Would agree that is hardly a news item, I would have thought though his contract would say that he had to remain anonymous. I'm maybe one of the few who like the show (not as a factual motoring show but just light entertainment) knowing who he is does spoil the character.
I wonder if the fact that Tom Cruise was on a few weeks ago, has anything to do with him spilling the beans? I mean was it actually Cruise in the car as it went two wheels up!
I worked in the film industry - specifically the camera tracking bit - and I can tell you theres not 1 stig - theres loads. Even a mate of mine was the stig for 1 vehicle, as noone else had ever driven it - and he had just spent months driving round for a film in spain (and doing low level stunts). Its all bollix.
still - another vote for VBH - so long as its skin tight race suit
The 'non-carers' and licence fee watchers probably don't realise that Top Gear is one of our most successful exports - I have to take their DVDs to China each trip (local black market versions are rubbish) and in Germany my colleagues consider it the best program on TV. So the answer to the question is lots of people care but too few are British as with much of our industrial output.
VBH as the next stig? Doubt she could keep her gob shut long enough to not give it away!
Am i the only one who is sick of hearing the 'license fee paying for .......' argument that gets trotted out everytime the bbc feels the need to protect its own copyright?? So what! Do you think every penny we pay goes into new programmes?? The bbc has to protect its own interests.
