Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure

Top Gear, Grand Tour, Clarkson and Me




The rollicking, rowdy and hilarious memoir of Top Gear and The Grand Tour, from the elusive man behind the camera

Top Gear and The Grand Tour have filled our screens with dead-cool cars, hair-raising challenges and the hilarious antics of its hosts, Clarkson, May and Hammond. Behind the camera, one man saw it all – the elusive Mr Wilman. Challenge-setter, mission-controller and (often) insulter-in-chief, Andy \"Neville\" Wilman produced extraordinary television with the chaps – and had a rollicking good time doing it.
Close friends with Jeremy Clarkson since their school days, their lifelong friendship had a fundamental impact on the shows they crafted together.
In this hilarious memoir, Wilman relates the electrifying highs and ludicrous lows of the world’s best-loved motor shows.

About the author

Andy Wilman

Andy Wilman is the author of no books. Except this one. He did however have a career in journalism which began at Auto Express and continued at Top Gear magazine, before making the leap from print to television when he helped produce Jeremy Clarkson’s Motorworld. After a brief and monumentally forgettable spell in front of the camera Andy realised the best place for his face was behind it, and with that sorted he and Jeremy went on to make some very watchable telly, including Meet the Neighbours, the 2002 reinvented Top Gear, The Grand Tour, and a couple of cracking WW2 documentaries. His driving licence is currently in a drawer somewhere at the DVLA.
