May be mistaken, but pretty sure we saw Clarkson driving a black Audi R8 out of our local Sainsburys yesterday... Perhaps he's up here visiting family for his birthday, wasn't he originally from Doncaster?

Everyone on here seems to have seen someone famous or have friends that have. :/

:shock: And I just googled an Audi R8, they're pretty cool...

i met the gadget show team yesterday ;)

regarding Top Gear, i met Jezza, May & Hammy at Top gear Live a few years ago also, met quite a few different celebs though, think my faves are Katherine Jenkins & Eliza Dushku.

yes, at the live show they ask if there are any winners last year there was one who won the competition with 50 odd gadgets, this year there wasn't any in when i was there but someone who i chat to on Twitter went on the stage & took part in a game & won a new touch-screen PC :)

I met a load of F1 drivers at a testing session at silverstone a few years ago (inc Mark Webber and Rubens Barrichello) ;)

People actually win the gadget show competition? :shock:

My goodness, that's a pretty funky donkey!

just watching a repeat on DaveJaVu... and it's the Classic Hammond and Slow in a Light Aircraft VS Clarkson in the awesome Bugatti Veyron across Europe... probably my second favourite ep of all time after the 60s Race To The North episode featuring Michael Stigmacher....

I think it's becoming harder to top what's gone before, especially when they put the Schumacher one at the start of the series (probably so they could make various gags through the rest of the series about how they "don't think it IS actually Schumacher after all") instead of a series finale... though it was sort of well-timed with the rumours of him returning to Ferrari to replace the injured Massa.

The Polar, Vietnam and South America specials were good though...

The Polar was superb. Probably my favourite episode of all times. Its inspired me to do the Polar Challenge one day. Only one thing really stands in my way... £20000 :confused:

    • It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).
    • On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!
    • I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones. 
    • The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently! 
    • That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter  
    • I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
