Murray Walker would be a great guest to interview, but given his age (I think he's about 906) I reckon he'd be even slower than Terry Wogan and Richard Whitely.

Anyone remember the "Blind Man" who did a lap with Jeremy? I met him some years ago as a good friend of our works at St Dunstans in Brighton, the charity for ex-servicemen and women who have lost their sight during active service. He's a proper character, and once held the World Blind Land Speed record!!!

Lee Evans (reeeeeally funny guy), Rowan Atkinson (as mentioned), Jason Statham (just because he is soooo cool), Jay Leno, Michael Schumacher & Mika Häkkinen in the same show like they had this season. Now THAT would be pure awesome. Nicholas Cage is also a huge petrol head so that would be cool (if a bit willneverhappen),....hmm....who else....damn, I'm so stupid when it comes to british celebrities/celebrities who are even somewhat into cars. I'll have to think some more.

Like many comic geniuses he is actually a very reserved person. Jack Dee is the same so I've heard - get him off stage and he wouldn't say boo to a goose.
I thought he was a posh git in real life, or that's what I've heard anyway. He's a comedy genius, but I wouldn't want to ruin the illusion. Michael Shumacher would be a good laugh despite being a cheating bastard (sometimes images/smilies/mrgreen.gif) but I think Lee Evans would be a bit too much, I've got one of his DVDs, he grates after a while.

I can imagine Billy Connelly would be fantastic because he loves trying different things.

As for Murray, he may take forever to get around the track, but Clarkson wouldn't need to commentate. images/smilies/lol.gif

Finally, I would like to see the trio in that car. We never ever get to see how fast they actually are.

Wasn’t there a nod from AW about Adam Corolla coming over to,
“… piss on JC’s garden first…”,
when he was spoken to after the pilot taping of TG America?

How about some of the Americans resident in London?

Madonna
Gwyneth Paltrow
Kevin Spacey
Jeff Goldblum


Heck go ‘A-List’, if you’re gonna go mad.

PS No Simon Cowell AGAIN for at least until the end of time,
Ditto - Rob Brydon, as above plus one week.

I hope not, he really annoys me and it would be blatant plugging for TGA, which I don't want on my TV. images/smilies/mad.gif

That's a really good call, and Branson is the kind of guy who would probably do it. He'd be far more entertaining than those two smug gits from Dragon's Den, even 'though they actually turned out to be less smug and more entertaining than most of us imagined they would be.

Chris Moyles. For those who dont know, he's the Radio 1 presenter who rode in Jeremy's Panda limo to the Brit Awards.

He is hilarious.

Let's hope that unlike Wilman, Palmer doesn't lurk around here otherwise your brother or some his colleagues might find themselves on the end of a P45 Interface!!!

I agree 'though, Palmer is a smug w*anker.
