Hey, I didn't say it!
Top Gear's man behind the lens, Andy Wilman, did. In a recent interview with a leading British publication, Wilman sat down and provided some memorable quotes about the program, which is said to have the highest viewership across the globe. Some have said Top Gear's viewership is upwards of 300 million, globally.
But this interview wasn't about gloating, it was more about how the crew produces the show. Having done some production work myself, I have to say that much like a sausage factory, you really don't want to know how this stuff is made.

1. “I don’t think anyone realises how much work goes into making these three look like f---wits.”
2. “We’re pretty shocking at the discipline of brainstorming, it’s actually a bit of a mess. People probably think we operate like a newspaper and have editorial conferences all the time and we don’t.”
3. “In the early days, the films were simpler. In series three, we did loads of road tests, now I think, we could knock them off in a minute.”
4. “The presenters will do anything we find funny. When we were testing the Range Rover Evoque in Death Valley, we thought right we’ve got to chauffeur someone. So I said, ‘Let’s try and get a wild animal, one of those big Bengal tigers.’ It didn’t happen in the end but we’d gone through with all the planning. I said, ‘You can’t have any wire mesh or anything James. You like cats… you don’t mind, do you?’ And he was going, ‘Yes, I like the idea of a big tiger, sounds good.’”
