“These are evolved legs,” says comedian Paddy McGuinness about his now notorious Top Gear accident involving a borrowed Lamborghini Diablo. “I went from a Lamborghini to a Skoda in the same episode, so yes, it was painful,” he laughs.
After wasting control of the car in North Yorkshire during the filming of series 29 of the successful car showroom, the 47-year-old Top Gear Take Me Out host made national headlines by “scamming” the bottom of the device for 250,000 euros.
“We were driving, there was torrential rains and there was oil on the road,” he said. “We weren’t going too fast, but the back turned and went to the lawn and the challenge with the Devil is that it’s so low, it’s fiberglass, so it ripped off the back . . . I was thinking about how to make this happen. We headed in the direction — “
“And then the lion of Narnia arrived!” Co-host Chris Harris. The twist of fate has a long-running joke for the most down-to-earth trio of presenters, as highlighted through McGuinness co-hosts, former England cricketer Freddie Flintoff, 42, and motorsport journalist Harris, of 45.
“History adapts each time; it’s a fictional painting worthy of CS Lewis,” Harris says. Honestly, Paddy was worried about this exhibition and took one for the team. That morning, he said, “Look, I’m going to have a very low-speed amateur shunt on this Lamborghini to make it news, and look, it looked great. “
This is exactly the kind of nonsense you would expect given the BBC’s track record. Following the departure of veteran presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in 2015, the exhibit experienced an era of upheaval, with a number of well-known names: adding Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc and Eddie Jordan, they tried their hand at the presentation.
However, it is the combined jovial chemistry of McGuinness, Flintoff and Harris that captivated the attention of car enthusiasts and entertainment enthusiasts. a joke that a trio of successful presenters.
However, it’s a formula that works clearly, given that “the reaction to last season was so strong,” Harris says. At the point where the next series is about to move from its current home on BBC Two to a new high-end schedule. on BBC One after last year’s opening episode that attracted an impressive 3. 5 million viewers.
“There is a graph that all the intelligent people of the BBC have Array . . . The shape of the chart is that the first episode goes very well and then you stop, but it just evolved throughout the series and was an unforeseen pleasure,” Harris explains.
Enjoyed by enthusiasts from around the world, almost everything about Top Gear challenges the conference, adding the desire for the BBC World Service to upload English subtitles to the two northern presenters of the programme.
“I’m the only one who, when we broadcast in the United States, doesn’t have subtitles, so I’m very satisfied. [Flintoff/McGuinness] will have to have subtitles because they clearly speak a mutilated edition of the language you and I speak,” Harris continues with a smile.
As much of the upcoming Top Gear series unfolds north of Watford Gap, it’s a comedian challenge that is suddenly becoming even more widespread. “For the next series, we spent a lot of time up north,” Harris says. “I think as if I were getting in my car and driving 4 hours north all the time, it was a pleasure, I love other people coming from the north. “
Combining scenic landscapes with plenty of adrenaline-fuelled waterfalls, enthusiasts will have to thank Covid-19 for turning the newest series into a UK-centric series. “The first day back was at Alton Towers, which I guess was one of the advantages,” Flintoff says. “There was no one there, so we were able to drive electric cars around Alton Towers, which was amazing. I think we’ve done well with lock-up, haven’t we?”
McGuinness, however, asks to defer. ” What will be appealing when the audience sees this exhibition is [there’s] a specific episode in which we all get in a car and then, when we go out the other side, my hair is discolored, Fred’s hair has grown six. inches and Chris lost two stones, and he’s in the same episode!The other people in the sequel had an absolute nightmare with us. “
“Yes, we haven’t really traveled,” Harris continues in a more serious tone. “I once went to do a force check on a Ferrari SF90, but this had to be allowed through the BBC’s great bosses. All this has been possible, done in the UK and turns out to be the right thing to do. “
It is a management replacement for an exhibition that feeds on the drama imposed across the extremes of the herbal world. “We’ve been doing more and more outrageous things in crazy places for a long time. I think it’s a smart thing to restart: after all, it’s a British engine display,” Harris says. Refocusing, returning to the UK, showing how beautiful this country is and the variety of sales and selling options we have is a smart thing. “
