Andy Wilman was the producer that worked with Clarkson on Motorworld... Years before Top Gear they went to Vietnam and Jeremy rode a moped. It never get's a mention, and it's well worth watching the early development of their working relationship.

@@wessexdruid7598 I too recall Stig Of The Dump... But the term Stig was used to describe a particular type of pupil at the school that they went to. I can't remember at the minute exactly what it referenced, but I do recall Either Jeremy or Andy clearly defining where it came from. It was definitely not from Stig Of The Dump. Edit: At original Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson's public school Repton, all new boys were called "stig".

Such a refreshing change to watch an interview where the interviewer actually keeps quiet when the interviewee is speaking. She just allowed Andy to speak. Fantastic.

I just like to say how refreshing it it's to have an interviewer that actually listens and let's the guy speak instead of yelling all kinds of nonsense!

I feel the Vietnam motorbike and the Seaman special are two of the best and most original pieces of entertainment this group ever created. Excellent programming and thank you for the pleasure of continuing to produce for us to see.

The comment about letting the trio's relationship develop is very true. It's noticable now that Top Gear since they all left is a very, very forced "Hey we're three funny friends" kind of setup and it doesn't work anymore and it's obvious that the BBC have screwed with it too much.

Clarkson and Wilman have an equal hand in creating Top Gear as we know it today.

Just want to put it out there that if they make another 100 specials of just car road trips I'm absolutely fine with it!

The combination of cars, humor and world travel works everytime.

0:19 "You too" Sounding...not as happy to be there 🤣

I am still waiting for a director's cut of the Vietnam special! This is and will be my all-time favourite!

Honestly I would love to see a proper Australian road trip featuring Utes/Holden and Fords.

I would have sworn Clarkson was the one naming these specials.

Great interview!

either Willman needs more interviews since he is a really good talker/narrator or you cut out some prompting questions

I remember coming home from school as a child to watch the USA Special - I’m so glad it worked out how it did for you all! So many years of great laughs.

I’d love to see some of the behind the scenes /how this masterpiece is filmed.

Really enjoyed that!

As a kid before going to bed when I was scared shitless of something from a movie or a video or whatever, I would always sneak up my DVD player and put the specials on to calm me down. Jeremy, James and Richard were and always will be nothing but a form of stress relief for me.

I like that there's a hype before these specials. Because you know they're gonna be good. They're kinda like the modern day equivalent of Led Zeppelin. And I live only 20 minutes away from the car part shop Bilextra where they fell on their arses on the ice. And the worst thing was that I got tipped they were in the area at the same time as the media, but of course I was semi-decomposing in my bed with corona.

You mean in Bolivia? It's Cotapata-Santa Bárbara section of the Yungas Road (which itself is a cycle route) and since 2006 it has a paved by-pass, while the special was filmed in 2009. But paved by-pass isn't a good television, is it... Actually, until I saw Mr. Wilman here talking about Alabama I assumed the whole thing was indeed scripted. Alright, maybe they were also truthful that Jeremy's number plate in Patagonia was genuine as well?

For me, the moment that changed everything in Top Gear, when they must have realized that there was actually no limit to how outrageous their capers could be, was the Car Boats Redux, where Jeremy's converted pickup truck was sailed across the channel from Dover to Sangatte. Yet I never see any mention of that as any kind of pivotal moment, or even as a particularly memorable one. I'm wondering why that is?......
