Sneak Peek At the New Series Format

Jezzabelle · April 22nd, 2006, 02:17 PM

I went to see the pilot filming yesterday. I would love to tell you everything, but don't want to spoil it for anyone, so thought i'd just confirm or deny the current rumours!

Brian Hasn't left Top Gear (but is seriously over working himself!!)
They do have a brand new studio, which is double the size of the old one.
The car for the 'Star' has changed & the format for the competition has changed.
There is a new member of the crew.

Hope that's whetted your appetites!

Awesome, thanks for the news!

I know where're all satisfied with Top Gear as it is but a change could be good for the program in the long term. I look forward to seeing how it all works from this series onwards...

Could you briefly tell us about yourself btw?

matt_shaw · April 23rd, 2006, 02:59 AM

call me crazy but i get a sneaking suspicion that Jezzabelle is clarkson's wife

ps: it's a crazy guess, but you never know images/smilies/ohmy.gif

flyingfridge · April 23rd, 2006, 03:15 AM

yep you're crazy (hey you told me to)

anyway that's awesome news. I want to know when the series starts though!! my Top Gear withdrawals are getting insanely high!!

EDIT: uh scratch my stupidity, I just checked the homepage, May 7th. SHINY.

LOL! I wish! Well, maybe not wish to be his wife. Perhaps a less formal role would suit me better. Anyway, I'm off topic. Sorry!

Brian is Brian Klein. The Director.

SL65AMG~V12~612BHP!!!!!!!, what do you want to know?

Buba · April 23rd, 2006, 10:13 AM

Some producer? Family guy joke? I thought the producer is that Andy Wilman guy... Maybe Stigs name is Brian and Jezzas wife just filled us in images/smilies/wink.gif

//edit: Ok, she beat me to it images/smilies/wink.gif

Frankly I don't care, sinceIdon't think its possible at the moment to ruin TopGear in any way...
Can't wait for the TG evening (series 7) we got planned for next Saturday with a Beamer and lots of Vodka... images/smilies/wink.gif

Bold, fearless prediction: Suzuki Swift.

It's been hinted at in the last couple of series, it's reasonably priced and the TG crew seem to find it quite agreeable.

Blayde · April 23rd, 2006, 11:12 AM

New car? Hope this ones wheel stays on... images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Ohh like how you found out about this? Do you work on the set or something...

arsemonky · April 23rd, 2006, 11:54 AM

Does that mean that they dropped a person?

And if so, I bet that they'll bring on a woman as "a big twist"

ViperVX · April 23rd, 2006, 12:04 PM

Maybe it s a Suzuki LC,which they mentioned in last series, James suggested that it would do a good RPC, or Fiat Panda.

M3lover · April 23rd, 2006, 12:10 PM

It would make sense with the Swift since it's still a Suzuki, it's cheap and should handle pretty good.

@ Jezzabella

Are you a "insider" and if yes what kind?

I have serious thoughts that Jezabella is much more of an Insider than we think images/smilies/smile.gif

jensked · April 23rd, 2006, 12:47 PM

Maybe Jezzabelle is just messing around? images/smilies/smile.gif

Are you blond and do you want to drive a BMW M5? images/smilies/wink.gif

SL65 · April 23rd, 2006, 12:56 PM

Jezzabelle's IP addy is Britain images/smilies/wink.gif

And get over TGG...that is soo old images/smilies/lol.gif

Is she even around anymore images/smilies/think.gif

Evo7 · April 23rd, 2006, 01:06 PM

On the other thread, Jezzabelle said that the new present was female so it might not even be human!!!! Could be an animal or something

OK, so maybe I am starting to run out of ideas of who it is images/smilies/lol.gif

But I hope it's no one annoying . Not someone they have just put on for eye candy for the men images/smilies/tongue.gif

Plus I'm dead jealous of this woman whoever she is.
