnolia paint dry on a very wet, dark day.
